Abstract:
Some disclosed devices may include a display stack, a cover layer proximate a first side of the display stack and a segmented transducer array proximate a second side of the display stack. The segmented transducer array may include a plurality of separate transducer segments. Each of the separate transducer segments may include a piezoelectric layer and a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer. The separate transducer segments may include transmitter transducer segments and receiver transducer segments. In some examples, a spacing between at least a first plurality of the transmitter transducer segments may correspond to a display stack and cover layer oscillation mode frequency in a range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, from 15 kHz to 200 kHz or from 20 kHz to 400 kHz.
