Patents by Inventor Lin-Chu Weng

Lin-Chu Weng has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8297764
    Abstract: A reflective sheet includes a first reflective layer and a second reflective layer. The first reflective layer has a first index of refraction, and the second reflective layer has a second index of refraction. The first reflective layer and the second reflective layer are in contact with each other to form a contact interface, and the first index of refraction is different from the second index of refraction so as to make the contact interface be a reflective surface. A top surface of the first reflective layer opposite the contact interface serves as a light incident surface for the reflective sheet, the reflectance of the first reflective layer is larger than the reflectance of the second reflective layer, and the mechanical strength of the second reflective layer is larger than the mechanical strength of the first reflective layer.

  • Publication number: 20090002989
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an integrally formed reflector structure, a backlight module using the same reflector structure and a method for assembling the same module. An accommodation spacer and a plurality of lamp-support members are formed on a reflector baseplate with a vacuum-forming method, and a plurality of extension portions extend from the edges of the accommodation space. Further, pluralities of support pins, reflecting members, lamp-fixing members, positioning members, bent portions, etc. are formed in the appropriate positions of the reflector baseplate or the extension portions with a vacuum-forming method. Besides, the extension portions are bent from the bent portions to form a plurality of grooves, which are used to secure optical films in cooperation with the positioning members.

  • Patent number: 7422358
    Abstract: A backlight module including a light source, a light guide plate, a lamp reflector and a frame is provided. The light source is disposed at a first side of the light guide plate, and surrounded by the lamp reflector and the light guide plate. The lamp reflector includes a metal substrate and a reflective material layer, and the metal substrate includes a main body and an extended part. The extended part is connected to the main body and disposed under the light guide plate. The reflective material layer is disposed on the main body, and between the main body and the light source, and the light source is surrounded by the reflective material layer and the light guide plate. The light guide and the lamp reflector are disposed on the frame. The backlight module has a better heat dissipation efficiency and lower manufacturing cost.

  • Publication number: 20020110285
    Abstract: A method and system for managing a digital image using online driving from a network are disclosed. A digital image is formed by a capturing device and then is stored in a first memory of the capturing device. Afterwards, a program media automatically diagnoses the capturing device and then installs a driver corresponding to the capturing device for online driving of the capturing device. The digital image in the first memory is uploaded to a second memory of the image server, and therefore the capacity of the first memory is completely released. Thereafter, the digital image is properly edited and is stored in the second memory to manage and distribute with respect to the digital image. Finally, a remote PC is linked to the image server via the Internet for selectively downloading the digital image saved in the secondary memory.
