Zusammenfassung: | A method of operating a sensing element to sense a parameter, the sensing element comprising a sense TFT having a gate connection connected to a sensing electrode. the method comprising: providing a reference current (Ibias) through the sense TFT: providing a reference voltage (Vbias) at the gate connection to obtain a reference sample voltage (Vcap) from a source connection of the sense TFT: providing, at the gate connection, an indicator voltage (Vgate) dependent upon the parameter to be sensed whilst the reference current (Ibias) continues to be provided through the sense TFT to obtain a sensing voltage from the source connection of the sense TFT; and sensing the parameter based on the difference between the sensing voltage (VS) and the reference sample voltage (Vcap). |
