Fig. 1 is a functional block diagram of an aiming apparatus 10 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 2A is a side view of the aiming apparatus 10 of the embodiment of fig. 1 in accordance with the present disclosure. Fig. 2B is a schematic diagram of the pointing device 10 of the embodiment of fig. 1 according to the present disclosure. Please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2A-2B simultaneously.

In one embodiment, the aiming apparatus 10 includes an aiming function module 110 and a power module 130. The targeting function module 110 is used for providing an electronic reticle (reticles), and the power module 130 is used for providing direct current power to the targeting function module 110, wherein the power module 130 can be a button cell battery, a rechargeable battery, or an external power source, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.

The aiming function module 110 includes: the display device comprises an operation unit 112, a drive control circuit 114, a display module 116, a half-through lens 118 and a storage unit 120. As shown in fig. 2, the pointing device 10 further includes a base 150, and the display module 116 and the half-through lens 118 are disposed on the base 150, wherein the half-through lens 118 is disposed at a first end of the base 150, and the display module 116 is disposed in a recess of a second end of the base 150. It should be noted that the display module 116 in fig. 2A-2B is provided for illustration only, and the display module 116 may be disposed on the upper surface of the base 150.

The operation unit 112 is electrically connected to the driving control circuit, the display module 116, the half-through lens and the memory unit, and the operation unit 112, the driving control circuit 114 and the memory unit 120 can be disposed in a housing of the base 150, for example. The computing unit 112 may be, for example, a Microcontroller (MCU), a general purpose processor or other equivalent circuits with the same function, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. The memory unit 120 is, for example, a Read Only Memory (ROM), which is used to store program codes or firmware (firmware) required for the operation unit 112 to perform the relevant operations of the pointing device 10.

In some embodiments, the display module 116 is, for example, an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) light emitting module, which includes a plurality of pixel units of a plurality of colors, such as red, green, and blue. The display module 116 may emit light 1161 toward the concave surface 1181 of the semi-transmissive lens 118. In some embodiments, the concave surface 1181 of the semi-transmissive lens 118 includes one or more light-separating films (not shown) that may be used to reflect a portion of the light 1161 emitted from the display module 116. That is, some light rays 1161 pass through the transflective lens 118, and some light rays are reflected by the transflective lens 118 to the eyes 160 of the observer, so that the observer can observe the contents (e.g., the aiming pattern 140) projected by the display module 116 on the transflective lens 118. In some embodiments, the distance between the display module 116 and the semi-transparent lens 118 is about the focal length of the semi-transparent lens 118. In some embodiments, the concave surface 1181 of the semi-transmissive lens 118 includes one or more light-separating films (not shown) that may be used to reflect a portion of the light emitted from the display module 116.

The driving control circuit 114 is used for controlling the aiming pattern 140 and the color thereof displayed by the display module 116 according to the control signal from the operation unit 112. It should be noted that the driving control circuit 114 may not only drive the pixel units of a single color separately, but also drive the pixel units of two or more colors simultaneously to generate the aiming patterns 140 with different colors.

In some embodiments, the display module 116 may also be referred to as an intelligent electronic divider board, which may be responsive to control signals to switch the aiming pattern (icon) 140 projected to the transflective lens 118 and its color. For example, the pointing device 10 further includes an input control module 122 including control buttons 122a and 122b electrically connected to the computing unit 112 and the power module 130. The user may press the button 122a and/or the button 122b to send corresponding control signals to change the aiming pattern 140 and/or the color thereof projected by the display module 116, for example, by circularly switching the aiming pattern 140 and/or the color thereof using the control buttons 122a and 122b, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. Thus, the aiming apparatus 10 of the present disclosure can meet different requirements for aiming patterns and colors thereof for different users in different environments. In addition, since the display module 116 of the present disclosure has an electronic dividing plate function, it can directly project the aiming pattern 140 to the half-through lens 118, so that there is no need to install a mechanical dividing plate on the aiming apparatus 10, and the distance between the display module 116 and the half-through lens 118 can be shortened, thereby reducing the size of the aiming apparatus 10 and the utilization of the mechanism space in the base 150.

If the traditional mode of matching the LED light source with the mechanical reticle is used, the matching and mounting precision requirement of the LED light source and the mechanical reticle is high. If the assembly accuracy is slightly deviated, the product performance of the aiming device is greatly reduced. Furthermore, the conventional mechanical reticle belongs to an optical component, has high requirements on cleanliness and transparency, and is difficult to disassemble and assemble again, so that the mechanical reticle is not convenient to disassemble and assemble or maintain. However, the display module 116 of the present disclosure can simplify the assembly process of the pointing device 10, and not only improve the assembly efficiency and the product yield, but also improve the disassembly, assembly and maintenance efficiency. In addition, compared to the conventional mechanical reticle, the display module 116 of the present disclosure has the function of an electronic reticle, which can avoid the phenomena of halation, scattering, ghosting, etc. generated by the conventional mechanical reticle, so as to further enhance the user experience of the pointing device 10.

