Abstract

A laser pointer suitable for a touch display panel is provided. The laser pointer includes a main body, a laser diode and a wave plate. The main body has a containing space. The laser diode is disposed in the containing space and has a light emitting end. The wave plate is disposed on the light emitting end, wherein the laser diode is suitable for emitting a laser beam having linear polarization from the light emitting end, and the wave plate is suitable for transforming the laser beam having linear polarization into a laser beam having circular polarization, such that the laser beam is suitable for being an input signal for the touch display panel.

Claims (13)

1. A laser pointer, suitable for a touch display panel, the laser pointer comprising:

a main body having a containing space;

a cover disposed on an end of the main body and having an opening;

a laser diode disposed in the containing space and having a light emitting end, wherein the light emitting end of the laser diode faces the cover; and

a wave plate disposed on the light emitting end, wherein the laser diode is suitable for emitting a laser beam having linear polarization from the light emitting end, the laser beam is suitable for passing through the opening to be emitted to the touch display panel, and the wave plate is suitable for transforming the laser beam having linear polarization into a laser beam having circular polarization without moving the opening, such that the laser beam is suitable for being an input signal for the touch display panel,

wherein the laser diode is divided into two parts and leaned against the wave plate, and the wave plate is disposed between the two parts so that the wave plate is fixed firmly.

2. The laser pointer as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a control circuit disposed in the containing space and electrically connected to the laser diode, wherein the control circuit has a switch, when the switch is pressed, the control circuit drives the laser diode to emit the laser beam.

3. The laser pointer as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising:

a battery disposed in the containing space and electrically connected to the control circuit.

4. The laser pointer as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising:

a button disposed on the main body, wherein when the button is pushed down to press the switch, the control circuit drives the laser diode to emit the laser beam.

5. The laser pointer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the wave plate is a quarter-wave plate or a half-wave plate.
