Light-emitting module

The present disclosure provides a light-emitting module. The light-emitting module includes a light guide plate, a light source, and a brightness adjustment element. The light guide plate has a light incident surface, a front surface, and a back surface opposite the front surface. The light incident surface is located between the front surface and the back surface and is adjacent to the front surface and the back surface. The brightness adjustment element has a strip portion and at least one protruding portion. The strip portion has a first edge proximal to the light incident surface. The protruding portion is located on the first edge of the strip portion, and the protruding portion is aligned with the light source and extends away from the first edge.

Display apparatus

A display apparatus includes a frame case to support four sides of a display panel. The frame case is formed by bending a bar-shaped member made of a metal into a rectangular ring shape. Opposite ends of the bar-shaped member facing each other are covered by a cover member, which prevents quality degradation of the appearance of the display.

INTEGRATED LIGHT EMITTING DISPLAY, IR LIGHT SOURCE, AND SENSORS FOR DETECTING BIOLOGIC CHARACTERISTICS
20200342194 · 2020-10-29 ·

A bio-sensor device, integrated with a display portion, includes a surface for touching by a body part, such as a finger. A light source, such as an array of LEDs, emit light through the surface so as to be reflected and partially absorbed by the body part An array of photodetectors detects light reflected back by the body part and generates signals corresponding to an image of the light reflection, which corresponds to the light absorption pattern in the body part. The light absorption pattern may correlate to a fingerprint, a blood vessel pattern, blood movement within the blood vessels, combinations thereof, or other biometric feature. A processor receives the signals from the photodetectors and analyzes the signals to determine a characteristic of the body part. The characteristic may be used to authenticate the user of the bio-sensor device by comparing the detected characteristic to a stored characteristic.

Refrigerator having a cabinet door with a transparent display

Provided is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a cabinet, a door configured to open and close the cabinet and having an opening, a panel assembly configured to shield the opening and including a see-through part, and a light provided further inward from the refrigerator than the panel assembly to illustrate a rear side of a door so that the inside of the refrigerator is visible through the see-through part. The wherein the panel assembly includes a transparent front panel defining a front surface thereof, a display disposed on a rear surface of the front panel, a light guide plate disposed to be spaced apart from the display, a backlight configured to emit light toward an end of the light guide plate, and a rear panel made of a transparent material, spaced apart from the front panel to define a heat insulation space in which the display, the light guide plate, and the backlight are accommodated. The light may emit light to a rear region of the light guide plate from the outside of the light guide plate and be disposed at an angle between a direction parallel to the light guide plate and a rear side crossing the light guide plate.

DISPLAY APPARATUS

20200312204 · 2020-10-01 ·

The present invention provides a clamper and a lighting fixture. An elastic layer for contacting a panel is disposed on a rotatable clamping portion. In addition to that, a distance from a lowest point of one end of the panel clamped by the rotatable clamping portion to a carrier plate supporting a polarizer at one side of the panel adjacent to a thin film transistor is greater than a thickness of the polarizer. Accordingly, the present invention prevents the panel and the polarizer at one side of the panel adjacent to the thin film transistor from being damaged from clamping.
