  • Patent number: 7190352
    Abstract: An electro-tactile panel (ETP) apparatus for a display panel is disclosed. The ETP apparatus is composed of three major parts: a controller, a panel, and a holder. The panel consists of four layer made of transparent material. The first layer is an insulating substrate, the second layer is a conductive layer formed of a plurality of horizontal electrodes on the first layer. The third layer is an insulating layer having holes formed therein, which corresponding to the electrodes on the second layer. The fourth layer is a conductive layer formed of a plurality of vertical electrodes on the third layer. The panel is attached to the display panel by means of the holder apparatus. The electro-tactile signal and cursor position is process by the controller when the skin touches the panel so that some positions of the vertical electrodes and horizontal electrodes are electrically connected through the holes.

  • Publication number: 20040041743
    Abstract: A display apparatus and a method for distributed modules of light-emitting elements, the display apparatus comprising: a plurality of display modules, each comprising: a plurality of total passive clusters, an active control module and an electrical structure module. The total passive clusters and the active control module are attached onto the tube-shaped electrical structure module on one side or both sides. The electrical structure module comprises an interface for data and power transmission between the total passive clusters, the active control module and the electrical structure module such that a display apparatus for distributed modules of light-emitting elements is formed. Since easy assembly, setup, removal, maintenance, re-use, adjustment in display size, excellent display size/weight ratio and both single-sided and double-sided display can be achieved, the display apparatus is suitable for use in temporary display sites.
