Abstract: An under display light field sensor is for sensing a fingerprint or touch on or in proximity to a display panel. The under display light field sensor includes a light-field image sensor and a plurality of micro-lenses on the subarrays of the sensing pixels. The light-field image sensor includes a plurality of subarrays of sensing pixels under the display panel. The sensing pixels in an identical one of the subarrays are configured to capture images of an object on or in proximity to the display panel by sensing lights from different directions. Each of the micro-lenses corresponds to one of the subarrays of the sensing pixels.

Abstract: A driving device and an operation method thereof are provided. The driving device includes a first driving circuit and a second driving circuit. The first driving circuit performs a display driving operation to a display panel. The second driving circuit performs a fingerprint sensing operation (including a sensor reset operation and an image capture operation) to the display panel according to a timing control signal of the first driving circuit. The fingerprint sensing operation is operated with a same frame polarity configuration rule. The operation of “the same frame polarity configuration rule” comprises fixing a relation between a first polarity configuration (which is the frame polarity configuration of the display panel when performing the sensor reset operation on a same fingerprint frame) and a second polarity configuration (which is the frame polarity configuration of the display panel when performing the image capture operation on the same fingerprint frame) whenever the fingerprint sensing operation is performed.
