The display device 100 includes a protection panel 110, an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display module 120, and an ultrasonic sensing module 130. The OLED display module 120 is sandwiched between the protection panel (Cover Lens ) 110 and the ultrasonic sensing module 130. In order to make the drawing concise and easy to explain, other elements and connection relationships in the display device 100 are not shown in the first figure.

第2圖為依據本揭示文件一實施例的顯示裝置200簡化後的功能方塊圖。顯示裝置200相似於第1圖的顯示裝置100,差異在於顯示裝置200的超音波感測模組130的寬度W1,小於OLED顯示模組120的寬度W2。因此,相較於顯示裝置100,顯示裝置200具有額外的內部空間,得以增加硬體架構設計上的彈性。 FIG. 2 is a simplified functional block diagram of the display device 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The display device 200 is similar to the display device 100 in FIG. 1. The difference is that the width W1 of the ultrasonic sensor module 130 of the display device 200 is smaller than the width W2 of the OLED display module 120.

Each current detection circuit 324 is coupled to a part of the ultrasonic pixel circuits 312 (for example, coupled to a row of ultrasonic pixel circuits 312) to receive corresponding sensing results. As shown in FIG. 3, the current detection circuit 324 includes an amplifier, and also includes a capacitor and a switch connected in parallel between the output terminal of the amplifier and one of the input terminals.

For example, P-type thin film transistor or P-type metal oxide half field effect transistor.

在一實施例中,第4圖的超音波畫素電路400和超音波傳感器PM,分別可用於實現第3圖的超音波畫素電路312和超音波傳感器PM。在此情況下,感測資料線Lse是耦接於第3圖中的一行超音波畫素電路312和對應的一個電流檢測電路324。超音波畫素電路400(亦即,超音波畫素電路312)可將感測電流Ise作為感測結果,透過感測資料線Lse輸出至電流檢測電路324。 In one embodiment, the ultrasonic pixel circuit 400 and the ultrasonic sensor PM in FIG. 4 can be used to implement the ultrasonic pixel circuit 312 and the ultrasonic sensor PM in FIG. 3, respectively. In this case, the sensing data line Lse is coupled to a row of ultrasonic pixel circuits 312 and a corresponding current detection circuit 324 in FIG. 3. The ultrasonic pixel circuit 400 (ie, the ultrasonic pixel circuit 312) can use the sensing current Ise as a sensing result and output it to the current detection circuit 324 through the sensing data line Lse.

第5圖為第4圖的超音波畫素電路400的多個控制訊號與節點電壓的波形示意圖。第6A至6C圖為第4圖的超音波畫素電路400在不同運作階段中的等效電路操作示意圖。 FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of waveforms of multiple control signals and node voltages of the ultrasonic pixel circuit 400 of FIG. 4. FIGS. 6A to 6C are schematic diagrams of equivalent circuit operations of the ultrasonic pixel circuit 400 of FIG. 4 in different operation stages.

請參照第5圖和第6A圖,在重置階段P1中,重置控制訊號Sint具有邏輯高準位(例如,低電壓準位),輸出 控制訊號Sread具有邏輯低準位(例如,高電壓準位),且驅動電壓Vbias具有震盪波形。因此,第一開關T1和第二開關T2會導通,以將第一節點N1和第二節點N2的電壓維持於第一參考電壓Vint1,進而關斷峰值檢測元件DI。輸出開關To會關斷,且超音波傳感器PM會產生超音波。 Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6A. In the reset phase P1, the reset control signal Sint has a logic high level (for example, a low voltage level), and outputs The control signal Sread has a logic low level (for example, a high voltage level), and the driving voltage Vbias has an oscillating waveform. Therefore, the first switch T1 and the second switch T2 are turned on to maintain the voltages of the first node N1 and the second node N2 at the first reference voltage Vint1, thereby turning off the peak detection element DI. The output switch To is turned off, and the ultrasonic sensor PM generates ultrasonic waves.

請參照第5圖和第6B圖,在感測階段P2中,重置控制訊號Sint和輸出控制訊號Sread都具有邏輯低準位,且驅動電壓Vbias維持於固定準位。因此,第一開關T1、第二開關T2、以及輸出開關To會關斷。當超音波傳感器PM接收到反射的超音波而震動時,第二節點N2的電壓會具有對應的震盪波形。若第二節點N2的電壓高於一預設準位Vp,峰值檢測元件DI會導通而將第二節點N2的電荷傳遞至第一節點N1。 Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6B, in the sensing phase P2, the reset control signal Sint and the output control signal Sread both have a logic low level, and the driving voltage Vbias is maintained at a fixed level. Therefore, the first switch T1, the second switch T2, and the output switch To are turned off. When the ultrasonic sensor PM receives the reflected ultrasonic wave and vibrates, the voltage of the second node N2 will have a corresponding oscillating waveform. If the voltage of the second node N2 is higher than a predetermined level Vp, the peak detection element DI will be turned on to transfer the charge of the second node N2 to the first node N1.

換言之,第一節點N1在感測階段P2中所獲得的電荷量,會對應於超音波傳感器PM的震動強度和頻率等等因素。 In other words, the amount of charge obtained by the first node N1 in the sensing phase P2 will correspond to factors such as the vibration intensity and frequency of the ultrasonic sensor PM.

