Abstract

An electronic card including a first substrate, a control unit, a display unit and a driving circuit is provided. The control unit is disposed on the first substrate, receives an external voltage so as to convert the external voltage into an operation voltage, and selectively receives or provides display data. The driving circuit is disposed on the first substrate, coupled to the control unit and the display unit, and outputs a driving signal to the display unit to drive the display unit according the operation voltage and the display data.

Claims (11)

1. An electronic card, comprising:

a first substrate;

a control unit, disposed on the first substrate, and receiving an external voltage for converting into an operating voltage, and selectively receiving or providing display data;

a display unit;

a driving circuit, disposed on the first substrate, and coupled to the control unit and the display unit, and outputting a driving signal to the display unit to drive the display unit according the operating voltage and the display data; and

a temperature sensing unit disposed on the first substrate and coupled to the control unit, wherein the temperature sensing unit senses an environment temperature of the electronic card and outputs a temperature parameter to the control unit, and the control unit controls the driving circuit to output the corresponding driving signal according to the temperature parameter.

2. The electronic card as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display unit is disposed on the first substrate.

3. The electronic card as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a second substrate bonded to the first substrate, wherein the display unit is disposed on the second substrate.

4. The electronic card as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when the environment temperature is lower than a predetermined low level, the control unit controls the driving circuit to increase a voltage difference between a voltage level of the driving signal and a common voltage according to the temperature parameter, and when the environment temperature is higher than a predetermined high level, the control unit controls the driving circuit to decrease the voltage difference between the voltage level of the driving signal and the common voltage according to the temperature parameter.

5. The electronic card as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when the environment temperature is lower than a predetermined low level, the control unit controls the driving circuit to increase a driving time of the driving signal according to the temperature parameter, and when the environment temperature is higher than a predetermined high level, the control unit controls the driving circuit to decrease the driving time of the driving signal according to the temperature parameter.

6. The electronic card as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a gravity sensing unit disposed on the first substrate and coupled to the control unit, wherein the gravity sensing unit senses a movement of the electronic card, and outputs a movement parameter to the control unit, and the control unit controls the driving circuit to output the corresponding driving signal to drive the display unit according to the movement parameter.
