ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240338095 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF
The abstract describes an electronic device with a display layer containing pixels, a sensor layer with first and second electrodes, a display driver, and a sensor driver that operates in different modes for proximity sensing.
- The electronic device has a display layer with pixels and a sensor layer with electrodes.
- A display driver controls the display layer, while a sensor driver controls the sensor layer for proximity sensing.
- The sensor driver operates in different modes during proximity sensing, such as a first mode and a second mode.
- The display layer has active and blank periods for receiving data, while the sensor driver operates in the second mode during the blank period.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in smartphones, tablets, and other touch-sensitive devices. - It can enhance user experience by improving proximity sensing capabilities.
Problems Solved: - Provides efficient proximity sensing functionality. - Enhances the overall performance of electronic devices.
Benefits: - Improved user interaction with touch-sensitive devices. - Enhanced accuracy and responsiveness in proximity sensing.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be applied in the consumer electronics industry for the development of advanced touch-sensitive devices.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve user experience with touch-sensitive devices? 2. What are the potential commercial implications of implementing this technology in electronic devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed is an electronic device which include a display layer that includes a plurality of pixels, a sensor layer disposed on the display layer and includes a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes, a display driver that drives the display layer, and a sensor driver that drives the sensor layer and selectively operates, in a proximity sensing mode, in a first mode or a second mode different from the first mode. when the electronic device enters the proximity sensing mode, the display layer operates in an active period during which data are received from the display driver and a blank period during which the data are not received. the sensor driver operates in the second mode in a period overlapping the blank period.
