  • Publication number: 20240126001
    Abstract: A switchable backlight module is disclosed. The switchable backlight module includes two light source modules arranged parallelly with respect to a plane. Each of the light source modules includes a turning film and a LGP. The LGP is of an edge-lit type arranged parallelly under the turning film. A light ray enters the LGP from a light incident side of the LGP, exits the LGP from a light emergent surface of the LGP, enters the turning film, and exits the turning film from a surface of the turning film away from the LGP. The light incident side of the LGP of one of the light source modules is perpendicular to the light incident side of the LGP of the other light source module. The switchable backlight module is in an anti-peeping mode having a narrow viewing angle when only an upper one of the light source modules emits light.

  • Patent number: 9204584
    Abstract: A testing system includes a base, a frame installed on the base, a platform, a first driving mechanism, a second driving mechanism, a locating component, a third driving mechanism and a control unit. Two guiding tracks and a sliding component which slides along the two guiding tracks are disposed under two sides of the platform. The second driving mechanism is connected to the sliding component, and the third driving mechanism is disposed on the sliding component and connected to the locating component. The control unit is for controlling the first driving mechanism to drive the platform to move in a first direction, so that the locating component presses a portable electronic device disposed on the base. The control unit is further for controlling the second driving mechanism and the third driving mechanism to drive the locating component to move in a second direction and a third direction.
