  • Publication number: 20240120735
    Abstract: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) circuit includes a first ESD detection circuit, a first discharging circuit and a first ESD assist circuit. The first ESD detection circuit is coupled between a first node having a first voltage and a second node having a second voltage. The first discharging circuit includes a first transistor. The first transistor has a first gate, a first drain, a first source and a first body terminal. The first gate is coupled to the first ESD detection circuit by a third node. The first drain is coupled to the first node. The first source and the first body terminal are coupled together at the second node. The first ESD assist circuit is coupled between the second and third node, and configured to clamp a third voltage of the third node at the second voltage during an ESD event at the first or second node.

  • Patent number: 9546780
    Abstract: A light source module includes a substrate, a circuit, at least one first light source unit, and at least one second light source. The circuit is disposed on the substrate and includes a first signal channel and a second signal channel. The first light source unit is disposed on a bearing surface, wherein the first light source unit has a first A pin and a first B pin having different polarity from the first A pin. The second light source unit is disposed on the bearing surface and is adjacent to the first light source unit, wherein the second light source unit has a second A pin and a second B pin having different polarity from the second A pin, and the second A pin is adjacent to the first A pin of the first light source unit and has a same polarity with the first A pin.

  • Patent number: 8376604
    Abstract: A frame structure of a backlight module includes a body and a mold frame. A side wall surrounds a bearing surface of the body, and the side wall has at least one stopper and at least one positioning hole. A side edge of the mold frame has at least one positioning post. When the mold frame is disposed on the side wall, the side edge of the mold frame leans against the stopper, and the positioning post of the mold frame is embedded in the positioning hole.
