  • Publication number: 20100181929
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a coding sequence's transmission method for the serial typed IC used in a decoration lamp, which mainly applies a dynamic coding technology to a design requiring to initially setup the coding sequence in each time such that each IC adopts the serial typed sequencing transmission and becomes a form with an effect of varying IC address dynamically. While one of the ICs is damaged, it only needs to take a new IC then exchange it directly, and that is all. It can solve the problems of inconvenience in the past that the serial transmission ICs need to burn in the sequence numbers and positioning every IC's addresses, and it needs to get an IC with the same sequence number for exchanging while one of the ICs is damaged.

  • Patent number: 7492359
    Abstract: A linear compensation method for touch control systems aims to provide an accurate correction for the depressing electric field that generates signal sources in a touch control system. Through a voltage detection and compensation approach, and after the touch control system has been shipped from the plant with correction done for a rated duty voltage or set duty voltage, and is installed on an operation environment and receives an actual duty voltage, the linear compensation method of the invention updates the linear compensation data according to the voltage variation between the actual duty voltage and the rated or set duty voltage thereby to maintain accurate depressing electric field at the duty voltage for the touch control system.

  • Publication number: 20070247437
    Abstract: A capacitive touch panel with improved electrode patterns includes an insulating substrate, a conductive layer formed on a surface of the insulating substrate, and an electrode pattern formed on the surface of the conductive layer and disposed along the edges of the touch panel, and the electrode pattern includes a plurality of conductive silver circuits, and any row of the conductive silver circuits has a plurality of electrodes with equal length and equidistant from each other. The quantity of electrodes in each row of the conductive silver circuits is redesigned and any two adjacent conductive silver circuits are installed at corresponding positions with each other, so as to improve the linear response of an electric field and reduce the width of an electrode pattern.

  • Patent number: 7271871
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display panel with reduced flicker comprises an active matrix substrate equipped with a plurality of thin film transistors. The active matrix substrate has an active area that is formed with a plurality of first signal lines and a plurality of second signal lines crossing each other. The active area includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix. There are outer-lead bonding areas around the active area. There are a plurality of pad areas within the outer-lead bonding areas. A plurality of second wires arranged in a fan-out configuration extend from the pad areas and stretch toward the active area. The second wires are connected to their respective first signal lines by their serpentine or zigzag routes resulting in various wire lengths. A frame-like lead overlaps the second wires, and a capacitor exists between each of the second wires and the closed frame-like lead.

  • Patent number: 7244901
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a capacitive touch panel, which comprises: an insulation substrate; an electrically-conductive layer, installed on the insulation substrate; and multiple electrically-conductive segments, installed on the perimeter of the electrically-conductive layer. The present invention improves the distribution characteristics of the electric field neighboring the frame of a touch panel via providing at least one chamfer for one end of each electrically-conductive segment. Thereby, the distribution of the electric field lines neighboring the frame can be smooth and uniform. Thus, the accuracy and the usable area of the touch panel are promoted.

  • Patent number: 6657136
    Abstract: Terminating resistances are provided to at least some pins of an ASIC or other multi-pin component mounted on a surface of a circuit board, by positioning a second circuit board on the surface of the main circuit board substantially opposite, and preferably aligned with or overlapping, the multi-pin component. The second circuit board accommodates a resistor such as a printed resistor, surface mount resistor or buried resistor. Preferably, vias in the main circuit board connect pins of the ASIC to terminating resistors. Preferably one or both of the ASIC and the second circuit board are coupled to the main circuit board by a ball grid array.
