Patents by Inventor Shiang-Wen Wan

Shiang-Wen Wan 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: 7567034
    Abstract: A plasma display panel includes a plurality of first discharge spaces positioned between a front substrate and a rear substrate, and a plurality of sub-pixel units, each of the first discharge spaces having at least two of the sub-pixel units. Each of the first discharge spaces having at least two of the sub-pixel units increases the space available to discharge gas in each sub-pixel unit, thereby reducing a discharge voltage of the discharge gas in each sub-pixel unit and further decreasing an operating voltage and power consumption of the plasma display panel.

  • Publication number: 20090159417
    Abstract: An organic/inorganic composite structure is provided for serving as an overcoat of a capacitive touch panel. Such structure provides the overcoat with a capacitive property and refraction so that the sensitivity and the transparency of the touch panel are improved. Moreover, the entire thickness of the touch panel is also reduced in accordance with the present invention.

  • Patent number: 7012371
    Abstract: The present application describes a plasma display panel structure with high contrast ratio and high luminance. In one embodiment, display cells in the plasma display panel are arranged in a delta structure. The delta structure of display cells enhances the luminance and contrast ratio of the plasma display panel. In some embodiments, a light-shielding layer is configured to selectively exclude display cells of one or more selected colors to enhance the color temperature of the plasma display panel.
