SENSOR-IN-PIXEL DISPLAY SYSTEM WITH NEAR INFRARED FILTER
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A display system comprising:
- a cover panel;
a display panel including both multiple display pixels and multiple sensor elements configured to detect infrared light reflected from an object within a threshold distance of a display surface of the cover panel; and
a filter layer configured to increase, prior to detection of the infrared light by the multiple sensor elements, rejection of near infrared light from ambient lighting or reflected from the object.

Abstract
A display system includes both a cover panel and a display panel. The display panel includes multiple display pixels and multiple sensor elements configured to detect infrared light reflected from an object touching or close to the cover panel. The filter layer is configured to increase rejection of near infrared light reflected from the object prior to detection of the infrared light by the multiple sensor elements. The filter layer can be positioned in different locations, such as between the display panel and the cover panel, within the display panel, or within or on top of the cover panel.

16. A method implemented in a display system, the method comprising:
-
transmitting, from one or more infrared light sources, infrared light through a filter layer and a cover panel of the display system; and receiving, at one or more sensor elements in display pixels of a display panel of the display system, infrared light reflected from an object within a threshold distance of a display surface of the cover panel, the filter layer being configured to increase rejection of both near infrared light reflected from the object and near infrared ambient light prior to receiving the infrared light by the one or more sensor elements. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A method of generating a display system by a manufacturing system, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a cover panel; obtaining a display panel including both multiple display pixels and multiple sensor elements configured to detect infrared light reflected from an object within a threshold distance of the cover panel; obtaining a filter layer configured to reduce rejection of both viewable light and infrared light, and to increase rejection of near infrared light, the near infrared light having wavelengths between 680 nm and 810 nm, the filter layer comprising a blanket filter with all portions of the filter layer having approximately the same light absorption and reflection characteristics; and affixing, by the manufacturing system, the cover panel to the display panel with the filter layer positioned between the display panel and the cover panel.
