  • Publication number: 20230267762
    Abstract: An electronic circuit adapted to drive a display panel is provided. The electronic circuit includes a touch sensing circuit, a fingerprint sensing circuit and a display driving circuit. The touch sensing circuit senses a touch of a finger and determines a first area corresponding to the touch on the display panel. The fingerprint sensing circuit senses a fingerprint image of the finger corresponding to the first area. The display driving circuit drives pixels of the first area with respective first gray levels and pixels of a second area outside the first area with respective second gray levels. The display driving circuit processes respective third gray levels to obtain the respective first gray levels or the respective second gray levels. The display driving circuit generates gamma voltages corresponding to the respective first gray levels and the respective second gray levels according to a same gamma curve.

  • Patent number: 11270095
    Abstract: An electronic circuit for driving a panel including touch sensors and fingerprint sensors is provided. The electronic circuit includes a touch sensing circuit, a fingerprint sensing circuit and a display driving circuit. The touch sensing circuit senses a touch of a finger and determines a first area corresponding to the touch on the panel. The fingerprint sensing circuit senses a fingerprint image of the finger corresponding to the first area of the panel. The display driving circuit drives pixels over the panel with respective first gray levels during a first phase, and drives pixels of the first area with respective second gray levels and pixels of a second area outside the first area with respective third gray levels during a second phase. The respective second gray levels are higher than the respective first gray levels, and the respective third gray levels are lower than the respective second gray levels.

  • Publication number: 20190056810
    Abstract: A method of handling a plurality of sensing data includes generating a threshold code for the plurality of sensing data; comparing each of the plurality of sensing data with the threshold code to determine whether a data code of each of the plurality of sensing data is a valid data code or an invalid data code; filtering out at least one first sensing data which has the invalid data code among the plurality of sensing data; and generating a final data by averaging at least one second sensing data which has the valid data code among the plurality of sensing data.
