DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240231553 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS
The patent application describes a display apparatus with a touch panel that can measure biometric information in addition to normal touch functions.
- Touch panel includes first electrodes in one direction and second electrodes overlapping them in another direction.
- Touch driver can operate in normal mode and biometric information measurement mode.
- In normal mode, the touch driver applies a transmission signal to the first electrodes in groups of n electrodes.
- In biometric information measurement mode, the touch driver applies the transmission signal in groups of q electrodes, where q is greater than n.
Potential Applications: - Biometric authentication in devices such as smartphones and tablets. - Enhanced security features for access control systems. - Personalized user interfaces based on biometric data.
Problems Solved: - Improving user authentication processes. - Enhancing security measures in touch-enabled devices. - Providing additional functionality to touch panels.
Benefits: - Increased security through biometric authentication. - Seamless integration of biometric sensors into existing touch panels. - Customized user experiences based on biometric data.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Biometric Touch Panel Technology for Secure Access Control Systems" This technology can be utilized in smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other touch-enabled devices to enhance security measures and provide personalized user experiences. Market implications include increased demand for secure authentication solutions in various industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the touch panel measure biometric information? - The touch panel measures biometric information by applying a transmission signal to specific groups of electrodes and analyzing the response to gather biometric data. 2. What are the advantages of integrating biometric authentication into touch panels? - Integrating biometric authentication into touch panels enhances security by adding an additional layer of personalized verification, making it harder for unauthorized users to access devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
a display apparatus includes a touch panel including a plurality of electrodes and a touch driver. the touch panel includes first electrodes extending in a first direction and second electrodes extending in a second direction and overlapping the first electrodes. the touch driver is configured to drive the touch panel in a normal mode and a biometric information measurement mode. the touch driver is configured to sequentially apply a transmission signal to the first electrodes by shifting the transmission signal at each group of n electrodes (where n is a positive integer) in the normal mode, and to sequentially apply the transmission signal to the first electrodes by shifting the transmission signal at each group of q electrodes (where q is a positive integer greater than n) in the biometric information measurement mode.
