Abstract
This paper reports on an integrative approach to a fingerprint sensor for an active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD). By redesigning the current driver hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film transistor (TFT) in the display pixel and making
it a dual-gate photosensitive TFT with a
$\pi $
-shape channel, a fingerprint-sensor-integrated display pixel can be enabled with a potentially high sensitivity through properly biasing the TFT into the subthreshold
region. We designed, fabricated and characterized the single-pixel TFT followed by the demonstration of a
${{4}} \times {{4}}$
sensor array along with capturing the first images.
