It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
Referring to fig. 1, a first embodiment of the present invention provides an ultrasonic circuit 10, which includes an ultrasonic transceiver 13, a driving circuit 12 and a power circuit 11 electrically connected in sequence.

In addition, compared with the method of directly arranging the electrodes on the upper surface and the lower surface of the film, the method of the invention can not make the piezoelectric film directly bear the applied high-voltage electric field and can prevent the film from being broken down. The piezoelectric film can be formed by adopting a plasma polarization (see the Chinese patent application with the application number of 201710108374.9 specifically) or an X-ray polarization (see the Chinese patent application with the application number of 201611222575.3 specifically), the formed piezoelectric film can be very thin, the piezoelectric effect is good, the service life is long, and the range of the piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric film subjected to in-situ polarization is 20-35 pC/N.

The thickness of the piezoelectric thin film is less than 30 μm, and the thickness may be further less than 9 μm, and further the thickness may be 1.5 to 7.4 μm, 1.9 to 7.2 μm, 2.2 to 8.6 μm, 2.8 to 8.4 μm, or 3.6 to 6.6 μm, and further, may be specifically 1.8 μm, 2.4 μm, 2.6 μm, 3.7 μm, 3.9 μm, 4.2 μm, 4.6 μm, 5.6 μm, 5.8 μm, 6.7 μm, 8.6 μm, 8.7 μm.
The ultrasonic transceiver 13 further comprises an Ag film 132 sprayed on the upper surface of the piezoelectric film 131 facing the air, and the Ag film 132 has low surface resistance, so that when the Ag film 132 is in contact with a fingerprint, the electrode of the Ag film has better charge conduction performance and is applied; the lower surface of the piezoelectric film 131 facing the circuit to be electrically connected to the driving circuit 12 is coated with an ITO film 133, which is widely used because of its high electrical conductivity, high visible light transmittance, high mechanical hardness, and good chemical stability.
With reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2, a second embodiment of the present invention provides an ultrasonic circuit 10, which can be understood as a specific circuit configuration scheme of the first embodiment.

The driving circuit 12 includes five TFT transistors, which are a TFT transistor M1, a TFT transistor M2, a TFT transistor M3, a TFT transistor M4, and a TFT transistor M5, wherein each of the five TFT transistors includes a gate G and a first electrode and a second electrode. A gate G, TFT of the TFT transistor M1, a gate G of the transistor M2 and a gate G of the TFT transistor M4 are both connected to an input control signal, a first electrode of the TFT transistor M1 is electrically connected to a first electrode of the TFT transistor M2 and the ITO thin film 133 of the ultrasonic transceiver 13 to form an electrical junction J, a second electrode of the TFT transistor M1 is electrically connected to the adjustable voltage source Dv, the adjustable voltage source Dv can adjust a voltage value input to the second electrode of the TFT transistor M1, a second electrode of the TFT transistor M2 is electrically connected to the gate G of the TFT transistor M3 and the gate G of the TFT transistor M5 to form an electrical junction pe, a first electrode and a second electrode of the TFT transistor M5 are electrically connected to the gate G of the TFT transistor M4, a first electrode of the TFT transistor M3 is electrically connected to a regulated voltage source Vi to provide a power source for the driving circuit 12, and a second electrode of the TFT transistor M3 is electrically connected to the first electrode of the TFT transistor M4, finally, the second electrode of the TFT transistor M4 outputs the sampling current Io, so that the external information to be measured can be analyzed and identified.

The external information to be measured can be analyzed and identified.
Referring to fig. 3, in order to better understand the operation principle and the technical effect of the ultrasonic circuit 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, it is necessary to analyze the TFT transistors as follows:
it is understood that the first electrode of the TFT transistor referred to in the present invention may be either the drain electrode D or the source electrode S of the TFT transistor, and the second electrode is opposite to the first electrode, that is, if the first electrode is the drain electrode D of the TFT transistor, the second electrode is the source electrode S of the TFT transistor; if the first electrode is the source S of the TFT transistor, the second electrode is the drain D of the TFT transistor.
It is understood that the TFT transistor may be any one of an N-type field effect transistor or a P-type field effect transistor.
