[0110] In order to more clearly illustrate the present invention, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings. Similar components in the accompanying drawings are represented by the same reference numerals. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the following detailed description is illustrative rather than restrictive and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0111] It should be noted that the terms “on…”, “formed on…” and “disposed on…” herein may indicate that one layer is directly formed or disposed on another layer, or may indicate that one layer is indirectly formed or disposed on another layer, i.e., there are other layers between the two layers. In this article, unless otherwise specified, the term “located on the same layer” means that two layers, parts, components, elements or parts can be formed by the same patterning process, and that the two layers, parts, components, elements or parts are generally formed of the same material. In this article, unless otherwise specified, the expression “patterning process” generally includes steps such as coating, exposure, development, etching, and stripping of the photoresist. The expression “one-time patterning process” means a process of forming patterned layers, parts, components, etc. using a mask.
[0112] Currently, the market demand for ultrasonic sensors is significant. Consulting firms predict that demand will grow by 5% over the next five years, with the medical sector accounting for the largest share of demand. Currently, ultrasonic sensors are implemented in three main ways: PMUT (micro piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers), CMUT (micro capacitive ultrasonic transducers), and sandwich piezoelectric sensor structures. Ultrasonic imaging, such as medical imaging and fingerprint recognition, typically uses an ultrasonic frequency band of approximately 5-10 MHz.
[0113] Since both micro piezoelectric ultrasonic sensors PMUT and micro capacitive ultrasonic sensors CMUT require the preparation of cavity structures for resonance and the processing technology is relatively difficult, the sandwich piezoelectric ultrasonic sensing structure has always been the mainstream direction of the ultrasonic sensor market.
[0114] The primary piezoelectric material used in current sandwich ultrasonic sensors is piezoelectric ceramics. While these materials have high dielectric constants and piezoelectric constants, they require high processing temperatures, requiring sintering and grinding at 600-800°C. Organic PVDF polymers, on the other hand, have a piezoelectric constant of 22pC / N and can be formed into films over large areas, making them easy to manufacture into large-scale ultrasonic sensors. However, existing piezoelectric ultrasonic sensors suffer from small imaging areas and fuzzy image quality.
[0115] In response to the above situation, the inventors have proposed through extensive research and experiments that the reason for the shortcomings of piezoelectric ultrasonic sensor devices is that the ultrasonic signals received by the ultrasonic sensor devices are weak, and the quality of the final imaging processed by the sensor is poor.
[0116] According to the above problems and the causes of the problems, such as Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an ultrasonic detection module, comprising a detection circuit and an ultrasonic sensor stacked sequentially on a substrate, wherein:
[0117] The ultrasonic sensor is configured to transmit ultrasonic waves, receive reflected ultrasonic waves, and output a first electrical signal;
[0118] The detection circuit includes a reset unit, a transmission holding unit, a storage unit, and a reading unit, wherein the detection circuit receives the first electrical signal in response to a reset control signal received by the reset unit and a transmission holding control signal received by the transmission holding unit, stores the first electrical signal through the transmission holding unit and holds it in the storage unit for a preset time, and reads the second electrical signal output by the transmission holding unit in response to a read control signal received by the reading unit;
[0119] The reset unit, storage unit and reading unit are low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistors, and the transmission holding unit is a metal oxide thin film transistor.
[0120] This embodiment uses a detection circuit to detect the first electrical signal output by the ultrasonic sensor, and ensures that the first electrical signal is stored and maintained in the storage unit according to a preset time by using a transmission holding unit formed by a metal oxide thin film transistor, that is, the small leakage current characteristic of the metal oxide thin film transistor is used to keep the first electrical signal stably stored in the storage unit, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the ultrasonic detection module, especially the detection accuracy and stability of large-area, high-pixel-density ultrasonic detection modules, thereby compensating for the problems existing in the existing technology and having broad application prospects.
