DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF DRIVING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240203156 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF DRIVING THE SAME
The abstract describes a display device with a display panel containing a pixel and a sensor. The pixel includes a pixel driving circuit and an emission element, while the sensor includes a sensor driving circuit and a sensing element. A driving circuit operates the display panel, and the sensor can switch between detecting fingerprints and detecting illumination.
- The display device integrates a sensor for fingerprint detection and illumination detection within the display panel.
- The sensor can operate in two modes: fingerprint detection mode and illumination detection mode.
- The pixel driving circuit and sensor driving circuit work in conjunction to enable the sensor to function effectively.
- The device includes a driving circuit that controls the overall operation of the display panel.
- The innovation allows for seamless integration of sensor technology into display devices for enhanced functionality.
Potential Applications: - Enhanced security features in display devices. - Improved user authentication methods. - Adaptive display brightness based on ambient lighting conditions.
Problems Solved: - Addressing the need for secure biometric authentication in display devices. - Providing automatic adjustment of display brightness for optimal viewing experience.
Benefits: - Increased security through fingerprint detection. - Enhanced user experience with automatic brightness adjustment. - Streamlined integration of sensor technology into display panels.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Security Display Devices for Biometric Authentication" This technology can be utilized in smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices requiring secure user authentication methods. The market implications include improved data security and user experience, potentially leading to increased consumer trust and demand for such devices.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the sensor switch between fingerprint detection mode and illumination detection mode? 2. What are the potential challenges in integrating sensor technology into display panels?
Original Abstract Submitted
a display device includes a display panel that includes a pixel and a sensor. the pixel includes a pixel driving circuit and an emission element. the sensor includes a sensor driving circuit and a sensing element. the display device also includes a driving circuit that drives the display panel. the sensor selectively operates in a first mode in which a fingerprint is detected and in a second mode in which illumination is detected.
