Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for ultrasonic fingerprint sensors that feature an ultrasonic transmitter and multiple subsets of ultrasonic sensor pixels, each subset of ultrasonic sensor pixels associated with a different ultrasonically sensitive display surface, at least two of which are non-coplanar with one another. In some implementations, the ultrasonically sensitive display surfaces may be provided by different portions of a flexible display that has been flexed into a configuration in which two or more portions thereof are non-coplanar. In some instances, a controller may be provided that selectively reads ultrasonic sensor signals from subset(s) of the ultrasonic sensor pixels that are associated with the ultrasonically sensitive display surfaces that a touch-sensing system indicates are experiencing touch events.
