  • Patent number: 11978278
    Abstract: A display arrangement comprising an optical biometric imaging device for imaging a biometric object comprising: an image sensor comprising a plurality of photodetector pixels; a lens arrangement comprising at least one lens configured to focus light reflected by a biometric object onto the image sensor; an aperture layer arranged between the object to be imaged and the image sensor, wherein the aperture layer comprises an aperture configured to limit the amount of light reaching the image sensor; and a filter element arranged in the aperture and configured to block light within a first wavelength range, wherein an area of the filter element is smaller than an area of the aperture so that a portion of light within the first wavelength range reaching the aperture layer pass through the aperture.

  • Publication number: 20240021010
    Abstract: An optical biometric imaging device includes an image sensor having a plurality of photodetector pixels; a lens assembly having at least one lens configured to focus light reflected by a biometric object onto the image sensor; at least one light source arranged adjacent to the lens assembly and which emits light towards a sensing surface of the biometric imaging device. The at least one light source comprises a waveguide which vertical decouples light; a first linear polarizer arranged between the light source and the image sensor; and a ring-shaped second linear polarizer arranged over the light source to polarize light emitted by the light source in a direction away from the image sensor and having an opening which allows light reflected by a biometric object to reach the lens without being filtered by the second linear polarizer. At least one of the polarizers are rotatable.

  • Publication number: 20240005702
    Abstract: A biometric imaging arrangement comprises an image sensor comprising a photodetector pixel array for capturing an image of an object. An infrared cut-off filter is arranged to at least partly cover the photodetector pixel array. The infrared cut-off filter comprises a first filter area having a first transmission wavelength band including wavelengths in the visible range of wavelengths, and at least two additional filter areas having transmission wavelength bands including wavelengths in the visible range of wavelengths. The transmission wavelength bands of the additional filter areas being different from the first transmission wavelength band, wherein at least two of the additional filter areas are spatially separated by the first filter area.

  • Publication number: 20230177869
    Abstract: An optical biometric imaging device comprising: an image sensor comprising a plurality of photodetector pixels; a plurality of collimating structures arranged above the image sensor, the collimating structures being configured to limit the incident angle of light reaching the image sensor to be lower than a first predetermined incident angle ?1; wherein at least a subset of the collimating structures comprises a light-blocking element configured to block light having an incident angle lower than a second predetermined incident angle ?2, the second incident angle being lower than the first incident angle, wherein the light-blocking element is configured to allow light having an incident angle between the first and second predetermined incident angles to pass and wherein the light-blocking element is configured to block light within a first predetermined wavelength range.
