The inside link member can be elastically deformable based on a pressure applied to the second inclined surfaces that decreases a distance between the link rotational shafts. | 2012-11-22 |
20120292169 | QUANTUM DOTS IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE EXTERIOR SURFACE - Applying quantum dots to surface features of an electronic device to augment or replace reflective and transmissive features. Applying quantum dots can yield more efficient illumination of those features and can permit use of diverse internal light sources to cause those features to emit any color of visible light. An electronic device, keyboard for same and method of applying features to areas of the exterior surface of an electronic device are provided. Quantum dots are applied to an area of the exterior surface that is illuminated by the device's internal light source. The quantum dots absorb incident light then emit predetermined longer wavelength light. The interior light may be a UV light, high energy light emitting diode, or back light. The quantum dots can be applied to exterior surfaces, buttons or key on electronic devices, mobile devices, and keyboards for mobile devices. | 2012-11-22 |
20120292170 | TOUCH PANEL - A touch panel having an operation area and a periphery area surrounding the operation area is provided. The touch panel includes a substrate, a touch element, a complex non-conductive layer, and a light shielding layer. The touch element is disposed on the substrate and located in the operation area. The complex non-conductive layer is disposed on the substrate and at least located within the periphery area, and formed by stacking of a plurality of non-conductive layers and any two adjacent non-conductive layers are made of different materials. The light shielding layer is disposed on the substrate and located at the periphery area, wherein the non-conductive layers are located at a side of the light shielding layer adjacent to the substrate. | 2012-11-22 |
