In a touch panel and display panel structure or an integrated touch display panel structure, an antenna pattern is disposed on a touch module, a display module or an integrated touch display module for an increased distance between the antenna pattern and electronic components below the structure, reducing electromagnetic effect caused by the electronic components and improving the antenna performance. The antenna pattern is arranged at two opposite edges of a top surface of the touch and display module or the integrated touch display module, and also at side surfaces of a housing non-coplanar to the top surface such that the antenna pattern is located outside the displaying area of the display module. Maintaining the effective antenna area and enhancing the working bandwidth of the antenna, the side width of surface of the touch panel and display panel structure or the integrated touch display panel structure is significantly reduced.

In a power factor corrected AC-to-DC power supply system, a DC-to-DC power converter is coupled to the output of an AC-to-DC power converter in order to produce a regulated DC output signal from a rectified AC input signal. The AC-to-DC power converter and the DC-to-DC power converter each includes a switch for controlling the operation of their respective power converter. The AC-to-DC converter includes an inductor. The system provides power factor correction for minimizing harmonic distortion by including a controller that receives the regulated DC output voltage as a feedback signal, and in response, produces a series of drive pulses having predetermined constant duty cycle. These pulses are simultaneously fed to each switch, to operate the respective converters alternately between ON and OFF states. When the AC-to-DC converter is driven by a fixed duty cycle of the series of pulses, power factor correction is improved since the current flowing through the inductor is substantially proportional to the waveform of the rectified AC input signal. By preselecting the value of the inductor, the AC-to-DC converter is operable in a discontinuous mode when the instantaneous rectified AC input signal is low and in a continuous mode when the instantaneous rectified AC input signal is high.

Disclosed is a high-swing voltage-mode transmitter or line driver. The transmitter can operate over a wide range of supply voltages. Increasing the available output swing merely involves increasing the supply voltage; the circuit adapts to maintain the desired output impedance. This allows for a tradeoff between output amplitude and power consumption. Another advantage of the proposed architecture is that it compensates for process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) and mismatch variations so as to keep rise and fall times matched. This feature reduces common-mode noise and hence EMI in systems in which the transmitter is used.
