  • Patent number: 11939942
    Abstract: A remote controller, a remote-control system and a control method thereof are provided. The remote controller includes a motion sensing circuit and a wireless communication circuit electrically connected to the motion sensing circuit. The motion sensing circuit determines whether or not a motion of the remote controller complies with one of multiple reference motions. When the motion of the remote controller complies with one of the reference motions, the wireless communication circuit is switched from a sleep state to a working state. The wireless communication circuit that is in the working state determines whether or not a received signal strength indication between the remote controller and a controlled device is greater than or equal to a strength threshold. When the received signal strength indication is less than the strength threshold, the wireless communication circuit is switched from the working state to the sleep state.

  • Patent number: 11719953
    Abstract: A method for collimating light using a film including elongated chambers of bistable electrophoretic fluids. The light-collimating films are suitable to control the amount and/or direction of light incident to a transmissive substrate. Such films may be integrated into devices, such as LCD displays, to provide a zone of privacy for a user viewing the LCD display. Because the light-collimating film is switchable, it allows a user to alter the collimation of the emitted light on demand. Because the films are bistable, they do not require additional power after they have been switched to a display state.

  • Patent number: 11656526
    Abstract: A switchable light-collimating film can be used as a privacy filter for computer monitors or other display devices. The film comprises a plurality of elongated chambers having pigment particles, the position of which can be controlled by the applied electric field. Distribution of the pigment particles throughout the elongated chambers, as opposed to their concentration on one side of the chambers, narrows the viewing angle to the light passing through the film and provides privacy of the viewing images to the user.
