DISPLAY DEVICE
Display of a display device is made less likely to appear divided when a plurality of display panels are used as one screen. Provided is a display device including two display units and a foldable housing that includes a joint portion between the two display units and supports the two display units. Each display unit includes a display panel including a display region and a non-display region and a support having a first surface overlapped with the display region and a second surface that meets the first surface and is overlapped with the non-display region. The two display units are placed in the housing in an opened state such that the first surfaces of the supports face the same direction and the second surfaces of the supports face each other.
ILLUMINATED KEYBOARD WITH OPTICAL SWITCH
An illuminated keyboard with an optical switch is provided. The illuminated keyboard includes a circuit board and plural keys. The circuit board includes plural light-emitting elements. Each light-emitting element is aligned with the corresponding key. The key includes a keycap, a housing, a triggering post, a light guide element and a light guide frame. The keycap is located over the housing. The triggering post, the light guide element and the light guide frame are disposed within the housing. Moreover, the light guide frame is arranged around the triggering post. After a light beam emitted by the light-emitting element is introduced into the housing, the light beam is guided to the light guide frame by the light guide element, and the light beam is scattered to a region around the triggering post and outputted from the keycap.
ADAPTIVE REFLECTED LIGHT TOUCH SENSOR
An adaptive reflected light touch sensor (100, 400) is provided. The adaptive reflected light touch sensor (100, 400) includes an emitter (110) that emits light in a direction that reflects the light (RLI, RLO), a sensor (120, 410) positioned to measure a light amplitude of the reflected light (RLI, RLO), a processor board (150) coupled to the sensor (120, 410), the processor board (150) being configured to calculate a moving average of the measured light amplitude of the reflected light (RLI, RLO) and calculate an assert threshold.

Touchless computer interfaces
This application is directed to touchless interfaces. Some embodiments disclosed are directed to plug and play replacements for casino gaming machine touch-based interfaces on, e.g., slot machines. Existing slot machine interfaces can be replaced with touchless interfaces of the inventive subject matter to enable touchless interaction with gaming machines. This allows people in casinos to minimize contact with gaming machines to stymy the spread of diseases like COVID-19.

CONTACTLESS BUTTON AND BUTTON
A contactless button includes a substrate, a frame, and a sensing module. The frame is arranged on the substrate, and the frame has an opening on a side away from the substrate. The sensing module is adapted for forming a sensing area and has a sensing part that covers the opening. The sensing part has a plurality of layers including a supporting plate, a sheet, and a conductive layer. The supporting plate covers the opening. The sheet completely covers a side of the supporting plate away from the substrate. The conductive layer is located between the sheet and the supporting plate and completely covers the sheet. The conductive layer is electrically connected to the substrate and is adapted for forming the sensing area. A button having the contactless switch function is also provided.
