Abstract: A fan-out wafer level package includes a semiconductor die with a redistribution layer on a sidewall of the semiconductor die. A redistribution layer positioned over the die includes an extended portion that extends along the sidewall. The semiconductor die is encapsulated in a molding compound layer. The molding compound layer is positioned between the extended portion of the redistribution layer and the sidewall of the semiconductor die. Solder contacts, for electrically connecting the semiconductor device to an electronic circuit board, are positioned on the redistribution layer. The solder contacts and the sidewall of the redistribution layer can provide electrical contact on two different locations. Accordingly, the package can be used to improve interconnectivity by providing vertical and horizontal connections.

Abstract: A projector includes a first laser source projecting a first laser beam, a second laser source projecting a second laser beam at an angle with respect to the first laser beam, and a mirror reflecting the first and second laser beams. Circuitry controls the mirror to simultaneously reflect the first and second laser beams in a first scan pattern to form a first image having a number of scan lines greater than two times a horizontal resonance frequency of the mirror divided by a desired frame rate of the first image. The first laser beam forms a first angle of incidence with the mirror and the second laser beam forms a second angle of incidence with the mirror, the second angle of incidence being equal to the first angle of incidence summed with the angle of the second laser beam with respect to the first laser beam.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a laser projection system including a laser projector emitting a laser beam, a movable mirror apparatus reflecting the laser beam toward a surface, and a graphics processing unit (GPU). The GPU is configured to receive video data, estimate a varying speed of movement of the movable mirror apparatus for different positions of the laser beam across the surface, and process the video data based upon the estimated varying speed of movement. An application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) receives the processed video data, and to generate a beam position control signal based upon required or desired movement of the movable mirror apparatus. A laser driver controls the laser projector as a function of the processed video data, and a mirror controller controls the movable mirror apparatus as a function of the beam position control signal.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electronic device including a first laser source configured to project a first laser beam, and a second laser source configured to project a second laser beam in alignment with the first laser beam in a first direction but at an angle with respect to the first laser beam in a second direction. A mirror apparatus is positioned so as to reflect the first and second laser beams. Control circuitry is configured to control the mirror apparatus to simultaneously reflect the first and second laser beams in a first scan pattern to form an first image, the first image formed from the first scan pattern having a number of scan lines greater than two times a horizontal resonance frequency at which the mirror apparatus oscillates divided by a desired frame rate of the first image.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mirror controller for an oscillating mirror. The mirror controller includes a processor configured to receive a mirror sense signal from the oscillating mirror and to determine a phase error between the mirror sense signal and a mirror drive signal. The processor determines the phase error by sampling the mirror sense signal at a first time, sampling the mirror sense signal at a second time at which the mirror sense signal is expected to be equal to the mirror sense signal as sampled at the first time, and generating the phase error as a function of a difference between the sample of the mirror sense signal at the second time and the sample of the mirror sense signal at the first time.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for controlling operation of a resonance MEMS mirror. The system and method includes activating either an in-plane or staggered MEMS mirror via sets of activation pulses applied to the MEMS mirror, detecting current at the MEMS mirror, generating a window for detecting a change in a direction of the current at the MEMS mirror, and terminating the window and the activation pulse if a change in the current direction is detected during the window. In some embodiments, two sets of activation pulses are applied to the MEMS mirror.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a circuit for determining failure of a movable MEMS mirror. The circuit includes an integrator receiving an opening angle signal representing an opening angle of the movable MEMS mirror, and a differentiator receiving the opening angle signal. A summing circuit is configured to sum the integrator output and the differentiator output. A comparison circuit is configured to determine whether the sum of the integrator output and differentiator output is not within a threshold window. An indicator circuit is configured to generate an indicator signal indicating that the movable MEMS mirror has failed based on the comparison circuit indicating that the sum of the integrator output and differentiator output is not within the threshold window.