In some embodiments, the power module 130 may further determine whether the control button 122a or 122b is not used for a predetermined period (e.g., 12 hours). If the power module 130 determines that the control button 122a or 122b is not used for a predetermined period (e.g., 12 hours), the power module 130 stops providing power to the aiming function module 110 to automatically shut down (i.e., the aiming device 10 is automatically powered off), thereby prolonging the service life of the aiming device 10 and prolonging the replacement period of the battery (e.g., button battery).

In some embodiments, the targeting function 110 further includes an ambient light sensor 124 that can detect ambient light information, such as ambient light color and ambient light brightness, of the targeting device 100. The operation unit 112 can respond to the ambient light detected by the ambient light sensor 124 to transmit corresponding control signals to the driving control circuit 114, so as to adjust the brightness of the pixel units of different colors in the display module 116, thereby fixing the contrast (contrast) of the display module 116, and saving the power of the power module 130 (e.g. using a battery). For example, when the ambient light level detected by the ambient light sensor 124 is relatively high, the control signal sent by the operation unit 112 controls the driving control circuit 114 to switch the aiming pattern 140 to a color with a lower brightness, such as red. When the ambient light level detected by the ambient light sensor 124 is relatively low, the control signal sent by the operation unit 112 controls the driving control circuit 114 to switch the aiming pattern 140 to a higher-brightness color, such as green.

In some embodiments, the aiming function 110 further includes a gyroscope 126 and an environmental sensor 128, wherein the gyroscope 126 is used for detecting a motion and a direction (orientation) of the aiming device 10, and in some embodiments, the computing unit 112 may control the driving control circuit 114 to switch the projected aiming pattern 140 on the display module 116 according to the direction detected by the gyroscope 126. In some embodiments, when the computing unit 112 detects that the dynamics of the pointing device 10 detected by the gyroscope 126 has not changed for a predetermined period, the computing unit 112 notifies the power module 130 to stop providing power to the pointing function module 110 for automatic shutdown (i.e., the pointing device 10 is automatically powered off). The environmental sensor 128 may include various other types of sensors to achieve a particular function. For example, the environmental sensor 128 may include: a wind speed sensor, a humidity sensor, etc. for detecting the wind speed and humidity related to the pointing device 10, and the environment sensor 128 provides the detected environment information to the computing unit 112, and the computing unit 112 may present the environment information on another display screen (not shown) or with a mechanical pointer (not shown) for the user to use as a reference when aiming the pointing device 10.

A conductive layer (e.g., first electrode 104) is formed on the second surface 100b of the substrate 100. The first electrode 104 contacts the substrate 100. The opening 107 between the light shielding layers 101a, 101b substantially corresponds to the first electrode 104. In the present embodiment, as can be seen from the perspective of fig. 2, the longitudinal direction Y of the first electrode 104 has a first side 104a and a second side 104b opposite to each other, and the transverse direction X of the left and right sides of the first electrode 104 has a first side 104f and a second side 104g.

As shown in fig. 4, a plurality of bumps 105a, 105b are disposed on the second surface 100b of the substrate 100 at intervals and cover a portion of the first electrode 104.

In some embodiments, the effective light emitting region 104c has a width W3 of about 4 microns to 6 microns. The effective light emitting area 104c determines the pixel size of the display module 116 in fig. 1. Since the width W3 of the effective light emitting region 104c can be controlled below 10 microns, the pixel density of the display module 116 can exceed 1000 or 2000ppi. In the present embodiment, the sum of the widths W4, W5 of the non-effective light emitting regions 104d, 104e is smaller than the width W3 of the effective light emitting region 104 c.

In fig. 4, the substrate 100 has a thickness L in the longitudinal direction Y, the light shielding layers 101a, 101b (collectively, the light shielding layers 101) have a thickness 101T in the longitudinal direction Y, and the first electrode 104 has a thickness 104T in the longitudinal direction Y. In some embodiments, the thickness L of the substrate 100 is greater than the thickness T1 of the light shielding layer 101, and the thickness L of the substrate 100 is greater than the thickness T2 of the first electrode 104. In some embodiments, the thickness 101T of the light shielding layer 101a, 101b is greater than the thickness 104T of the first electrode 104. In some embodiments, the thickness 101T of the light shielding layer 101a, 101b is equal to the thickness 104T of the first electrode 104. In some embodiments, the thickness 101T of the light shielding layer 101a, 101b is less than the thickness 104T of the first electrode 104.

Table 1 is used to compare brightness, voltage and power consumption between standard specification single green and single red modes, and high performance single green and single red modes of the present disclosure.

TABLE 1

Table 2 is used to compare brightness, voltage and power consumption between the high performance single green and single red modes of the present disclosure and conventional LED-G and LED-R solutions.

TABLE 2

In detail, the conventional LED-G and LED-R solutions of the commercial products have LED light sources that need to turn on all the same-color light emitting pixels in the whole display module, so the power consumption of the conventional LED-G and LED-R solutions is far higher than the power consumption of the high-performance Mono-G and Mono-R modes of the present disclosure, and the brightness is high. In other words, the high performance Mono-G and Mono-R modes of the present disclosure allow the display module 116 to emit high brightness and high contrast aiming patterns with low power consumption, thereby achieving better display effect.
