  • Patent number: 10996498
    Abstract: A display apparatus with touch sensing and force sensing functions includes a display panel, a first touch device, a conductive layer and a dielectric layer. The first touch device includes multiple touch sensing pads. The conductive layer includes multiple force sensing pads electrically connected to each other, where the touch sensing pads separately overlap the corresponding force sensing pads in a vertical projection direction. The dielectric layer is disposed between the conductive layer and the first touch device. The touch sensing pads, the dielectric layer and the force sensing pads form a force sensing device.

  • Publication number: 20200225463
    Abstract: A structured light projector able to project structured light for the depth-perception of objects in a scene includes a laser light source, a first lens on an optical path of the laser beams to collimate the laser beams, and a reflecting mirror. The reflecting mirror imparts a certain or more than one pattern to the light, a target object in the scene reflecting some of the structured light. A structured light depth sensor using the structured light projector is also provided. A depth sensing accuracy of the structured light depth sensor is improved without being limited to an arrangement of light source dots.

  • Patent number: 10712864
    Abstract: A dual-mode capacitive touch display panel includes first and second substrates, a display layer disposed between the first and second substrates, at least two first touch electrodes, at least two second touch electrodes, plural pressure sensing electrodes, and a shielding conductive layer. The first and second touch electrodes are disposed on the first substrate and overlap sub-pixels thereon. The first and second touch electrodes are respectively separated. The pressure sensing electrodes are disposed on the second substrate, and overlap the corresponding first or second touch electrodes in a vertical projection direction. The shielding conductive layer is disposed on the second substrate and includes plural openings, the pressure sensing electrodes overlap the corresponding openings, and the pressure sensing electrodes have a lower surface resistance than the shielding conductive layer does.

  • Patent number: 10540774
    Abstract: A structured light depth sensor for sensing a depth of an object, comprises: a projector for projecting structured lights with different codes to the object; a camera located on one side of the projector and configured for capturing the structured lights reflected by the object; a storage device for storing parameter information of the camera and distance information between the projector and the camera; and a processor electrically connected to the projector, the camera, and the storage device. The processor controls the projector to sequentially project the structured lights with different codes to the object, controls the camera to sequentially capture the structured lights reflected by the object, and calculates the depth of the object. A sensing method adapted for the structured light depth sensor is also provided.
