摘要: An apparatus may include an ultrasonic sensor stack, a foldable display stack and a transmission enhancement layer. The foldable display stack may include a display stiffener and display stack layers. The display stack layers may form one or more display stack resonators configured to enhance ultrasonic waves transmitted by the ultrasonic sensor stack in a first ultrasonic frequency range. In some implementations, a transmission enhancement resonator may include the display stiffener and the transmission enhancement layer. In some examples, the transmission enhancement resonator may include at least a portion of the ultrasonic sensor stack. The transmission enhancement resonator may be configured to enhance the ultrasonic waves transmitted by the ultrasonic sensor stack in the first ultrasonic frequency range.

摘要: An acoustic receiver system may be configured for receiving dynamic friction acoustic waves produced via relative motion between an outer surface of an apparatus and a target object in contact with the outer surface. A control system may be configured for receiving acoustic signals from the acoustic receiver system. The acoustic signals may correspond to a first instance of the dynamic friction acoustic waves. The control system may be configured for extracting target object features from the first acoustic signals and for performing an authentication process based, at least in part, on the target object features.

摘要: A stylus-tracking device may include a piezoelectric receiver or transceiver array on a first side (e.g., underneath) a display. Image data may be acquired from the piezoelectric receiver array. The image data may correspond to signals produced by the piezoelectric receiver array in response to an acoustic signal and/or a mechanical deformation caused by a target object (e.g., a stylus) in contact with a surface, such as a cover glass, proximate a second side of the display. A doublet pattern in the image data may include a first area of having signals below a threshold level and a second area having signals above the threshold level. Based on one or more doublet pattern characteristics, a position of the target object on the surface, a force of the target object on the surface and/or a first direction of movement of the target object relative to the surface may be estimated.

摘要: Disclosed are methods, devices, apparatuses, and systems for an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. A display device may include a platen, a display underlying the platen, and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor underlying the display, where the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is configured to transmit and receive ultrasonic waves via an acoustic path through the platen and the display. A light-blocking layer and/or an electrical shielding layer may be provided between the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and the display, where the light-blocking layer and/or the electrical shielding layer are in the acoustic path. A mechanical stress isolation layer may be provided between the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and the display, where the mechanical stress isolation layer is in the acoustic path.

摘要: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for a controller configured to switch operation of a fingerprint sensor among operational modes. In one aspect, a fingerprint sensor may switch from operating in a first operational mode to a second operational mode based on one or more characteristics of fingerprint image data generated with the fingerprint sensor operating in the first operational mode. One of the first operational mode or the second operational mode may be a capacitive sensing mode, and the other may be an ultrasonic sensing mode.

摘要: An ultrasonic sensor pixel includes a substrate, a piezoelectric micromechanical ultrasonic transducer (PMUT) and a sensor pixel circuit. The PMUT includes a piezoelectric layer stack including a piezoelectric layer disposed over a cavity, the cavity being disposed between the piezoelectric layer stack and the substrate, a reference electrode disposed between the piezoelectric layer and the cavity, and one or both of a receive electrode and a transmit electrode disposed on or proximate to a first surface of the piezoelectric layer, the first surface being opposite from the cavity. The sensor pixel circuit is electrically coupled with one or more of the reference electrode, the receive electrode and the transmit electrode and the PMUT and the sensor pixel circuit are integrated with the sensor pixel circuit on the substrate.

摘要: Systems and methods for multi-spectral ultrasonic imaging are disclosed. In one embodiment, a finger is scanned at a plurality of ultrasonic scan frequencies. Each scan frequency provides an image information set describing a plurality of pixels of the finger including a signal-strength indicating an amount of energy reflected from a surface of a platen on which a finger is provided. For each of the pixels, the pixel output value corresponding to each of the scan frequencies is combined to produce a combined pixel out put value for each pixel. Systems and methods for improving the data capture of multi-spectral ultrasonic imaging are also disclosed.

摘要: Some disclosed implementations include an ultrasonic sensor stack and an acoustic resonator. The acoustic resonator may be configured to enhance ultrasonic waves transmitted by the ultrasonic sensor stack in an ultrasonic frequency range that is suitable for ultrasonic fingerprint sensors. In some examples, the acoustic resonator may include one or more low-impedance layers residing between a first higher-impedance layer and a second higher-impedance layer. Each of the one or more low-impedance layers may have a lower acoustic impedance than an acoustic impedance of the first higher-impedance layer or an acoustic impedance of the second higher-impedance layer. At least one low-impedance layer may have a thickness corresponding to a multiple of a half wavelength at a peak frequency of the acoustic resonator. The peak frequency may be within a frequency range from 1 MHz. to 20 MHz.

摘要: An apparatus may include an ultrasonic sensor system having an ultrasonic transceiver layer, a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer and a frequency-differentiating layer. In some examples, the frequency-differentiating layer may include a first frequency-differentiating layer area corresponding to a lower-frequency area of the ultrasonic sensor system. The first frequency-differentiating layer area may include a first material having a first acoustic impedance. In some such examples, the frequency-differentiating layer may include a second frequency-differentiating layer area corresponding to a higher-frequency area of the ultrasonic sensor system. The second frequency-differentiating layer area may include a second material having a second acoustic impedance. The first acoustic impedance may, for example, be higher than the second acoustic impedance.
