Abstract
The present invention describes methods and apparatuses for sensing touches and/or fingerprint images with an integrated touch-fingerprinting display comprising, a pattern of display pixels wherein said display pixels are controllable components of an electronic display, a pattern of fingerprint imaging cells, a display driver coupled with the display pixels wherein said display driver can control states of the display pixels, and a fingerprint readout circuit coupled with the fingerprint imaging cells. Furthermore, a computing apparatus can display a user interface on a touch-fingerprinting display, detect touches from a user, and then scan one or multiple fingerprint images from the user. In further embodiments, the computing apparatus can compute a biometric token based on the scanned fingerprint data and use the biometric token as identity proof to access a local resource or networked resource.
