  • Patent number: 11934027
    Abstract: An optical system affixed to an electronic apparatus is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a third optical module. The first optical module is configured to adjust the moving direction of a first light from a first moving direction to a second moving direction, wherein the first moving direction is not parallel to the second moving direction. The second optical module is configured to receive the first light moving in the second moving direction. The first light reaches the third optical module via the first optical module and the second optical module in sequence. The third optical module includes a first photoelectric converter configured to transform the first light into a first image signal.

  • Publication number: 20240071981
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor structure includes the following steps. A semiconductor wafer is provided. A plurality of first surface mount components and a plurality of second surface mount components are bonded onto the semiconductor wafer, wherein a first portion of each of the second surface mount components is overhanging a periphery of the semiconductor wafer. A first barrier structure is formed in between the second surface mount components and the semiconductor wafer. An underfill structure is formed under a second portion of each of the second surface mount components, wherein the first barrier structure blocks the spreading of the underfill structure from the second portion to the first portion.

  • Patent number: 8550686
    Abstract: A display panel and a light source device used therein are provided. The display panel includes a light-guide thin-film circuit substrate, a light source and a polarizing layer. The light-guide thin-film circuit substrate has a light entrance end and a light exit top surface, and the light source is disposed corresponding to the light entrance end. The polarizing layer is disposed on the light-guide thin-film circuit substrate and parallels the light exit top surface of the light-guide thin-film circuit substrate. The light produced by the light source enters the circuit substrate through the light entrance end, guided and transmitted through the circuit substrate, and then leaves the circuit substrate through the light exit top surface and enters the polarizing layer. The light after passing through the polarizing layer is turned into a polarized light having flat light source effect as a backlight source for the system.
