Abstract: An electronic device includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, an electronic paper display (EPD) screen, storage, a switch module, and a CPU. The LCD screen is configured to display a primary user interface when the electronic device powers on. The EPD screen is configured to display predefined content stored in the storage set when the electronic device powers off. The switch module is configured to power the electronic device on or off in response to user input, and generate a corresponding control signal. The CPU is configured to register the control signal send by the switch module. When the control signal is the power off signal, the CPU directs the EPD screen to display the predefined content.

Abstract: An interface circuit connected between the functional unit and the output/input bus in a multi-chip system is disclosed. One characteristic of the present invention is that the positive voltage protecting diode located between the independent power of the functional unit and the output/input bus in the functional circuit is not required. Therefore, the signal on the output/input bus will not be distorted due to the low resistance load caused by shutting down the independent power of the functional unit. Another characteristic of the present invention is that the negative voltage protecting diode located between the output/input bus and the grounding in the functional circuit is changed to a stable voltage Zener diode. Therefore, the high voltage static electricity is guided into the grounding via the Zener diode so that the goals of anti-static electricity and protecting the functional unit are achieved.
