Abstract: A reflective display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate. A thin film transistor and a reflective layer are disposed on the first substrate. A color resist layer is disposed on the second substrate. The reflective display panel includes a color sub-pixel region and a white sub-pixel region adjacent to each other. The color sub-pixel region has the color resist layer, and the white sub-pixel region has no color resist layer. A buffer layer is disposed in the white sub-pixel region on the first substrate or the second substrate. A cell gap between the first substrate and the second substrate in the white sub-pixel region is smaller than a cell gap between the first substrate and the second substrate in the color sub-pixel region. In this way, reflectivity and chromaticity can be improved.

Abstract: A multiple-target vital sign detector includes a self-injection-locked oscillator (SILO), a chirp up/down converter, a frequency demodulator and a multiple-target vital sign processor. The chirp up/down converter performs conversion from an oscillation signal generated by the SILO to a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signal to detect an area and from a received FMCW signal reflected from the area to an injection signal, while the SILO is injected with the injection signal to enter a self-injection-locked state. The locations and vital signs of multiple subjects are extracted from the oscillation signal using the frequency demodulator and the multiple-target vital sign processor. The objective of using the SILO is to improve the sensitivity of the FMCW detection process so as to more effectively distinguish the vital signs of multiple subjects at different locations.

Abstract: A SIL monopulse radar includes a self-injection-locking oscillator (SILO), a transmit antenna, two receive antennas, a hybrid coupler, a first demodulator, a second demodulator and a processor. The transmit antenna transmits the oscillation signal of the SILO to object. The two receive antennas receive a reflected signal from the object as a first echo signal and a second echo signal. The hybrid coupler outputs a difference signal and a sum signal. The difference signal is injected into the SILO. The first demodulator frequency-demodulates the oscillation signal to produce a first demodulated signal. The second demodulator phase-demodulates the sum signal by using the oscillation signal as a reference signal to produce a second demodulated signal. The processor processes the first and second demodulated signals to produce a monopulse ratio signal. The SIL monopulse radar can identify the posture and motion of a human body by analyzing the monopulse ratio signal.

The drive signal has an intensity that gradually decreases over time once the key switches from the on state to the off state such that the indicating light provided by the light emitting component has a luminance that gradually decreases over time.
