  • Publication number: 20230176384
    Abstract: A pair of projection glasses, a wearable projection apparatus, and a foldable optical engine are provided. The foldable optical engine includes a projection mechanism and a light emitting mechanism. A light input portion of the projection mechanism corresponds in position to a light output portion of the light emitting mechanism. The projection mechanism and the light emitting mechanism are pivotally connected to each other along a rotation axis so as to be rotatable relative to each other along the rotation axis. When the projection mechanism and the light emitting mechanism are rotated relative to each other to cause the light output portion to face toward the light input portion, the light emitting mechanism is configured to emit a light beam from the light output portion toward the light input portion, so as to allow the projection mechanism to receive the light beam for projecting an image light.

  • Publication number: 20200211163
    Abstract: The invention provides an image compensation method suitable to a display. First, an image processing circuit obtains pixel data related to a current pixel, a first and a second adjacent pixels from an image frame. The first and the second adjacent pixels are respectively located at two opposite sides of the current pixel. Then, the image processing circuit determines whether a color block edge exists between the current pixel, the first adjacent pixel and the second adjacent pixel according to the pixel data related to the current pixel, the first adjacent pixel and the second adjacent pixel. The image processing circuit performs first color edge compensation on the pixel data related to the current pixel when determining that the color block edge exists between the current pixel and the first adjacent pixel and no color block edge exists between the current pixel and the second adjacent pixel. An image processing circuit is further provided.

  • Patent number: 8646812
    Abstract: A connector assembly has a hollow first connector and a hollow second connector. The first connector has an engaging block. The second connector has an opened connecting end, a guiding groove, a resilient tab cavity, an escaping segment and a resilient tab. The resilient tab cavity is defined in the second connector at a side of the guiding groove opposite to the connecting end and communicates with the guiding groove. The escaping segment is formed on and protrudes from an outer surface of the second connector at a position between the guiding groove and the connecting end of the second connector and is hollow to define an escaping space communicating with the guiding groove. The resilient tab is formed on and protrudes from an inner surface of the resilient tab space and has a free end extending into the guiding groove.
