ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18499565 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an electronic device with a display layer and a sensor layer that can sense different types of inputs during specific periods within a frame.
- The electronic device has a display layer with pixels that operates in units of one frame, including a blank period and a data input period.
- A sensor layer is placed on the display layer and can detect both a first type of input and a second type of input that is different from the first type.
- The sensor layer is designed to sense these inputs during the blank period within a frame, and the second type of input is sensed more frequently than the first type within a single frame.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Integration of a sensor layer on top of a display layer in an electronic device.
- Ability to sense different types of inputs during specific periods within a frame.
- Increased sensitivity to the second type of input compared to the first type within a single frame.
Potential Applications:
- Touchscreen devices with enhanced input capabilities.
- Interactive displays for gaming or educational purposes.
- Biometric sensors for security applications.
Problems Solved:
- Enhancing input sensitivity and accuracy in electronic devices.
- Improving user interaction with touchscreen interfaces.
- Providing more versatile input options for various applications.
Benefits:
- Improved user experience with more responsive touchscreens.
- Enhanced security features with advanced biometric sensors.
- Increased functionality and versatility in electronic devices.
Commercial Applications: The technology could be utilized in smartphones, tablets, interactive kiosks, and other touch-enabled devices to enhance user interaction and provide more advanced input options. This innovation has the potential to revolutionize the way users interact with electronic devices, leading to improved user experiences and increased market competitiveness.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the sensor layer differentiate between the first type of input and the second type of input? 2. What are the specific technical requirements for implementing this technology in different types of electronic devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a display layer having pixels and configured to operate in units of one frame including a blank period and a data input period, and a sensor layer disposed on the display layer, and configured to sense a first type input and a second type input different from the first type input, wherein the sensor layer may be driven to sense the first type input and the second type input in the blank period, and, in one frame, a number of times that the second type input is sensed may be greater than a number of times that the first type input is sensed.
