Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for under-display fingerprint sensor timing control are disclosed. A method includes receiving, by fingerprint sensor control circuitry, an indication to activate a fingerprint sensor that is located under a display panel of a computing device, the fingerprint sensor attached with respect to the display panel such that the fingerprint sensor is exposed to light produced by the display panel and reflected off a finger placed over the display panel at a location of the fingerprint sensor; outputting, for receipt by the fingerprint sensor, a start-sensing trigger signal at a start time synchronized with a display panel timing signal that is provided to the display panel to control emission of the display panel; and outputting, for receipt by the fingerprint sensor, a stop-sensing trigger signal at a stop time synchronized with the display panel timing signal.
