OPTICAL FILTERED SENSOR-IN-PIXEL TECHNOLOGY FOR TOUCH SENSING

摘要

Optical filtered sensor-in-pixel technology for touch sensing, in which a waveguide receives infrared light emitted by a light source and causes at least some of the received infrared light to undergo total internal reflection within the waveguide. A frustrating layer is disposed relative to the waveguide so as to contact the waveguide when a touch input is provided. The frustrating layer causes frustration of the total internal reflection of the received infrared light within the waveguide at a contact point between the frustrating layer and the waveguide. A sensor-in-pixel display displays an image that is perceivable through the waveguide and the frustrating layer and includes photosensors. The photosensors have a photosensor corresponding to each pixel of the image and sense at least some of the infrared light that escapes from the waveguide at the contact point.