[0121] In a specific example, Figure 2 The figure shows a circuit diagram of an ultrasonic detection module, wherein the reset unit T1, the transmission holding unit T2, the storage unit T3 and the reading unit T4 each include a first end, a second end and a control end;
[0122] The first end of the reset unit T1 and the first end of the transmission holding unit T2 are connected to the first node N1, the second end of the reset unit T2 is connected to the reset voltage Reset, the control end of the reset unit T2 is connected to the reset control signal, and the reset unit T2 sets the first node N1 to the reset voltage in response to the reset control signal;
[0123] The first end of the transmission holding unit T2 and the first end of the ultrasonic sensor PVDF are connected to the first node N1, the second end of the transmission holding unit T2 is connected to the control end of the storage unit T3, the control end of the transmission holding unit T2 is connected to the transmission holding control signal, and under the control of the reset control signal, the transmission holding unit T2 transmits the first electrical signal output from the first end of the ultrasonic sensor PVDF from the first end of the transmission holding unit T2 to the second end of the transmission holding unit T2 so as to transmit it to the control end of the storage unit T3;
[0124] The first end of the storage unit T3 is connected to the first power signal AP, the second end of the storage unit T3 is connected to the first end of the reading unit T4, and the storage unit T3 amplifies the first electrical signal and outputs the second electrical signal;
[0125] The second end of the reading unit T4 is connected to the reading line Dn, the control end of the reading unit T4 is connected to the reading control signal, and the reading unit T4 transmits the second electrical signal from the first end of the reading unit T4 to the second end of the reading unit T4 in response to the reading control signal.
[0126] like Figure 3 The following is a timing diagram of this embodiment. The working process of the ultrasonic detection module is as follows:
[0127] In the transmitting phase t0-t1, the detection circuit sets the first terminal of the ultrasonic sensor PVDF to the reset voltage Reset in response to the reset control signal received by the reset unit T1, and the ultrasonic sensor PVDF transmits ultrasonic waves according to the input signal inputted at its second terminal.
[0128] In this embodiment, in the transmission stage, the reset control signal and the transmission hold control signal are valid signals, the reset unit T1 and the transmission hold unit T2 are closed, the reset voltage Reset is at a low level, the first node N1 is the reset voltage, the control end of the storage unit T3 is the reset voltage, and the ultrasonic sensor PVDF transmits ultrasonic waves according to the received input signal.
[0129] In the reading phase t1-t4, the detection circuit responds to the reset control signal received by the reset unit and the transmission and holding control signal received by the transmission and holding unit, the ultrasonic sensor receives the reflected ultrasonic wave, the first end of the ultrasonic sensor outputs a first electrical signal, the first electrical signal is stored by the transmission and holding unit and is held in the storage unit for a preset time, and the second electrical signal output by the storage unit is read in response to the read control signal received by the reading unit.
[0130] In this embodiment, the reading phase is further divided into the following phases:
[0131] In the receiving sampling phase t1-t2, the reset control signal is an invalid signal, the reset unit T1 is disconnected, the transmission holding control signal is a valid signal, the transmission holding unit T2 is turned on, the ultrasonic sensor PVDF receives the reflected ultrasonic wave and outputs a first electrical signal, and the control end of the storage unit T3 is charged according to the received first electrical signal. When the threshold voltage of the storage unit T3 is met, the storage unit T3 is closed.
[0132] During the hold phase t2-t3, the ultrasonic sensor stops receiving the reflected ultrasonic wave and ceases to output the first electrical signal. The reset control signal and the transmission hold control signal are inactive, and reset unit T1 and transmission hold unit T2 are disconnected. Because transmission hold unit T2 is a metal oxide thin film transistor with low leakage current, it maintains the control terminal of storage unit T3, effectively storing and retaining the first electrical signal in the storage unit for a predetermined period of time.
[0133] During the readout phase t3-t4, the reset control signal and the transmission hold control signal are inactive, reset unit T1 is disconnected, and transmission hold unit T2 is disconnected. The control terminal of storage unit T3 holds the first electrical signal, and storage unit T3 is closed. The readout control signal is active, and readout unit T4 is closed, reading the second electrical signal output by the storage unit to readout line Dn. It is worth noting that storage unit T3 operates in an amplification state, amplifying the first electrical signal and outputting a second electrical signal. Readout unit T4 then reads the second electrical signal.

