    摘要: In one form, a touch screen includes an optically transmissive medium, first and second light sources, a detection circuit, and a control circuit. The first light source is positioned to emit light across the optically transmissive medium in a first direction, and the second light source is positioned to emit light across the optically transmissive medium in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The detection circuit detects standing wave patterns of light emitted by the first and second light sources along the first and second directions. The control circuit is coupled to the detection circuit and measures a first standing wave pattern in an untouched condition, and a second standing wave pattern in a touched condition. The control circuit detects a touch location in response to a difference between the first standing wave pattern and the second standing wave pattern.

    摘要: Image sensors may include an array of photodiodes arranged in groups of adjacent photodiodes that generate charge in response to same-colored light. The image sensor may generate high-dynamic-range (HDR) images. To establish an effective exposure ratio between sets of photodiodes on the array for generating HDR images, microlenses may be formed over some photodiodes in a checkerboard pattern and may have portions that extend over other photodiodes in the array. Control circuitry may control photodiodes in each group to perform pulsed integration in which charge transfer control signals are intermittently pulsed for those photodiodes. A substantially opaque element may be formed over photodiodes in each of the groups such that the corresponding photodiodes generate signals in response to crosstalk. In this way, different effective exposures may be established across the array, allowing for HDR images to be generated without motion artifacts and with super-pixel resolution.
