  • Patent number: 8810531
    Abstract: In a method of a touch panel determining multi-touch, the touch panel can determine if a sensing channel having a local minimum of a sensing value is the last sensing channel having the sensing value, or determine if sensing channels having the sensing value larger than a threshold generated according to a maximum are successive sensing channels, so as to determine the number of touch points on the touch panel. In addition, the touch panel can find a first local maximum and a second local maximum from the sensing values of the sensing channels, and compare the first local maximum and the second local maximum with a first reference and a second reference, so as to confirm the number of touch points on the touch panel.

  • Patent number: 8283110
    Abstract: A method for fabricating an image sensor device is disclosed. The method for fabricating an image sensor device comprises forming a photosensitive layer on a substrate. The photosensitive layer is exposed through a first photomask to form an exposed portion and an unexposed portion. The unexposed portion is partially exposed through a second photomask to form a trimmed part, wherein the second photomask comprise a first segment and a second segment that has a transmittance greater than that of the first segment. The trimmed part is removed to form photosensitive structures. The photosensitive structures are reflowed to form a first microlens and a second microlens having different heights.

  • Patent number: 7692624
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes a plurality of light sources of different colors and a control device. The control device is used to control the light sources to emit light with different duty cycles. Through persistence of vision, light generated by the light sources will form an image of desired colors. White balance can be achieved by controlling the duty cycles.

  • Patent number: 7459866
    Abstract: The present invention provides a DC to DC conversion circuit, comprising a DC power supply, a DC to DC converter, a power management IC and a load, wherein the load may be a backlight source of a liquid crystal display. The power management IC controls the DC to DC converter to convert a DC voltage supplied by the DC power supply to an output voltage of the DC to DC converter, which is supplied to the load. The power management IC is capable of controlling the DC to DC converter to adjust the output voltage to a minimum voltage actually needed by the load according to the variation of the minimum voltage which is actually needed by the load.

  • Patent number: 7358684
    Abstract: A driving circuit uses a plurality of transformers to provide currents for driving a plurality of LEDs associated with a plurality of current paths. Each transformer has two induction coils with a coil turn ratio between to the number of turns in each induction coil. One induction coil is used to provide an output current to a different current path and the other induction coil is connected to the corresponding induction coil of other transformers for forming a current loop. The output current of each transformer has a relationship with the output current of the other transformers depending on the coil turn ratios of the connected transformers. LEDs in red, blue and green colors can be connected to different current paths so that the brightness of the LEDs in each color can be determined by the current in a current path.
