  • Patent number: 10725953
    Abstract: A power delivery control module includes a first interface, a second interface and a controller. The first interface is configured to be coupled with a first external device. The second interface is configured to be coupled with a second external device. The second interface is a USB Type-C interface, and the first interface is not a USB Type-C interface. The controller is coupled with the first interface and the second interface. Wherein when the first interface is coupled with the first external device and the second interface is coupled with the second external device, the power delivery control module selectively transfers power from the first external device to the second external device or from the second external device to the first external device.

  • Patent number: 10256642
    Abstract: A power delivery controller includes a detection unit, a regulation unit, and a control unit. The detection unit has a detection pin and an enable pin, wherein the detection pin is used for detecting a power delivery consumer device. The regulation unit is coupled to the detection unit, wherein when the detection pin detects the power delivery consumer device, the detection unit is used for turning on the regulation unit through the enable pin, and after the regulation unit is turned on, the regulation unit generates an internal voltage. The control unit is coupled to the regulation unit for providing power to the power delivery consumer device according to the internal voltage. When the detection pin fails to detect the power delivery consumer device, the regulation unit is turned off.

  • Patent number: 7344294
    Abstract: A backlight module (100) includes a light guide plate (56), a bottom tray (50) having a spring finger (506), a radiation element (59) disposed adjacent to the light guide plate, and a frame (55) receiving the light guide plate and the radiation element. The light guide plate includes a light incident surface (560), and a side surface (564) opposite to the light incident surface. An ear (566) is formed on the side surface, and the spring finger presses the light guide plate toward the radiation element. A distance between the radiation element and the light incident surface is thereby decreased or even eliminated. This enables the backlight module to provide improved brightness and uniformity of emitting luminance.
