Abstract:
Embodiments herein provide a dual optical and capacitance sensor. During a first time period, the dual sensor uses optical sensing to capture a fingerprint (e.g., to identify or verify the fingerprint). During a second time period, the dual sensor uses one or more capacitive sensor electrodes to perform capacitive sensing. The capacitive sensing may be absolute capacitive sensing or transcapacitive sensing.

Claim (Index 1):
An input device, comprising:\n a dual optical and capacitance sensor comprising: a photosensor; a switch electrically coupled between the photosensor and a data line; and a capacitive sensing layer comprising an array of sensor electrodes, wherein a first sensor electrode in the array is electrically coupled to the photosensor; and a processing system configured to: drive a constant voltage on the first sensor electrode when performing optical sensing; and drive an alternating current (AC) signal on the first sensor electrode when performing capacitive sensing.
