ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18072510 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a display layer, a display driver, a sensor layer, and a sensor driver. The sensor layer can output different signals based on the reference voltage used.
- The electronic device has a display layer that can show images.
- A display driver is included to control the display layer.
- A sensor layer is placed on top of the display layer.
- A sensor driver is used to control the sensor layer.
- The sensor layer can generate a first uplink signal using a first reference voltage in one mode.
- In a different mode, the sensor layer can generate a second uplink signal using a second reference voltage that is higher than the first reference voltage.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Touchscreen devices: The sensor layer can be used to detect touch inputs on the display layer, allowing for interactive touchscreen functionality.
- Gesture recognition: By analyzing the signals from the sensor layer, the device can recognize different gestures made on the display layer.
- Proximity sensing: The sensor layer can detect the proximity of objects to the display layer, enabling features like automatic screen dimming when the device is held close to the user's face.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved sensitivity: By using different reference voltages, the sensor layer can provide more accurate and sensitive touch or gesture recognition.
- Flexibility in operation: The ability to switch between different reference voltages allows the device to adapt to different modes or scenarios, enhancing its versatility.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced user experience: The improved sensitivity and flexibility in operation result in a more responsive and intuitive interaction with the device.
- Increased functionality: The ability to detect touch inputs, recognize gestures, and sense proximity expands the range of features and applications that can be implemented on the device.
- Improved accuracy: The use of different reference voltages allows for finer and more precise detection, leading to more accurate touch or gesture recognition.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes: a display layer configured to display an image; a display driver configured to drive the display layer; a sensor layer on the display layer; and a sensor driver configured to drive the sensor layer, and wherein the sensor layer is configured to output a first uplink signal generated with a first reference voltage in a first mode, and to output a second uplink signal generated with a second reference voltage greater than the first reference voltage in a second mode different from the first mode.
