  • Patent number: 11809070
    Abstract: A switchable projector module includes a holder, a projector, and a switchable diffuser. The holder includes a first connection tank and a second connection tank, in which the second connection tank is located at a side of the first connection tank. The second connection tank has a spilling glue trench. The projector is engaged with the first connection tank and is configured to project a pattern image onto the second connection tank. The switchable diffuser is engaged with the second connection tank. The switchable diffuser is configured to switch between a first mode and a second mode, so as not to diffuse the pattern image in the first mode and diffuse the pattern image in the second mode.

  • Publication number: 20200133018
    Abstract: A DOE module including a transparent substrate, a first electrode, a second electrode, a first sensing wire, a sensing layer, a DOE layer, and an insulating layer is provided. The first electrode is disposed on the transparent substrate, and the second electrode is disposed on the transparent substrate. The first sensing wire is distributed on the transparent substrate and electrically connected to the first electrode. The sensing layer is distributed on the transparent substrate and electrically connected to the second electrode. The first sensing wire is insulated from the sensing layer to form a capacitance between the first sensing wire and the sensing layer. The DOE layer is disposed on the transparent substrate. The insulating layer covers the first sensing wire and the sensing layer. The insulating layer has a first opening and a second opening respectively exposing the first electrode and the second electrode.
