A touch sensing apparatus is disclosed, comprising a light transmissive panel that defines a touch surface, an opposite rear surface, and panel sides extending between the touch surface and rear surface. The panel sides define a perimeter of the light transmissive panel. The touch sensing apparatus comprises a plurality of light emitters and detectors arranged along the perimeter and adjacent the panel sides, a light guide arranged along the perimeter and having a first reflective surface comprising a diffusive light scattering element. The light emitters are arranged to emit a respective beam of light onto the diffusive light scattering element so as to generate propagating light that diffusively propagates above the touch surface, wherein the light detectors are arranged to receive detection light generated as said propagating light impinges on the diffusive light scattering element, and wherein the diffusive light scattering element is arranged at least partly outside the panel sides and extending at least partly above the touch surface.

Systems and methods for optical imaging are disclosed. An optical sensor for imaging a biometric input object on a sensing region includes a transparent layer having a first side and a second side opposite the first side; a set of apertures disposed above the first side of the transparent layer; a first set of reflective surfaces disposed below the second side of the transparent layer configured to receive light transmitted through the first set of apertures and to reflect the received light; a second set of reflective surfaces disposed above the first side of the transparent layer configured to receive the light reflected from the first set of reflective surfaces and to further reflect the light; and a plurality of detector elements positioned to receive the further reflected light from the second set of reflective surfaces.

A method for detecting spoof fingerprints with an under-display fingerprint sensor includes illuminating, with incident light emitted from a display, a target region of a fingerprint sample disposed on a top surface of the display; detecting a first scattered signal from the fingerprint sample with a first image sensor region of an image sensor located beneath the display, the first image sensor region not directly beneath the target region, the first scattered signal including a first portion of the incident light scattered by the target region; determining a scattered light distribution based at least in part on the first scattered signal; and identifying spoof fingerprints based at least in part on the scattered light distribution.

An optical fingerprint sensor with spoof detection includes a plurality of lenses, an image sensor including a pixel array that includes a plurality of first photodiodes and a plurality of second photodiodes, and at least one apertured baffle-layer having a plurality of aperture stops, wherein each second photodiode is configured to detect light having passed through a lens and at least one aperture stop not aligned with the lens along an optical axis. A method for detecting spoof fingerprints detected using an optical fingerprint sensor includes detecting large-angle light incident on a plurality of anti-spoof photodiodes, wherein the plurality of anti-spoof photodiodes is interleaved with a plurality of imaging photodiodes, determining an angular distribution of light based at least in part one the large-angle light, and detecting spoof fingerprints based at least in part on the angular distribution of light.

A touch input display system includes a display device and a touch input device. The display device includes a display, a frame enclosing the display, and a light receiver that receives infrared light emitted from an external operation device. The touch input device has a touch inputter and a frame body that encloses the touch inputter. The touch input device is attached to the display such that the frame body overlaps on a front side of the frame. The frame body has an infrared light guide. The infrared light guide guides infrared light emitted from the external operation device to the light receiver.

An electronic device, comprising a display screen, an infrared sensor and a light blocking element, wherein the display screen comprises a display area and a non-display area. The infrared sensor comprises a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is located below the non-display area. The transmitter is used to emit infrared light. The receiver is used to receive the infrared light. The light blocking element is arranged between the transmitter and the display area, and the light blocking element is used to block the infrared light emitted by the transmitter from entering into the display area.

Disclosed herein are electronic devices having touch input surfaces. A user's touch input or press on the touch input surface is detected using a set of lasers, such as vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) that emit beams of light toward the touch input surface. The user's touch causes changes in the self-mixing interference within the VCSEL of the emitted light with reflected light, such as from the touch input surface. Deflection and movement (e.g., drag motion) of the user's touch is determined from detected changes in the VCSELs' operation due to the self-mixing interference.

An electronic device such as a pair of headphones may be provided with left and right speakers for playing audio to a user. Control circuitry in the electronic device may play audio through the speakers in an unreversed configuration in which left channel audio is played through a first of the speakers that is adjacent to a left ear of the user and right channel audio is played through a second of the speakers that is adjacent to a right ear of the user or a reversed configuration in which these channel assignments are reversed. The headphones may have ear cups that house the speakers. Capacitive touch sensors, force sensors, and other sensors on the ear cups may measure ear shapes and finger grip positions on the ear cups to determine whether to operate in the unreversed or reversed configuration. Sensors may gather gestures and other user touch input.
