Abstract
System for display and presence detection are described. In some embodiments, a system may include a display and a sensor. The sensor may include a display switch, first and second display electrodes, and a light emission layer. The sensor may include a sensor switch, a sensor electrode, and an analog front end. The system may further include an external surface configured to transmit light emitted by the light emission layer toward a user.
Claims6
A display system for detecting the presence of a user's finger or other element, the system comprising:
- a display comprising:
- a first switch;
- a first display electrode;
- a second display electrode;
- and
- a light emission layer disposed between the first display electrode and the second display electrode, wherein the first display electrode and the second display electrode are configured to apply a voltage to the light emission layer when the first switch is in a closed state;
- an external surface being configured to transmit light emitted by the light emission layer toward a user;
- and
- a sensor comprising:
- a second switch;
- a sensor electrode;
- and
- an analog front end connected to the sensor electrode via the second switch, the sensor electrode being configured, when the second switch is in a closed state, to receive and provide to the analog front end a signal indicative of the presence of the user's finger or other element, wherein
- the sensor electrode overlaps the first display electrode and/or the second display electrode at least partially, wherein
- the sensor electrode is disposed between the light emission layer and the external surface;
- the light emission layer is disposed between the sensor electrode and the second switch;
- and
- the sensor electrode is electrically connected to the second switch of the sensor through an opening in the light emission layer.
