Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for sensing touch and / or gestures in the near-field area overlying a light-guiding layer within a device or other optical sensing system. In one aspect, modulated infrared light is emitted into the overlying area, and the light reflected by objects within the overlying area is redirected through the light-guiding layer to infrared sensors. In one aspect, a masking structure can be located between the light-guiding layer and the infrared sensors. In some aspects, probability mapping or backtracing can be used to estimate the locations of objects within the overlying area.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to optical sensors, and in particular, to optical touch and gesture sensing devices that can be used alone or in combination with electromechanical systems and devices. Background technique [0002] Electromechanical systems (EMS) include devices having electrical and mechanical elements, actuators, transducers, sensors, optical components such as mirrors and optical films, and electronics. EMS devices or elements can be fabricated on a variety of scales, including but not limited to microscale and nanoscale. For example, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices may include structures ranging in size from about one micron to hundreds of microns or more. Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) devices can include structures with sizes smaller than a micron, including, for example, sizes smaller than hundreds of nanometers. Micromechanical elements may be created using deposition, etching, and / or other micromachining pro...
