  • Publication number: 20230236343
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an electronic device including a housing, a light-emitting element and a light diffusion structure. The housing includes a first light-transmitting hole and a second light-transmitting hole. The light-emitting element is disposed in the housing, and is aligned with the first light-transmitting hole. The light diffusion structure includes a first light diffusion layer and a second light diffusion layer. The first light diffusion layer is disposed between the housing and the light-emitting element, and comprises a first semi-transparent region and a first light-shielding region. The first semi-transparent region corresponds to the first light-transmitting hole, and the first light-shielding region surrounds the first semi-transparent region. The second light diffusion layer is disposed between the housing and the light-emitting element, and comprises a second semi-transparent region and a second light-shielding region.

  • Patent number: 11047550
    Abstract: The electronic device provided includes a housing with two first through holes and two second through holes, a light guiding structure, and a light source. A first section is provided between the two first through holes, and a second section is provided between the two second through holes. The length of the first section is less than the length of the second section. The light guiding structure includes a light guiding layer, a diffusion layer, and a light adjusting layer. The light adjusting layer is disposed at the position of the first section. The light source is disposed at a position that corresponds to an intersection of the first section and the second section. Light emitted by the light source passes through the light transmitting portion and the intersection, and is separately emitted through the first through holes and the second through holes along the light transmitting portion.

  • Publication number: 20090321610
    Abstract: The invention provides a supporting member and an electronic device including the same. The supporting member according to the invention may dispose an object on a target firmly. Furthermore, the supporting member includes a circular body and a plurality of bumps. The circular body has an outer surface and is sleeved on the object. Moreover, the bumps are formed on the outer surface, and the height of each bump is different from each other. Particularly, when the circular body is sleeved on the object and disposed on the target, some of the bumps contact the target.

  • Publication number: 20090098455
    Abstract: A battery structure includes a main body and a pulling member. The main body has a first outer surface and a second outer surface which are parallel to each other. The pulling member is connected to the first outer surface and the second outer surface and forms a holding portion extending from the main body. When taking the battery structure out of an electronic device, a user only needs to pull the holding portion, and then the main body can be separated from the electronic device. Whatever the pulling direction is, the pulling member cannot be destroyed, so the convenience in usage and durability can be increased.

  • Publication number: 20060023419
    Abstract: An adjusting air duct adopts a novel design so that it is movable according to the location of the heat generating source in a computer host to be aligned with air vents of the side board of the computer host. Therefore external cooling air may be sucked in through fans and channeled to the heat generating source through the air duct to achieve optimal heat dissipation effect.
