Patent number: 8659538Abstract: A transflective liquid crystal display device. A first substrate having viewing and peripheral areas is provided. The viewing area comprises transmissive and reflective regions. A backlight device is disposed under the first substrate, used to provide a backlight passing through the transmissive region. A power management controller connects the backlight device to control an intensity of the backlight. At least one photodetector is formed on the first substrate in the peripheral area, wherein the photodetector detects an intensity of ambient light above the first substrate, and then provides a corresponding signal to the power management controller to control the intensity of the backlight. According to the invention, the intensity of the backlight automatically becomes greater when the intensity of the ambient light becomes lower, and the intensity of the backlight automatically becomes lower when the intensity of the ambient light becomes greater.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2011Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: AU Optronics Corp.Inventors: Ming-Chin Chang, Yang-En Wu, Po-Lun Chen

Publication number: 20080296604Abstract: The invention discloses an LED lead frame and the manufacture method thereof. First, a press-formed strip including a guide strip, a first metal frame, and a second metal frame is provided. The first metal frame and the second metal frame are connected to the guide strip and are connected to each other via a connection part. The first metal frame includes a first region. The second metal frame includes a second region. The connection part includes a third region. Then, the press-formed strip is clipped by a fixture such that the first region and the second region are exposed. Then, the press-formed strip is put in an electroplate solution and an electroplate layer is plated on the first region and the second region, but not on the third region. At last, the fixture is removed. The LED lead frame is then obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2008Publication date: December 4, 2008Inventors: Wan-Shun Chou, Hsin-Chang Chu, Ming-Chin Chang, Hsi-Chen Hsihe
