  • Patent number: 11968512
    Abstract: In an example, a speaker device may include a first transducer and a second transducer. The first transducer may include a first diaphragm, a first magnetic circuit, and a first voice coil disposed in a magnetic gap of the first magnetic circuit to cause vibration of the first diaphragm. The second transducer may include a second diaphragm, a second magnet circuit, and a second voice coil disposed in a magnetic gap of the second magnetic circuit to cause vibration of the second diaphragm. Further, the speaker device may include a magnetic plate having a first surface coupled to the first transducer and a second surface coupled to the second transducer. The first surface is opposite to the second surface.

  • Patent number: 8113692
    Abstract: A light source module for generating polarized light includes a light emitting element, a reflector, and an optical element. The light emitting element generates a light ray, and the reflector reflects the light ray towards the optical element. The optical element includes a light splitting face and a reflection face. The light splitting face receives the light ray, and an angle between the light splitting face and the incident light ray is at about a Brewster's Angle. After the light ray is irradiated to the light splitting face, the light ray is divided into a refraction light and a reflection light. The reflection face reflects the refraction light, and the reflection face is substantially perpendicular to a path of the refraction light. Therefore, a light source with a high degree of polarization is realized by a design of the light splitting face and the reflection face.

  • Patent number: 7619712
    Abstract: A polarizer-alignment dual function film. The film comprising an optically anisotropic material layer having a plurality of strips integrally formed thereon. The strips provide an alignment function for aligning the liquid crystal molecules while the optically anisotropic material provides a polarization function such that the two functions can be integrated into a single-layered film.
