    Abstract: A transparent display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes a plurality of white sub-pixels and a plurality of color sub-pixels that are mixedly arranged. The display apparatus also includes a control module for controlling the white sub-pixels and the color sub-pixels. When the display apparatus is in a transparent mode, the control module reduces or stops light emitting from the color sub-pixels and allows at least a part of ambient light behind the white sub-pixels to emit from the white sub-pixels to achieve the see-through effect. When the display apparatus is in a display mode, the control module adjusts at least one of the white or color sub-pixels to ensure that light from the white sub-pixels is far less than light from the color sub-pixels.

  • Publication number: 20140085914
    Abstract: A contactless generator includes a generating module and a magnetic module. The generating module includes an energy converter and a rotator. The rotator has a surface and mechanical energy when rotating and is rotatable relative to the energy converter. The magnetic module is mounted on the surface of the rotator, aligned with the energy converter, and produces a intrinsic magnetic field. The intrinsic magnetic field is subjected to a contactless active force from an external contactless moving metallic object and drives the rotator to rotate. The energy converter converts mechanical energy of the rotator when rotating into electricity by a converting means.
