  • Publication number: 20240094834
    Abstract: An active stylus having physical writing function includes a tip shell including a first opening and a second opening, a first electrode including a first end protruded through the first opening of the tip shell and including a second end protruded through the second opening of the tip shell and entered a main body housing of the active stylus, wherein the first electrode includes conductive material. The tip shell includes non-conductive material. The first end of the first electrode is configured to leave colored traces on an object by physical friction caused between the first end of the first electrode and the object.

  • Patent number: 9880831
    Abstract: A field firmware upgrading method is adapted in a field firmware upgrading system having a computing device and a storage device. First, the computing device is boot up to a real-time operating system (RTOS), wherein the RTOS and a firmware of the storage device are communicated with each other via a driver. The RTOS sends reading commands to the firmware, such that the firmware performs a reading operation meeting a prefix proceeding, wherein the prefix proceeding defines an order which specific logic block addresses (LBAs) are read. After the firmware performs the reading operation meeting the prefix proceeding, the RTOS sends writing commands to the firmware, such that the firmware performs a writing operation meeting a specific writing proceeding to write an firmware image file into the storage device beginning at a target LBA defined by the specific writing proceeding.

  • Patent number: 8823904
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved type of liquid crystal (LC) display device with wide-viewing angle and high optical transmittance. The LC display of the present invention consists of: at least one LC alignment apparatus, which makes the LC molecules within the display area forming a continuous-domain or multi-domain alignments, and hence improve its wide-viewing-angle characteristics; a LC layer formed by Nematic type LC with chiral dopants, and with optimal parameters of the optical path difference ?nd and LC rotations of d/p ratio, such that LC molecules can be aligned along all radial directions to achieve optimal transmittance, and thus producing an wide-viewing-angle LC display improved transmittance without the formation of dark fringes in the display area.

  • Patent number: 8502943
    Abstract: A new type of liquid crystal display (LCD) device with improved high transmittance and wide-view-angle characteristics while without gray-level inversion at an inclined viewing angle is provided. The LCD device includes a first substrate with common electrodes, a second substrate with at least one pixel unit, a liquid crystal (LC) layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, a first polarizer, and a second polarizer. The pixel unit has a pixel electrode, which is formed by at least one dense electrode area and at least one sparse electrode area. The LC molecules of the LC layer form a continuous-domain alignment after being driven by a voltage.
