Abstract

A chip capable of controlling a panel to perform fingerprint sensing is provided. Fingerprint sensing pixels of the panel are divided into a plurality of fingerprint zones along a first direction. The chip includes a control circuit. The control circuit provides multiple control signals for controlling the panel to perform fingerprint sensing. The control signals include multiple start pulse signals. The start pulse signals are used to indicate the selected fingerprint zone. The number of the fingerprint zones is greater than the number of the start pulse signals.