In the actual production manufacturing process of the TFT transistor, since metal layer leads are employed as electrodes on the gate G, the drain D, and the source S of the TFT transistor, the actual TFT transistor includes an ideal transistor and mutual parasitic capacitances of the three electrodes to the ground GND, respectively, and mutual parasitic capacitances between the three electrodes. That is, the gate G and the drain D of the ideal transistor form a parasitic capacitance Cgd, the gate G and the source S form a parasitic capacitance Cgs, the drain D and the source S form a parasitic capacitance Cds, the gate G and the ground GND form a parasitic capacitance Cgd, the source S and the ground GND form a parasitic capacitance Csd, and the drain D and the ground GND form a parasitic capacitance Cdd.
To better explain the ultrasonic circuit 10 provided in the second embodiment, the TFT transistor M5 may be further equivalent to three capacitors by analyzing the TFT transistor in fig. 3 and using an equivalent circuit analysis method in the circuit analysis method, and please refer to fig. 4, in which the equivalent partial circuits are connected as follows: the first electrode of the capacitor C1 and the first electrode of the capacitor C2 are electrically connected to the electrical node pe, the second electrode of the capacitor C2 and the first electrode of the capacitor C3 are electrically connected to the gate G of the TFT transistor M4, and the second electrode of the capacitor C1 and the second electrode of the capacitor C3 are both connected to the ground GND. The equivalent capacitance value of the capacitor C1 is equal to 2Cgd, that is, C1 is equal to 2Cgd, the equivalent capacitance value of the capacitor C2 is equal to Cgs and Cds, that is, C2 is equal to Cgs + Cds, and the equivalent capacitance value of the capacitor C3 is equal to Cdd and Csd, that is, C2 is equal to Cdd + Csd. The TFT transistor M5 is a TFT transistor with a large capacitance value of parasitic capacitance, for example, the capacitance value of the parasitic capacitance is 0.1Pf to 0.5Pf, so as to ensure a non-saturated charging state during the ultrasonic reading stage.
With continuing reference to fig. 4 and 5, the working principle of the specific actual circuit of the ultrasonic circuit 10 of the second embodiment can be better understood by analyzing the working principle of the equivalent circuit of the ultrasonic circuit 10, which includes 8 working modes or working states and flows, as follows:
state S1: when the input control signals En1, En2, and En3 are respectively input to the gate G, TFT of the TFT transistor M1, the gate 2 of the transistor M2, and the gate G of the TFT transistor M4, the TFT transistor M1, the TFT transistor M2, and the TFT transistor M4 are all made conductive. The current of the adjustable voltage source Dv flows through the TFT transistor M1, through the TFT transistor M2, the capacitor C2 and the capacitor C3 to the ground GND, while the second electrode of the TFT transistor M4 outputs the sampling current Io equal to 0. At this time, the ultrasonic circuit 10 is in a reset/initialization state (abbreviated as RST), and the voltage value of the electrical node pe, the voltage value of the Ag film 132 on the ultrasonic transceiver 13, and the voltage value of the ITO film 133 on the ultrasonic transceiver 13 are all 0V, so that the charge amounts on the capacitor C1, the capacitor C2, and the capacitor C3 are all 0.
State S2: when the input control signals En1, En2, and En3 are respectively input to the gate G, TFT of the TFT transistor M1, the gate 2 of the transistor M2, and the gate G of the TFT transistor M4, respectively, the TFT transistor M1 is caused to be turned on, and both the TFT transistor M2 and the TFT transistor M4 are turned off. The current of the adjustable voltage source Dv flows through the TFT transistor M1 to the electrical junction J and has not yet reached the ITO film 133 of the ultrasonic transceiver 13, while the second electrode of the TFT transistor M4 outputs a sampling current Io equal to 0. At this time, the ultrasonic circuit 10 is in the ultrasonic Pre-transmitting state (Pre Tx for short), and the voltage value of the electrical node pe, the voltage value of the Ag film on the ultrasonic transceiver, and the voltage value of the ITO film on the ultrasonic transceiver are all 0V, so that the charge amounts on the capacitor C1, the capacitor C2, and the capacitor C3 are all 0.
