  • Publication number: 20180005064
    Abstract: A prelam layer for use in forming a laminated card includes a flexible circuit substrate; a fingerprint sensor disposed on the flexible circuit substrate, the fingerprint sensor having upper and bottom surfaces, the bottom surface of the fingerprint sensor being disposed on the substrate, an active layer of the fingerprint sensor disposed towards the upper surface of the fingerprint sensor; a first integrated circuit chip disposed on the substrate and having at least one lead electrically connected to the flexible circuit substrate; and an adapter flexible circuit electrically bonded to the active layer of the fingerprint sensor. The integrated circuit chip is adapted to communicate with the fingerprint sensor through the adapter flexible circuit.

  • Patent number: 9279837
    Abstract: A sensor apparatus includes an array of active sensor elements arranged in columns and rows. Each sensor element is associated with a thin film access device disposed in a first current path through which an activation current is provided to activate the sensor element. Each sensor element is read through a respective second current path. The second current paths do not include the thin film access device of the first current path. As such, noise from the thin film access device is isolated from the second current paths.
