Abstract
A fingerprint sensing system comprising a plurality of conductive selection lines; a plurality of conductive read-out lines crossing the selection lines; selection circuitry controllable to provide a selection signal on at least one selected selection line in the plurality of selection lines; a plurality of pixel elements formed at intersections between the selection lines and the read-out lines; a reference signal source configured to provide a reference signal; and read-out circuitry coupled to each read-out line in the plurality of read-out lines and to the reference signal source, the read-out circuitry being configured to acquire a read-out signal via a read-out line connected to a selected pixel element, when the selected pixel element provides the sensing signal; acquire a reference signal from the reference signal source; form a corrected read-out signal for the selected pixel element based on the read-out signal and the reference signal; and provide corrected read-out signals.
