    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an ultrasonic imaging method and apparatus. The apparatus includes an ultrasonic signal emission source and a receiving array including ultrasonic signal receiving circuits; the method includes: turning on the source to perform emission of ultrasonic waves toward an object to be detected and causing the ultrasonic waves to propagate through the object, a depth-wise direction of which is along a propagation direction of the ultrasonic waves; after a first predetermined time period having elapsed since the source was turned on, turning on the receiving array to receive reflected echoes returning from a first section plane of the object to be detected perpendicular to the depth-wise direction; thereafter, turning off the receiving array, storing the reflected echoes by the ultrasonic signal receiving circuits and acquiring reflected echo signals, and successively reading the reflected echo signals from the ultrasonic signal receiving circuits during a reading time period.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a fingerprint sensing sub-circuit, a fingerprint sensing circuit, a fingerprint recognition method, a sensor, a touch display panel and a display device. The fingerprint sensing sub-circuit includes an acoustic wave generation circuit and an acoustic wave reception circuit. The acoustic wave generation circuit is configured to generate an ultrasonic wave. The acoustic wave reception circuit is configured to collect a voltage signal, convert the voltage signal into a current signal, and output the current signal to a signal output end. The acoustic wave generation circuit and the acoustic wave reception circuit are separated from each other, so that the fingerprint sensing sub-circuit operates in a mode where a transmitting operation and a receiving operation are separated from each other.
