Application: Planar phased ultrasound transducer array (Patent ID: US20230415197A1)
The patent filed by Fujifilm Holdings Corp. describes a planar phased ultrasound transducer that includes a sheet of piezoelectric material with kerf cuts to form multiple transducer elements, a piezo frame, and an epoxy material between the frame and the piezoelectric material. Additionally, a flex frame is secured to the back side of the first layer. The transducer design allows for precise ultrasound imaging with improved performance and accuracy.
The claims detail various aspects of the ultrasound transducer, including the dimensions of the piezoelectric material, the formation of transducer elements and sub-elements through kerf cuts, and the alignment of matching layers and lenses. The use of epoxy material to fill the kerf cuts and the patterns of sub-dice kerf cuts further enhance the functionality and efficiency of the transducer. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive and innovative design for a planar phased ultrasound transducer that offers advancements in ultrasound imaging technology.
