  • Patent number: 7350942
    Abstract: The invention relates to a display apparatus, particularly to structure of LED display modules. The invention could be implemented through a LED matrix display module with high luminance area ratio comprising an injection molding unit and a printing board fitted therewith, wherein, LEDs are regularly arranged in a matrix on said printing board, and each pixel dot is correspondingly provided with a reflecting cavity on said molding unit, with the reflecting cavity expanding gradually from the inside section (close to the display surface). The circumference of the inside section of the reflecting cavity forms a closed and smooth circular curve. The invention is characterized in that, the circumference of the outside section of the reflecting cavity forms a closed and smooth curve which is a square with round corners, and the side face of the reflecting cavity is a smooth and cured surface.

  • Patent number: 6322233
    Abstract: An emergency flashlight includes a handle portion and a rotary portion mounted on the handle portion for rotation about a rotary axis. An elongate swing shaft has one end mounted to the rotary portion to rotate therewith, the other end extending substantially radially away from the rotary portion. A light-producing means is mounted on the swing shaft adjacent the end remote from the rotary portion. Inside the handle portion are located generating means and gear means, allowing electrical energy to be created by swinging the handle in a circular motion, thereby causing the swing shaft and the rotary portion to rotate with respect to the handle portion. Conductive means such as wires are provided to carry the electrical energy to the bulb.
