  • Publication number: 20140157546
    Abstract: A connection mechanism connecting the main body and display of an electronic device includes an arm, a first hinge connecting the main body with the arm, a second hinge connecting the arm with the display, and a magnetic element disposed on the arm for exerting a magnetic attraction force on the display. When the arm rotates in a first direction relative to the main body with an included angle between the main body and the display smaller than a critical angle, a first torque opposite to the first direction is provided by the first hinge. When the arm continues rotating relative to the main body with the included angle between the main body and the display exceeding or equaling the critical angle, a second torque opposite to the first direction is provided by the first hinge, wherein the second torque exceeds the first torque.

  • Publication number: 20090315464
    Abstract: The invention discloses a transformer for a backlight apparatus including a lamp and a detecting unit. The transformer includes a bobbin, a first winding and a second winding. The bobbin has a low-voltage winding region and a high-voltage winding region. The first winding is wound on the high-voltage winding region and is coupled to the lamp. The low-voltage winding region has a first pin, a second pin and a third pin. Firstly, the second winding is wound on the first pin and then wound on the low-voltage winding region for M turns. Next, the second winding is drawn out from the low-voltage winding region, then wound on the second pin, and then drawn back to be wound on the low-voltage winding region for N turns again. Afterwards, the second winding is drawn out again and wound on the third pin, where each of M and N is a nature number. In addition, the third pin is coupled to the detecting unit.
