  • Patent number: 11971601
    Abstract: An imaging lens assembly includes a plurality of optical elements and an accommodating assembly, wherein the accommodating assembly is for containing the optical elements. The accommodating assembly includes a conical-shaped light blocking sheet and a lens barrel. The conical-shaped light blocking sheet includes an out-side portion and a conical portion, and the conical portion is connected to the out-side portion. The conical portion includes a conical structure tapered from the out-side portion toward one of an object-side and an image-side along the optical axis. The lens barrel is disposed on one side of the conical portion. The optical elements include a most object-side optical element, a most image-side optical element and at least one optical element. The conical structure of the conical-shaped light blocking sheet is physically contacted with only one of the lens barrel, the most object-side optical element and the most image-side optical element.

  • Publication number: 20240134167
    Abstract: An optical path folding element includes a main body, a light absorption film layer and a matte structure. The main body has optical surface including an incident surface, a reflective surface and an emitting surface. A light enters into the optical folding element through the incident surface. The reflective surface reflects the light so as to change a traveling direction thereof. The light exits the optical folding element through the emitting surface. The light absorbing film layer is configured to reduce reflectance and provided adjacent to at least part of the optical surface, and the light absorbing film layer is in physical contact with the main body. The matte structure is disposed adjacent to at least part of the optical surface. The matte structure provides an undulating profile on a surface of the optical path folding element, and the matte structure is formed in one-piece with the main body.

  • Patent number: 11948971
    Abstract: A method includes forming isolations extending into a semiconductor substrate, recessing the isolation regions, wherein a semiconductor region between the isolation regions forms a semiconductor fin, forming a first dielectric layer on the isolation regions and the semiconductor fin, forming a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer, planarizing the second dielectric layer and the first dielectric layer, and recessing the first dielectric layer. A portion of the second dielectric layer protrudes higher than remaining portions of the first dielectric layer to form a protruding dielectric fin. A portion of the semiconductor fin protrudes higher than the remaining portions of the first dielectric layer to form a protruding semiconductor fin. A portion of the protruding semiconductor fin is recessed to form a recess, from which an epitaxy semiconductor region is grown. The epitaxy semiconductor region expands laterally to contact a sidewall of the protruding dielectric fin.

  • Publication number: 20240069410
    Abstract: A variable aperture module includes a blade assembly including movable blades, a positioning element including positioning structures and a driving part including a rotation element. The movable blades are disposed around an optical axis to form a light passable hole with adjustable size for different hole size states and each have an inner surface to define the contour of the light passable hole in each hole size state. The positioning structures correspond to the movable blades. The rotation element is rotatable with respect to the positioning element and is configured to rotate the movable blades to adjust a size of the light passable hole. There are matte structures disposed on each inner surface. Each matte structure is single structure extending towards the optical axis, such that at least part of the contour of the light passable hole has an undulating shape at least in several hole size states.

  • Publication number: 20210167626
    Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply system is connected to a load, and the uninterruptible power supply system includes an output terminal, a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, a controller, and a protection circuit. In a first period that the load is supplied power by the power unit, the controller turns on the first switch and the third switch and turns off the second switch. In a second period that the load is supplied power by the battery unit, the controller turns off the first switch and turns on the second switch and the third switch. If at least one of the power unit and the output terminal is abnormal, or if at least one of the battery unit and the output terminal is abnormal, the third switch is turned off by at least one of the protection circuit and the controller.
