Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus related to an ultrasonic receiver for detecting ultrasonic energy received at a first surface of the ultrasonic receiver. The ultrasonic receiver includes an array of pixel circuits disposed on a substrate, each pixel circuit in the array including at least one thin film transistor (TFT) element and having a pixel input electrode electrically coupled to the pixel circuit. The ultrasonic receiver is fabricated by forming a piezoelectric layer so as to be in electrical contact with the pixel input electrodes. Forming the piezoelectric layer includes coating a solution containing a polymer onto the array of pixel circuits, crystallizing the polymer to form a crystallized polymer layer and poling the crystallized polymer layer.

Claim (Index 16):
A method comprising:\n forming a piezoelectric layer by:\n coating a solution containing a polymer onto a first side of an array of pixel circuits; \n crystallizing the polymer to form a crystallized polymer layer; \n poling the crystallized polymer coating; and \n disposing an ultrasonic receiver between an ultrasonic transmitter and a platen, the ultrasonic receiver being configured to detect ultrasonic energy reflected from an object in contact with the platen, the reflected ultrasonic energy resulting from interaction of ultrasonic energy emitted by the ultrasonic transmitter and the object, the ultrasonic receiver including an array of pixel circuits disposed on a substrate; wherein\n the piezoelectric layer is disposed between the array of pixel circuits and the platen; \n each pixel circuit in the array includes a thin film transistor (TFT) element and has a pixel input electrode electrically coupled to the pixel circuit, and \n the piezoelectric layer is in electrical contact with the pixel input electrodes.
