  • Patent number: 7333158
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) display system includes a liquid crystal display and a directional backlight module. The backlight module disposed behind the liquid crystal display includes a light-guide plate, a focusing layer, a left backlight source, a right backlight source, and a first V-shaped micro-grooved and a second V-shaped micro-grooved structures of the light-guide plate. The focusing layer is disposed between the light-guide plate and the liquid crystal display. The 3D display method is to instantly switch on and off the left and the right backlight sources to alternately emit the light from the left side and right side of light-guide plate. By means of the first and the second V-shaped micro-grooved structure, the light transmitted from the light-guide plate is focused by the focusing layer within a particular range of angles and passing through the liquid crystal layer for being alternately projected to form a 3D image.

  • Patent number: 7315645
    Abstract: A medium category determination method for a multi-function peripheral, which uses an algorithm to enhance the differences in the luminance values of three primary color and the corresponding standard deviations. The luminance values color and the corresponding standard deviations become precise bases for category determination of unknown media. Caused by the coarseness and the colors on the surfaces of different media, these differences under visible light are easily collected by scanning modules. The method scans the unknown medium to obtain the luminance values of three primary colors, calculates the corresponding standard deviations of all luminance values of the unknown medium, enhances the differences among the luminance values and standard deviations among the unknown medium and multiple known media by an algorithm, and finally determines the category of the unknown medium as the category of one known medium.

  • Patent number: 7292353
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for measuring the position of a ferrule of a laser module. The apparatus comprises an XYZ stage, a base, a receiving portion and a laser displacement meter (LDM). The XYZ stage is used for moving in three-dimensional directions. The base has a first slot by which the base is detachably connected to the XYZ stage. The receiving portion is fixed to the base and has a second slot. The laser displacement meter is used for measuring the distance between the ferrule and the laser displacement meter. The laser displacement meter is detachably connected to the receiving portion in the second slot. Whereby, the quantitative measurement and correction to the effect of the postweld-shift (PWS) on the fiber alignment shifts in laser-welded laser module packaging is achieved. Therefore, the reliable laser modules with high yield and high performance used in low-cost lightwave transmission systems may be developed and fabricated.
