Abstract
In one example, a display unit comprises a display panel that is configured to display digital images. The display unit further comprises an at least partially transparent protective layer that is arranged above the display panel. The display unit further comprises a controller that is communicatively attached onto an upper surface of the display panel. A biometric sensor pattern is integrated in the controller, and the controller is configured to control the biometric sensor pattern.
Claims20
A display unit, comprising:
- a display panel configured to display digital images;
- an at least partially transparent protective layer arranged above the display panel;
- a controller attached onto an upper surface of the display panel;
- a touch screen layer arranged aside the controller and arranged above the display panel such the touch screen layer is between the display panel and the at least partially transparent protective layer;
- and
- a polarizer and a color filter arranged between the at least partially transparent protective layer and the display panel, at least one of the polarizer and the color filter being arranged aside the controller;
- and
- wherein a biometric sensor pattern is integrated on an upper surface of the controller and the controller is configured to control the biometric sensor pattern, the display panel, and the touch screen layer.
An electronic device comprising a printed circuit board and a display unit arranged at least partly above the printed circuit board, the display unit comprising:
- an outer surface;
- a display panel configured to display digital images;
- an at least partially transparent protective layer arranged above the display panel;
- a controller directly attached onto an upper surface of the display panel;
- a touch screen layer arranged aside the controller and arranged above the display panel such the touch screen layer is between the display panel and the at least partially transparent protective layer;
- and
- a polarizer and a color filter arranged between the at least partially transparent protective layer and the display panel, at least one of the polarizer and the color filter being arranged aside the controller;
- and
- wherein a biometric sensor pattern is integrated on an upper surface of the controller such that a top surface of the biometric sensor pattern and a top surface of the at least partially transparent protective layer are directly on the outer surface and on a same side of the outer surface, and a second surface of the controller is attached to a surface of the display panel, and the controller is configured to control the biometric sensor pattern, the display panel, and the touch screen layer.
A display unit, comprising:
- a display panel configured to display digital images;
- an at least partially transparent protective layer arranged above the display panel;
- a controller directly attached onto an upper surface of the display panel wherein a lower surface of the at least partially transparent protective layer is configured to form a recess to partly receive the controller;
- a touch screen layer arranged aside the controller and arranged above the display panel such the touch screen layer is between the display panel and the at least partially transparent protective layer;
- and
- a polarizer and a color filter arranged between the at least partially transparent protective layer and the display panel, at least one of the polarizer and the color filer being arranged aside the controller;
- and
- wherein a biometric sensor pattern is integrated on an upper surface of the controller such that a top surface of the biometric sensor pattern is within the recess, and the controller is configured to control the biometric sensor pattern, the display panel, and the touch screen layer.
