Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for a driving apparatus including a reordering circuit and a source driving circuit. The reordering circuit can be configured to reorder a plurality of sub-pixel data of an input data string to generate a reordered data string so as to reduce a color switching number associated with a target data line. The source driving circuit can be coupled to the reordering circuit to receive the reordered data string. The source driving circuit can be configured to drive the target data line of a display panel according to the reordered data string.

Abstract: An imaging control circuit for collecting object image data for an object presented on a portion of a surface of a display panel is provided. The imaging control circuit includes a first circuit, a second circuit and a third circuit. The first circuit is adapted to receive touch sensing signals from a set of touch sensors located in the display panel. The second circuit is adapted to receive object image sensing signals from a set of imaging sensors. The object image sensing signals are associated with the object detected on the surface of the display panel. The third circuit is adapted to determine a location of the object from the touch sensing signals and generate a variable sized object imaging zone based on a location and a size of an object image. The variable sized object imaging zone includes a variable subset of the imaging sensors.

Abstract: An electronic circuit includes a fingerprint sensing circuit that is configured to receive fingerprint sensing signals corresponding to a fingerprint image from fingerprint sensors via fingerprint sensing lines. The fingerprint sensing circuit is further configured to select a subset of the fingerprint sensing lines to form a fingerprint sensing zone having at least one boundary and adapted for a fingerprint sensing operation based on a fingerprint touch area. The subset of fingerprint sensing lines is selected based on the at least one boundary of the fingerprint sensing zone. The fingerprint sensing circuit is further configured to generate the fingerprint image according to the fingerprint sensing signals by a remapping operation.

Abstract: A control circuit configured to control a display panel includes a display driver circuit, a touch sensing circuit and a fingerprint sensing circuit. The touch sensing circuit, coupled to the display driver circuit and the fingerprint sensing circuit, is configured to detect a finger touch on the display panel, determine a position of the display panel on which the finger touch is detected, and send information associated with the position to the fingerprint sensing circuit. The fingerprint sensing circuit is configured to perform fingerprint sensing on at least one zone corresponding to the position and receive fingerprint image signals from the at least one zone correspondingly.

Abstract: A chip, an electronic device, a panel and an operation method thereof are provided. The chip can control the panel to perform fingerprint sensing. Fingerprint sensing pixels of the panel are divided into a plurality of fingerprint zones along a column direction. The chip includes a selecting circuit and a control circuit. The selecting circuit obtains information about a selected fingerprint zone among the fingerprint zones. The control circuit provides multiple control signals for controlling the panel to perform fingerprint sensing. The control signals include multiple start pulse signals. The start pulse signals collectively indicate the selected fingerprint zone. The number of the fingerprint zones is greater than the number of the start pulse signals.

Abstract: An electronic circuit for driving a panel including touch sensors and fingerprint sensors is provided. The electronic circuit includes a touch sensing circuit, a fingerprint sensing circuit and a display driving circuit. The touch sensing circuit senses a touch of a finger and determines a first area corresponding to the touch on the panel. The fingerprint sensing circuit senses a fingerprint image of the finger corresponding to the first area of the panel. The display driving circuit drives pixels over the panel with respective first gray levels during a first phase, and drives pixels of the first area with respective second gray levels and pixels of a second area outside the first area with respective third gray levels during a second phase. The respective second gray levels are higher than the respective first gray levels, and the respective third gray levels are lower than the respective second gray levels.