[0184] In this embodiment, considering that ultrasound waves are emitted and transmitted when propagating between two materials, and the ratio of ultrasound reflection to transmission is determined by the acoustic impedances of the two materials, when the acoustic impedances of the two materials differ greatly, ultrasound waves are reflected more and transmitted less when propagating between the two materials; conversely, when the acoustic impedances of the two materials differ less, ultrasound waves are reflected less and transmitted more when propagating between the two materials.

[0185] It should be noted that this embodiment does not specifically limit the acoustic impedance of the piezoelectric material layer, the acoustic impedance of the second electrode, and the acoustic impedance of the protective insulating layer.

[0193] The second end of the reading unit T4 is connected to the reading line, the control end of the reading unit T4 receives the reading control signal, and the reading unit T4 transmits the second electrical signal from the first end of the reading unit T4 to the second end of the reading unit T4 in response to the reading control signal.
[0194] like Figure 6 The following is a timing diagram of this embodiment. The working process of the ultrasonic detection module is as follows:
[0195] In the transmitting phase t0-t1, the detection circuit sets the first terminal of the ultrasonic sensor PVDF to the reset voltage Reset in response to the reset control signal received by the reset unit T1, and the ultrasonic sensor PVDF transmits ultrasonic waves according to the input signal inputted at its second terminal.
[0196] In this embodiment, in the transmission stage, the reset control signal and the transmission hold control signal are valid signals, the reset unit T1 and the transmission hold unit T2 are closed, the reset voltage Reset is at a low level, the second node N2 is the reset voltage, the control end of the storage unit T3 is the reset voltage, and the ultrasonic sensor PVDF transmits ultrasonic waves according to the received input signal.

The reset control signal and the transmission hold control signal are inactive, the reset unit T1 is disconnected, and the transmission hold unit T2 is disconnected. The control terminal of the storage unit T3 is closed in response to the storage control signal AP.

During the transmission phase, the detection circuit of the ultrasonic detection module responds to a reset control signal received by a reset unit, setting the first terminal of the ultrasonic sensor to a reset voltage. The ultrasonic sensor then transmits ultrasonic waves based on an input signal inputted to its second terminal. During the reading phase, the detection circuit of the ultrasonic detection module responds to the reset control signal received by the reset unit and the transmission and hold control signal received by the transmission and hold unit. The ultrasonic sensor receives reflected ultrasonic waves, and the first terminal of the ultrasonic sensor outputs a first electrical signal. The transmission and hold unit stores the first electrical signal and holds it in a storage unit for a preset time. The storage unit amplifies the first electrical signal and outputs a second electrical signal. The reading unit reads the second electrical signal in response to the received read control signal and outputs it to a read line.
[0274] Specifically, such as Figure 8bThe figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of another under-screen ultrasonic imaging display device. During the transmission phase, the detection circuit of the ultrasonic detection module responds to the reset control signal received by the reset unit to set the first terminal of the ultrasonic sensor to a reset voltage. The ultrasonic sensor then transmits ultrasonic waves based on the input signal input to its second terminal. During the reading phase, the detection circuit of the ultrasonic detection module responds to the reset control signal received by the reset unit and the transmission and hold control signal received by the transmission and hold unit. The ultrasonic sensor receives reflected ultrasonic waves, and the first terminal of the ultrasonic sensor outputs a first electrical signal. The transmission and hold unit stores the first electrical signal and holds it in the storage unit for a preset time. The storage unit then follows the first electrical signal and outputs a second electrical signal. The reading unit reads the second electrical signal in response to the received read control signal and outputs it to the read line.
[0275] It is worth noting that in the under-screen ultrasonic imaging display device of this embodiment, the ultrasonic detection module is inverted under the display panel. According to the transmission direction of the ultrasonic wave, when the ultrasonic wave reflected by the object to be imaged is received, the ultrasonic wave needs to be reflected between the piezoelectric material layer and the second electrode, and the second electrode and the protective insulating layer of the ultrasonic sensor when it is transmitted. The ultrasonic wave is then reflected to the piezoelectric layer to improve the sensing accuracy of the ultrasonic sensor. Therefore, the acoustic impedance of the piezoelectric material layer of the ultrasonic sensor, the acoustic impedance of the second electrode, and the acoustic impedance of the protective insulating layer are quite different, resulting in greater reflection and less transmission of the ultrasonic wave, and the acoustic impedances of the three are in increasing order.
[0276] This embodiment forms an under-screen ultrasonic imaging display device by inverting the ultrasonic detection module on the side of the display panel away from the light-emitting side. The ultrasonic detection module uses a detection circuit to detect the first electrical signal output by the ultrasonic sensor, and ensures that the first electrical signal is stored and maintained in the storage unit according to a preset time by using a transmission holding unit formed by a metal oxide thin-film transistor. That is, the small leakage current characteristic of the metal oxide thin-film transistor is used to keep the first electrical signal stably stored in the storage unit, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the under-screen ultrasonic imaging display device, especially improving the detection accuracy and stability of large-area, high-pixel-density under-screen ultrasonic imaging display devices, thereby compensating for the problems existing in the existing technology and having broad application prospects.

For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to list all the implementation methods here.
