  • Publication number: 20240142847
    Abstract: A display device includes a panel, a conductive layer, a first color filter array and a second color filter array. The panel has a display surface and multiple sub-pixel regions where the multiple sub-pixel regions and the conductive layer are on this display surface. The first color filter array including multiple first color filter elements is disposed on the conductive layer while the second color filter array including multiple second color filter elements is disposed on the first color filter array. One first overlaid region and one second overlaid region are defined by the orthogonal projections of the color filter elements within one of the sub-pixel regions. In one sub-pixel region, a section of the first overlaid region does not overlap a section of the second overlaid region.

  • Publication number: 20150100334
    Abstract: A system for managing medical information includes a host device for installation at a first location, an image capturing device, and an end device for installation at a second location. The host device encodes medical information into a barcode, and outputs the barcode to an information carrier. The image capturing device captures an image of the barcode on the information carrier so as to create a barcode image. The end device decodes the barcode image for obtaining the medical information encoded by the host device.

  • Publication number: 20050043075
    Abstract: A playing grid includes cells for holding objects of different types, and a cursor that when moved exchanges positions in the grid with an adjacent object. The cursor is prevented from leaving the bounds of the grid. Horizontally or vertically lined-up matchable objects of the same type are deleted. Objects are moved in the grid to cells adjacent to and below unless occupied by other objects. A new row of objects is created below the bottommost row of the playing grid, and shifted up into the grid displacing other objects in the grid up. In an expert mode, falling objects are created at the top of the grid, and objects can be transformed into other objects. In a multiplayer mode, objects can be exchanged and deleted from two playing grids depending on player performance.
