Abstract

An apparatus may include an ultrasonic sensor stack, a foldable display stack and a transmission enhancement layer. The foldable display stack may include a display stiffener and display stack layers. The display stack layers may form one or more display stack resonators configured to enhance ultrasonic waves transmitted by the ultrasonic sensor stack in a first ultrasonic frequency range. In some implementations, a transmission enhancement resonator may include the display stiffener and the transmission enhancement layer. In some examples, the transmission enhancement resonator may include at least a portion of the ultrasonic sensor stack. The transmission enhancement resonator may be configured to enhance the ultrasonic waves transmitted by the ultrasonic sensor stack in the first ultrasonic frequency range.
