  • Publication number: 20240135745
    Abstract: An electronic device has a narrow viewing angle state and a wide viewing angle state, and includes a panel and a light source providing a light passing through the panel. In the narrow viewing angle state, the light has a first relative light intensity and a second relative light intensity. The first relative light intensity is the strongest light intensity, the second relative light intensity is 50% of the strongest light intensity, the first relative light intensity corresponds to an angle of 0°, the second relative light intensity corresponds to a half-value angle, and the half-value angle is between ?15° and 15°. In the narrow angle state, a third relative light intensity at each angle between 20° and 60° or each angle between ?20° and ?60° is lower than 20% of the strongest light intensity.

    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a measuring method of liquid mixture purity includes steps as follows. A storage tank is provided, wherein the storage tank is configured for storing a liquid mixture including formic acid and water. A calculating unit is provided, wherein a plurality of formic acid purity values are saved in the calculating unit. A pressure-decreasing and heating step is performed by reducing a pressure of the storage tank and heating the storage tank. A measuring step is performed by measuring in the inner space of the storage tank to obtain a pressure value, and measuring the liquid mixture simultaneously to obtain a temperature value. A calculating step is performed by inputting the pressure value and the temperature value into the calculating unit, wherein the calculating unit outputs one of the formic acid purity values corresponding thereto.
