Patent number: 7696984Abstract: An optical mouse system with a high-angle optical path features small size and low power consumption. The illumination source and optical sensor are mounted in the same plane, directly on the PCB. The higher angle of the optical path causes more light to be reflected to the optical sensor, increasing optical efficiency and allowing a smaller, lower powered LED to be used. This also results in increased sensitivity of the optical sensor, allowing use of the mouse on surfaces on which conventional optical mice cannot function adequately. Sensitivity can be further increased by optional isolation of the optical sensor and illumination source. Lower power usage increases battery life for mobile or wireless-mouse use, while reducing thermal waste considerations. This allows the creation of a significantly smaller form factor for the overall package, thereby reducing materials costs and giving designers more flexibility for external design considerations.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2005Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Pixon Technologies Corp.Inventors: Rong Yaw Wu, Shih Che Chen, Shu Ying Chang

Publication number: 20080094717Abstract: A focus optical lens array assembly has two lens sections each encased in a housing. The housings are made of black polymer to block unwanted scattered or external light. The lens assembly can all be made by injection-molding. Notches, locating holes, posts, and ears serve to orient and align the parts, and to prevent incorrect assembly. The housings include a plurality of holes that extend to the edge of the individual lenses. This prevents any unwanted light from passing to other adjacent lenses. As a result, cross-talk is reduced and ghosting is prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2007Publication date: April 24, 2008Inventors: Rong-Yaw Wu, Sheng Chen, Shih-Che Chen

Publication number: 20070297189Abstract: A light guide assembly as a linear light source for enhancing the uniformity of beaming light within the beaming light's effective focal range comprising a light guide bar connected to a light source assembly and a reflective housing encasing the light guide bar. One surface of the light guide bar is a light-scattering/light-emission surface, and other surfaces are all reflective. The emission plane has gradually changing indentations for adjusting the light refractive and reflecting indexes to ensure the light uniformity. The reflective housing covering the light guide bar is used for enhancing the light reflection and intensity. An opening is formed in the reflective housing corresponding to the emission plane of the light guide bar, and a reflecting flange is formed at one side of the opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2007Publication date: December 27, 2007Inventors: Rong WU, Shih-Che Chen, Chih-Ming Yen
