Patent Images

1. ) An apparatus for displaying and sensing images, comprising:

  • a) a display substrate having a display area on a device side of the display substrate;

    b) a plurality of pixels located in the display area on the device side of the display substrate, each pixel including a control electrode, a transparent electrode spaced apart from the control electrode, and at least one layer of light-emitting material located between the control electrode and the transparent electrode;

    c) a plurality of pixel control chiplets, each pixel control chiplet associated with at least one pixel and having a chiplet substrate independent of the display substrate located over, and affixed to, the device side of the display substrate in the display area, each pixel control chiplet having at least one connection pad and at least one pixel control circuit;

    d) wherein each pixel control circuit is electrically connected to the control electrode of the associated pixel(s) through one of the connection pads for driving the control electrode to cause the light-emitting material to emit light through the transparent electrode;

    e) one or more sensor chiplets, each sensor chiplet having a chiplet substrate independent of the display substrate located over, and affixed to, the device side of the display substrate in the display area, each sensor chiplet having at least one connection pad and an image sensor array for sensing an image and forming a sensed image signal; and

    f) a transparent cover spaced apart from and affixed to the device side of the display substrate having a plurality of imaging lenses formed on or in the transparent cover, each imaging lens spaced apart from and corresponding to an image sensor array for forming an imaging plane on the corresponding image sensor array.
