Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for ultrasonic fingerprint sensors that are able to be used to detect fingerprints from opposing sides of an apparatus, e.g., a smartphone with screens on both sides of the housing. Some implementations of such sensors may include, for example, two piezoelectric and sensor pixel layer assemblies coupled to a common controller. Other implementations of such sensors may include, for example, a single piezoelectric and sensor pixel assembly coupled with a controller configured to apply a range-gate delay to obtain fingerprint scans from either opposing side of an apparatus. Yet further implementations of such sensors may include acoustic masking layers to spatially filter ultrasonic waves propagating to either side of an apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus may include an ultrasonic sensor stack, a foldable display stack and a transmission enhancement layer. The foldable display stack may include a display stiffener and display stack layers. The display stack layers may form one or more display stack resonators configured to enhance ultrasonic waves transmitted by the ultrasonic sensor stack in a first ultrasonic frequency range. In some implementations, a transmission enhancement resonator may include the display stiffener and the transmission enhancement layer. In some examples, the transmission enhancement resonator may include at least a portion of the ultrasonic sensor stack. The transmission enhancement resonator may be configured to enhance the ultrasonic waves transmitted by the ultrasonic sensor stack in the first ultrasonic frequency range.

Abstract: A mobile device includes one or more piezoelectric polymer layers underlying a display. The one or more piezoelectric polymer layers may be electrically driven to operate in either a d33 stretching mode or a d31 bending mode. The mobile device functions as an ultrasonic sensor in the d33 stretching mode and as an audio speaker/microphone or a proximity sensor in the d31 bending mode. The piezoelectric polymer layer operating in the d31 bending mode may be directly mechanically coupled to a display, indirectly mechanically coupled to the display and underlying an ultrasonic sensor stack, or integrated in the ultrasonic sensor stack. Signal performance of the piezoelectric polymer layer operating in the d31 bending mode may be enhanced or modulated by having a larger area, multiple layers, bi-pole or uni-pole driving with multiple layers, one or more stiff adhesives, a spacer layer, one or more mass features, a thin TFT layer, a thick piezoelectric polymer layer, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: A device and method for improved sensing with a biometric sensor assembly such as an ultrasound fingerprint sensor using an anti-fingerprint, oleophobic, or hydrophobic coating applied to a surface above the biometric sensor assembly. The coating improves the mechanical coupling of a human finger to the surface, helping to reduce acoustic loss through the finger to surface interface, improving at least the false-rejection ratio.

Abstract: Some disclosed examples involve controlling a light-steering system to direct light emitted by at least a first light source of a light source system to a first plurality of areas of a target object, wherein controlling the light-steering system involves controlling one or more adjustable micromirrors, one or more adjustable lenses, one or more adjustable diffraction gratings, or combinations thereof. Some examples involve receiving ultrasonic receiver signals from an ultrasonic receiver system corresponding to photoacoustic responses of the target object to light provided the light source system to each area of the first plurality of areas and determining a selected area of the target object from which additional ultrasonic receiver signals will be obtained, wherein determining the selected area involves detecting a blood vessel within the target object. Some examples involve controlling the light source system to obtain additional ultrasonic receiver signals from the selected area.

Abstract: Some disclosed examples involve controlling, by a control system, a light source system to provide light to a target object on an outer surface of a platen and receiving, by the control system, ultrasonic receiver signals from each of a plurality of ultrasonic receiver elements in an array of ultrasonic receiver elements. The ultrasonic receiver signals may correspond to ultrasonic waves generated by the target object responsive to the light from the light source system. Some disclosed examples involve applying, by the control system, a receiver-side beamforming process to the ultrasonic receiver signals, to produce a beamformed ultrasonic receiver image and detecting, by the control system, a blood vessel within the targe object based, at least in part, on the beamformed ultrasonic receiver image.