State S3: when the ultrasonic circuit 10 is in an ultrasonic Pre-transmitting state (Pre Tx for short), the current of the adjustable voltage source Dv reaches the ITO film 133 of the ultrasonic transceiver 13, and the second electrode of the TFT transistor M4 outputs a sampling current Io equal to 0. At this time, the ultrasonic circuit 10 is in an ultrasonic wave emitting state (Tx for short), the voltage value of the electrical node pe is measured to be 0V, the ITO film 133 on the ultrasonic transceiver 13 generates a high voltage signal, and the Ag film 132 on the ultrasonic transceiver 13 couples the high voltage signal from the ITO film 133, so that the charge amounts on the capacitor C1, the capacitor C2 and the capacitor C3 are all 0.
State S4: an appropriate input control signal En1 is input to the gate G of TFT transistor M1, e.g., 5V, in accordance with the transfer current profile of TFT transistor M1 in order to adjust the state of the charge mode when TFT transistor M1 is in non-saturation, while input control signals En2 and En3 are input to the gate G of TFT transistor M2 and the gate G of TFT transistor M4, respectively, to cause the TFT transistor M2 to be on and the TFT transistor M4 to be off. The current Ids of the adjustable voltage source Dv flows through the TFT transistor M1, passes through the TFT transistor M2 and has not yet reached the electrical node pe, while the second electrode of the TFT transistor M4 outputs the sampling current Io equal to 0. At this time, the ultrasonic circuit 10 is in the ultrasonic Pre-receiving state (Pre Rx), and the voltage value of the electrical node pe, the voltage value of the Ag film 132 on the ultrasonic transceiver 13, and the voltage value of the ITO film 133 on the ultrasonic transceiver 13 are all 0V, so that the charge amount of the capacitor C1, the capacitor C2, and the capacitor C3 are all 0.
State S5: when the ultrasonic circuit is in an ultrasonic wave pre-receiving state, the voltage value of the adjustable voltage source Dv is adjusted and increased according to the time for receiving the reflected ultrasonic wave and the transfer current curve of the TFT transistor M1. The current Ids of the adjustable voltage source Dv reaches the electrical node pe to charge the equivalent capacitor C1 and the equivalent capacitor C2 of the TFT transistor M5, and the voltage value of the electrical node pe gradually increases, and at this time, the ultrasonic circuit 10 is in an ultrasonic receiving state (abbreviated as Rx).
State S6: after the equivalent capacitors C1 and C2 of the TFT transistor M5 are charged for a preset time, the input control signal En2 is input to the TFT transistor M2 to turn off the TFT transistor M2, the input control signal En1 is input to the TFT transistor M1 to turn off the TFT transistor M1, and finally the voltage value of the adjustable voltage source Dv is adjusted to be reduced to 0V. At this time, the ultrasonic circuit 10 is in an ultrasonic Pre-read state (Pre Readout). It can be appreciated that when the charging time is <50ns, it is difficult to generate a narrow pulse width signal with a single TFT transistor, so it is easy to generate the same narrow pulse width signal with the time difference between the TFT transistors M2 and M1 turning on and off.
State S7: when the ultrasonic circuit is in the ultrasonic pre-reading state, because the capacitance value of the charged capacitor C2 is greater than that of the capacitor C1, the input control signal En3 applied to the gate G of the TFT transistor M4 causes the TFT transistor M4 to be turned on, and the second electrode of the TFT transistor M4 outputs the sampling current Io. At this time, the ultrasonic circuit 10 is in an ultrasonic reading state (Readout).
State S8: after the reflected ultrasonic signals are collected and read, when control signals En1, En2 and En3 are respectively input to the gate G, TFT of the TFT transistor M1, the gate G of the transistor M2 and the gate G of the TFT transistor M4 to restore the settings of various signals generated during the operation of the ultrasonic circuit, that is, the TFT transistors M1, M2, M3, M4 and M5 are all restored to the initial setting state, so that the ultrasonic circuit 10 enters the next cycle of operation. At this time, the ultrasonic circuit 10 is in an End state (End for short).
