Abstract:
A module assembly for the detection of X-ray radiation includes an X-ray sensor being configured to receive a photon of the X-ray radiation and to provide an electrical signal in response to the received photon. The module assembly further includes a system-in-package structure for processing the electrical signal, the system-in-package structure including an input/output terminal, a first interposer and a second interposer and an integrated circuit which are arranged in a stacked configuration in the system-in-package structure. The package structure can be assembled on all four lateral sides and is thus four-side buttable so that contiguous modules can be mounted on all four sides without a gap between pixels to read out data from large-pixelated detectors of the X-ray sensor.
Abstract:
An apparatus comprises a display screen, and an optical sensor module which is disposed behind the display screen. The optical sensor module further comprises a light emitter operable to generate light having a wavelength for transmission through the display screen toward a target object. A light sensor is operable to sense light reflected by the target object and having the wavelength. A reducer is arranged for reducing the optical power density by increasing a diameter of a light beam generated by the light emitter on the display screen, wherein the reducer is disposed between the light emitter and the display screen so as to intersect the light beam generated by the light emitter.

Abstract:
A circuit for sensing radiation with high sensitivity is disclosed. The circuit comprises a first transistor configurable to reset a voltage-level at a circuit node to a voltage reference. The circuit also comprises measurement circuitry configured to measure the voltage-level at the circuit node, and at least one photodiode configured to vary the voltage-level at the circuit node in response to radiation incident upon the photodiode during an integration period. The circuit also comprises processing circuitry configured to control the first transistor to reset the voltage-level at the circuit node and to subsequently configure the measurement circuitry to measure the voltage-level at a start and at an end of the integration period.
