    摘要: An optical fingerprint sensing module is configured to be disposed under a display screen that includes an array of LEDs. The optical fingerprint sensing module includes a light coupler disposed under the display screen, an array of light collimators coupled to the light coupler, a photodetector array, electronic circuitry coupled to the photodetector array, and a processor. The processor is configured to cause the electronic circuitry to capture a first frame while a first plurality of LEDs in the display screen are turned on and a second plurality of LEDs are turned off, and capture a second frame while the first plurality of LEDs are turned off and the second plurality of LEDs are turned on. The processor is further configured to construct a first fingerprint image and a second fingerprint image by combining the first frame and the second frame.

    摘要: Techniques are described for time-of-fly sensors with hybrid refractive gradient-index optics. Some embodiments are for integration into portable electronic devices with cameras, such as smart phones. For example, a time-of-fly (TOF) imaging subsystem can receive optical information along an optical path at an imaging plane. A hybrid lens can be coupled with the TOF imaging subsystem and disposed in the optical path so that the imaging plane is substantially at a focal plane of the hybrid lens. The hybrid lens can include a less-than-quarter-pitch gradient index (GRIN) lens portion, and a refractive lens portion with a convex optical interface. The portions of the hybrid lens, together, produce a combined focal length that defines the focal plane. The hybrid lens is designed so that the combined focal length is less than a quarter-pitch focal length of the GRIN lens portion and has less spherical aberration than either lens portion.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a display screen, which includes a cover glass, a transparent layer disposed under the cover glass disposed under the cover glass, and a display illumination layer disposed under the transparent layer. The electronic device further includes an optical ID sensing module disposed under the display illumination layer and configured to form an image of a fingerprint pattern or a palmprint pattern of a hand of a user. The electronic device further includes a light source disposed at an edge side of the transparent layer, and is configured to emit a light beam to be coupled into the transparent layer through the edge side. A portion of the light beam may be transmitted through the cover glass to illuminate the hand for imaging of fingerprint pattern or the palmprint pattern by the optical ID sensing module.

    摘要: An apparatus may include a first headphone. The first headphone may include a first audio transducer and a second audio transducer. The first audio transducer may generate sound according to a first spectral mask and the second audio transducer may generate sound according to a second spectral mask. The first spectral mask and the second spectral mask may be adjustable at the first headphone. The first headphone may include a digital interface. The apparatus may further include a headphone controller to control the first headphone. The headphone controller may receive an audio signal from a portable electronic device and/or the headphone controller may transmit digital information representing speech, sound, or music to the first headphone. In response to a user input, the headphone controller may cause an adjustment to one or more of the first spectral mask or the second spectral mask.

    摘要: Touch sensing based on optical sensing as disclosed herein can be implemented by using an optical stylus or pointer that emits probe light for optical sensing, and spatially distributed optical sensors at different spatial locations for sensing. The measurements from the different optical sensors can be processed to determine the position of the light from the optical stylus at the screen. Optical sensing of a position on a two-dimensional surface and a position in a three-dimensional space can be achieved for various optical touch sensing applications. In one implementation, an apparatus can include a screen or display, an optical stylus or optical pointer, and two or more optical angle sensors which determine, respectively, a first angle between the first optical angle sensor and a position of light at the screen and a second angle between the second optical angle sensor and the position of light at the screen.
