  • Ultrasonic sensor with bonded piezoelectric layer
    Patent number: 10036734
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus related to an ultrasonic sensor for detecting ultrasonic energy. In some implementations, the ultrasonic sensor includes a piezoelectric receiver layer bonded with an adhesive to an array of pixel circuits disposed on a substrate, each pixel circuit in the array including at least one thin film transistor (TFT) element and having a pixel input electrode electrically coupled to the pixel circuit. Methods of forming ultrasonic sensors include bonding piezoelectric receiver layers to TFT arrays.

  • TEMPERATURE SENSOR USING ON-GLASS DIODES
    Publication number: 20160123817
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for measuring a temperature of a display. In one aspect, a circuit may use one or more stages of diodes or diode-connected transistors providing the functionality of diodes. Each stage may include the functionality of diodes in opposite directions. A direct current (DC) current source or an alternating current (AC) voltage source may be applied to the diodes or diode-connected transistors to measure the temperature of the display.
