  • Publication number: 20170322662
    Abstract: A display apparatus with touch sensing and force sensing functions includes a display panel, a first touch device, a conductive layer and a dielectric layer. The first touch device includes multiple touch sensing pads. The conductive layer includes multiple force sensing pads electrically connected to each other, where the touch sensing pads separately overlap the corresponding force sensing pads in a vertical projection direction. The dielectric layer is disposed between the conductive layer and the first touch device. The touch sensing pads, the dielectric layer and the force sensing pads form a force sensing device.

  • Patent number: 9300950
    Abstract: An entertainment displaying system for generating interactive displaying effects corresponding to a real object in view of an observation area is disclosed. The entertainment displaying system includes a tracking module, a computing module and a stereoscopic displaying module. The tracking module is used for tracking a relative position relationship between the real object and the observation area. The computing module is configured for generating a stereoscopic virtual object according to the relative position relationship. The stereoscopic displaying module includes a transparent displaying apparatus and an optical-shielding structure. The transparent displaying apparatus is configured for displaying the stereoscopic virtual object. The optical-shielding structure is disposed adjacent to the transparent displaying apparatus and located between the transparent displaying apparatus and the real object.