請參照第5圖和第6C圖,在輸出階段P3中,重置控制訊號Sint具有邏輯低準位,輸出控制訊號Sread具有邏輯高準位,且驅動電壓Vbias維持於固定準位。因此,第一開關T1和第二開關T2會關斷,而輸出開關To會導通。由於驅動電晶體Tr工作於飽和區,驅動電晶體Tr會提供感測電流Ise,且感測電流Ise的大小會對應於第一節點N1的電壓。感測電流Ise會經由輸出開關To輸出至感測資料線Lse。 Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6C, in the output stage P3, the reset control signal Sint has a logic low level, the output control signal Sread has a logic high level, and the driving voltage Vbias is maintained at a fixed level. Therefore, the first switch T1 and the second switch T2 are turned off, and the output switch To is turned on. Since the driving transistor Tr works in the saturation region, the driving transistor Tr will provide the sensing current Ise, and the magnitude of the sensing current Ise will correspond to the voltage of the first node N1. The sensing current Ise is output to the sensing data line Lse through the output switch To.

第7圖為依據本揭示文件一實施例的超音波畫 素電路700的功能方塊圖。第7圖的超音波畫素電路700相似於第4圖的超音波畫素電路400,差異在於,超音波畫素電路700的峰值檢測元件DI的耦接方向相反於超音波畫素電路400的峰值檢測元件DI。例如,在超音波畫素電路700的峰值檢測元件DI是以二極體來實現的一實施例中,超音波畫素電路700的峰值檢測元件DI是以陽極端耦接於第一節點N1,並以陰極端耦接於第二節點N2。 Figure 7 is an ultrasound picture according to an embodiment of the present disclosure The functional block diagram of the pixel circuit 700.

於感測階段P2中,若第二節點N2的電壓低於另一預設準位,超音波畫素電路700的峰值檢測元件DI會導通,進而將第一節點N1的電荷傳遞至第二節點N2。 In the sensing phase P2, if the voltage of the second node N2 is lower than another preset level, the peak detection element DI of the ultrasonic pixel circuit 700 will be turned on, and the charge of the first node N1 is transferred to the second node N2.

第8圖為依據本揭示文件一實施例的超音波畫素電路800的功能方塊圖。第8圖的超音波畫素電路800相似於第4圖的超音波畫素電路400,差異在於,超音波畫素電路800的第一開關T1的第二端耦接於第二節點N2(亦即,第二開關T2的第一端)。 FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram of an ultrasonic pixel circuit 800 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The ultrasonic pixel circuit 900 in Figure 9 is similar to the ultrasonic pixel circuit 400 in Figure 4, except that the second end of the second switch T2 of the ultrasonic pixel circuit 900 is coupled to the first node N1 (also That is, the first end of the first switch T1).

第10圖為依據本揭示文件一實施例的超音波畫素電路1000的功能方塊圖。第10圖的超音波畫素電路1000相似於第4圖的超音波畫素電路400,差異在於,超音波畫素電路1000的第一開關T1的第二端用於接收第一參 考電壓Vint1,超音波畫素電路1000的第二開關T2的第二端用於接收第二參考電壓Vint2,且第一參考電壓Vint1不同於第二參考電壓Vint2。在一實施例中,第一參考電壓Vint1低於第二參考電壓Vint2。 FIG. 10 is a functional block diagram of an ultrasonic pixel circuit 1000 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The ultrasonic pixel circuit 1000 in Figure 10 is similar to the ultrasonic pixel circuit 400 in Figure 4, except that the second end of the first switch T1 of the ultrasonic pixel circuit 1000 is used to receive the first parameter. Taking the test voltage Vint1, the second terminal of the second switch T2 of the ultrasonic pixel circuit 1000 is used to receive the second reference voltage Vint2, and the first reference voltage Vint1 is different from the second reference voltage Vint2. In an embodiment, the first reference voltage Vint1 is lower than the second reference voltage Vint2.

由上述可知,上述的多個實施例中的顯示裝置和超音波畫素電路具有精簡的電路架構,因而能達成高解析度的指紋、手勢、或觸控偵測,並降低製造複雜度。 It can be seen from the above that the display device and the ultrasonic pixel circuit in the above-mentioned multiple embodiments have a simplified circuit structure, and thus can achieve high-resolution fingerprint, gesture, or touch detection, and reduce manufacturing complexity.

因此,在系統電壓VDD被設置為約4~6V且感測資料線Lse的電壓被合理地設置為約1.4V的情況下,驅動電晶體Tr便可以工作於飽和區,進而輸出對應於第一節點N1的電壓之驅動電流Ise。 Therefore, when the system voltage VDD is set to about 4~6V and the voltage of the sensing data line Lse is reasonably set to about 1.4V, the driving transistor Tr can work in the saturation region, and the output corresponding to the first The driving current Ise of the voltage of the node N1.

In some embodiments, the system voltage VDD in Figures 4 and 7 to 10 is lower than the voltage of the sensing data line Lse, so that the driving transistor Tr will draw the sensing current Ise from the sensing data line Lse in the output stage P3. .

在另外一些實施例中,第4、7~10圖的第一開關T1和第二開關T2可以用N型電晶體來實現,且重置控制訊號Sint會對應地具有與第5圖反相的波形。另外,輸出開關To也可以用N型電晶體來實現,且輸出控制訊號Sread會對應地具有與第5圖反相的波形。 In other embodiments, the first switch T1 and the second switch T2 in Figs. 4 and 7 to 10 can be implemented by N-type transistors, and the reset control signal Sint will have the opposite phase to that of Fig. 5.
