Nan-Jui CHEN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9753316
    Abstract: A supporting base includes a bottom plate and a plurality of stepwise supporting structures connected with and raised up from a plurality of side edges of the bottom plate. Each stepwise supporting structure includes a plurality of raising segments and at least one supporting segment. The plurality of raising segments and the at least one supporting segment are alternately arranged. The at least one supporting segment is substantially parallel to the bottom plate. The lowest raising segment has a bottom end connected with one of the side edges of the bottom plate. A thickness of at least one of the at least one supporting segment is greater than that of at least one of the plurality of raising segments. A display device using the support base is also provided to improve assembling efficiency and reduce cost.

  • Patent number: 9176273
    Abstract: A display device includes at least two display panels and a frame for supporting the display panels. The frame includes a partition wall configured for supporting at least an end portion of the display panels. A backlight unit is located at one side of the display panels and provides light to the display panels. The backlight unit includes a strip light source, a longitudinal edge of which is extended along a longitudinal edge of the partition wall for emitting light to the display panels disposed at opposite side of the partition wall and two light-guiding plates disposed at opposite sides of the strip light source for guiding the light emitted from the strip light source into the display panels.

  • Patent number: 9103957
    Abstract: A back light module includes a bezel, a light source assembly and a first circuit board. The bezel has a carrier surface, a first back surface opposite to the first back surface, and a through hole passing through the bezel from the carrier surface to the first back surface. The light source assembly is disposed on the carrier surface, and the first circuit board is disposed on the first back surface. The light source assembly includes a second circuit board and a plurality of light emitting elements. The second circuit board is electrically connected to the first circuit board by its conductive pin set via the through hole. Since the light source assembly is electrically connected to the first circuit board by the conductive pin set, the assembly process is simplified and the cost is decreased. A display device using the back light module is also provided.
