  • Patent number: 7911498
    Abstract: Disclosed is a digital signal processing architecture for a flat panel display having non-uniform regions, which is not by means of materials, optical films or fabrication processes. Therefore, the manufacturing cost and complexity of the flat panel display are not negatively affected. In the digital signal processing architecture, a test is performed on the panel for identifying all pixel locations in non-uniform regions and non-uniform types. Then, input video signals are compared with data about the relative non-uniform regions for determining whether the video signal falls in a normal-region pixel or a non-uniform region pixel. Then the non-uniform compensation on the video signal falling in the non-uniform region pixel is based on the non-uniform type, so that the video signals displayed on the panel are not negatively affected.

  • Publication number: 20100053077
    Abstract: A notebook computer with force feedback for gaming is provided. A vibrating plate is disposed on a host, and a vibration generating device is disposed at the bottom of the vibrating plate to generate vibration when a computer game is executed. Thus, a user playing the computer game may feel the force feedback. Additionally, to prevent vibration from affecting the normal operation of the host, a damper is disposed between the host and the vibrating plate to prevent vibration from being transmitted to the host.

  • Publication number: 20100008039
    Abstract: The invention discloses a portable electronic device comprising a casing, a first support and a second support. The casing comprises a bottom and a recess formed on the bottom. The recess comprises a first side-portion and a second side-portion opposite to the first side-portion. The first support thereon has a first end and a second end, and the second support thereon has a third end and a fourth end. The first end of the first support is slidably connected between the first and second side-portions. The third end of the second support is pivotally connected to the second end of the first support. The fourth end of the second support is pivotally connected between the first and second side-portions. When the first end of the first support slides along the first and second side-portions, the first support will drive the second support to rotate with respect to the casing.

  • Patent number: 7235770
    Abstract: A method suitable for calibrating the deviation of opto-electronic conversion functions (OECFs) in an imaging apparatus is provided. The method of calibrating the deviation of OECFs comprises the following steps. First, the imaging apparatus captures a first image. Next, the imaging apparatus performs an image calibration process with respect to the first image to capture a second image and simultaneously obtain an OECF set. The OECF set includes at least an optical characteristic value of the second image and at least an electrical characteristic value of the imaging apparatus. Finally, the aforementioned steps are repeated to obtain a number of images and their corresponding OECF sets.

  • Publication number: 20070132661
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a compensation hardware device for non-uniform regions in a flat panel display. The hardware device processes the flat panel display having non-uniform regions through digital signal processing, instead of by using materials, optical films or fabrication processes. Therefore, the manufacturing cost and complexity of the flat panel display are not negatively affected. In the digital signal processing architecture, a non-uniform-region compensation unit is used to process a video signal falling in a non-uniform region pixel, such that the non-uniform regions may not negatively affect the video signal displayed on the panel.

  • Publication number: 20070035674
    Abstract: An active device array substrate comprising a substrate, a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of data lines and a plurality of active devices is provided. The scan lines, the data lines, and the active devices are disposed on the substrate. Each of the active devices is connected to one of the scan lines and one of the data lines and the surfaces of the active devices are not parallel to the surface of the substrate. Because surfaces of the active devices incline to the surface of the substrate, the projection areas of non-transparency of the active devices on the surface of the substrate could be reduced. Moreover, this active device array substrate could be applied to a liquid crystal display panel and other active matrix flat panel display to obtain a better pixel aperture.
