NRI\u2019s Lensless Light Field Imaging technologies <\/a>that include integrated display and imaging capabilities (for example US 8,754,842<\/a>, US 8,830,375<\/a>, and US 15\/647,230<\/a>, as well as related patent assets listed therein<\/em>), when implemented with LED, micro-LED, or OLED arrays, can be adapted to implement a number of self-illuminating contact-sensing, contact imaging, and simultaneous image display\/image sensing functions. These can be used to implement (WITHOUT any need for RF capacitive matrix or front-facing cameras<\/u><\/em>) integrated combinations of finger-operated touch screen, touch gesture sensor, color image display, hand-image gesture sensor, document scanner, secure optical data exchange, and fingerprint processing capabilities for smartphones, tablets, laptops, gaming devices, and other systems and information appliances. With adequate LED, micro-LED, or OLED array resolution, touch sensing capabilities can support implementations of NRI\u2019s 6D Touch^{TM<\/sup> (roll\/pitch\/yaw finger-angle) technologies (see} Touch, Gesture, and HDTP<\/a>). (It is also noted that NRI\u2019s Lensless Light Field Imaging technologies <\/a> can implement software-controllable stereoscopic 3D video capture, providing entirely new capabilities for future \u201c3D phone\u201d concepts.)<\/p>\n

As an important opportunity for GPU (\u201cGraphics Processing Unit\u201d) manufacturers<\/u> provided by NRI\u2019s technology is that (array-based) front-facing imaging formation calculations, touch gesture sensing calculations, and touch gesture recognition calculations can be naturally handled within the GPU idle cycles rather than with external processor chips or the main processor chip. Among many other implications, this permits:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
Shifting the entire world of gesture recognition and processing from general processors to GPU manufacturers (!)<\/li>\n
Tight integration of high-speed gestures (including next-generation sophisticated gestures such as NRI\u2019s 6D Touch^{TM<\/sup><\/em>) and high-speed graphics rendering for use in high-performance gaming, 3D, and map applications.<\/li>\n}
Individual LED, micro-LED, or OLED elements in an LED, micro-LED, or OLED array can be used for light sensing as well as light emission functions, either spatially-interleaved or time-multiplexed mode-changes:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
In one implementation a single OLED array is used as the only
\noptoelectronic user interface element in the system.<\/li>\n
In another implementation two OLED arrays are used, each performing and\/or
\noptimized for different functions. In another implementation, an LCD and an OLED array are
\nused in various configurations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n
\n
A software algorithm can produce touch measurement information responsive to light
\nreflected by a finger proximate to the LED, micro-LED, or OLED array.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
To remove effects of ambient light, the emitted light can be appropriated
\nmodulated and the system configured to be responsive to received reflected
\nmodulated light, generating measurement signals responsive to the only reflected
\nmodulated light.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
