  • Patent number: 9030434
    Abstract: A touch display panel includes a display panel and a touch sensing unit. The touch sensing unit includes first sensing series, and second sensing series. Each of the first sensing series includes a plurality of first transparent sensing pads and a plurality of non-transparent bridge lines disposed along a first direction. Each of the non-transparent bridge lines is disposed between two adjacent first transparent sensing pads, overlapping with two adjacent first transparent sensing pads, and electrically connected to two adjacent first transparent sensing pads. The line width of each non-transparent bridge line is substantially between 0.5 micrometers and 10 micrometers, and the reduction of aperture ratio in a pixel region of the touch display panel caused by the non-transparent bridge lines is substantially between 0.1% and 5%. Each non-transparent bridge line and the long axis of each sub-pixel region are disposed in a non-parallel manner with each other.

  • Publication number: 20080009777
    Abstract: A massage chair mechanism is provided with a backrest comprising a main body plate. A left supporting plate of the main body plate is provided with an inclining device. With the help of a detecting device and a rotation-measuring element on the inclining device, the signals from the person to be massaged are transmitted to a main control board. The main control board issues a command to drive a crank device to rotate. The rotation of the crank device can drive big and small massaging balls of the massage device to move forwardly and backwardly, such that the most comfortable massage can be applied to the person to be massaged. A footrest elevation device and a calf-rest extension device are provided, thereby moving the footrest to an appropriate location.
