Abstract: The present invention provides a control method for an optical fingerprint sensor and a touch controller. The optical fingerprint sensor includes a plurality of pixels, and each of the pixels has a first control signal line and a second control signal line. Each of the pixels is further coupled to a first voltage source line, a second voltage source line and a sensing line. The control method includes the step of applying an anti-loading driving (ALD) signal on at least one of the first control signal line, the second control signal line, the first voltage source line, the second voltage source line and the sensing line when the touch controller is in a touch operation period.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus including a display panel and a driving circuit is provided. The display panel includes a plurality of display units. Each of the display units includes a light-emitting element. The driving circuit is coupled to the display panel. The driving circuit is configured to output a scan signal and a reset signal. When a reset interval of the scan signal is transmitted in a non-display area of the display panel, the driving circuit compensates the reset signal and outputs the compensated reset signal to reset the light-emitting element.

Abstract: An electronic circuit adapted to drive a display panel is provided. The electronic circuit includes a touch sensing circuit, a fingerprint sensing circuit and a display driving circuit. The touch sensing circuit senses a touch of a finger and determines a first area corresponding to the touch on the display panel. The fingerprint sensing circuit senses a fingerprint image of the finger corresponding to the first area. The display driving circuit drives pixels of the first area with respective first gray levels and pixels of a second area outside the first area with respective second gray levels. The display driving circuit processes respective third gray levels to obtain the respective first gray levels or the respective second gray levels. The display driving circuit generates gamma voltages corresponding to the respective first gray levels and the respective second gray levels according to a same gamma curve.

Abstract: Provided are a fingerprint identification method for a panel, an electronic device and a control circuit. The method includes setting voltages on the data lines and sensing lines that may affect a fingerprint identification result to a predetermined DC voltage during a predetermined time period before a start of a fingerprint identification period that follows a display driving period. As such, when a display driving operation and a fingerprint identification operation are performed in a time-division manner, the influence of the display driving operation on the fingerprint identification operation can be eliminated, that is, the influence on the fingerprint identification result from the voltage on the data line and sensing line can be eliminated.
