  • Patent number: 8649001
    Abstract: A substrate for fingerprint contact includes a plate, and the plate includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is an optical diffusing surface. The optical diffusing surface is used for being contacted by a finger, and features hazed particles. The second surface faces an optical imaging system. The optical diffusing surface of the plate helps to enhance light to be evenly emitted to the finger and weakens the unnecessary scattered light to the optical imaging system, so as to enhance the recognition rate of a fingerprint when the optical imaging system is used for intercept the light applied on a finger.

  • Patent number: 8520912
    Abstract: A fingerprint recognition device, applicable to retrieving a fingerprint image, includes a light guiding plate, a finger plate, an imaging piece, and at least one light source. The light guiding plate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other and a sidewall surface connected between the first surface and the second surface. The finger plate is adjacent to the first surface of the light guiding plate. The imaging piece is adjacent to the second surface of the light guiding plate, and the light source is adjacent to the sidewall surface of the light guiding plate. The light source emits a light towards the sidewall surface and the light enters the light guiding plate. The light guided by the light guiding plate is emitted out of the first surface, and the imaging piece retrieves the fingerprint image on the finger plate.

  • Publication number: 20130034274
    Abstract: A finger board for a finger to press including a board layer and a micro-structure layer is disclosed. The board layer has a first refractive index, and has a first board surface and a second board surface opposite to each other. The first board surface is used for the finger to press. The micro-structure layer has a second refractive index different from the first refractive index, and is disposed on the second board surface. Therefore, a light ray emitted from the micro-structure layer to the first board surface can be reflected and scattered on the first board surface, so as to uniformly distribute energy.

  • Patent number: 8113692
    Abstract: A light source module for generating polarized light includes a light emitting element, a reflector, and an optical element. The light emitting element generates a light ray, and the reflector reflects the light ray towards the optical element. The optical element includes a light splitting face and a reflection face. The light splitting face receives the light ray, and an angle between the light splitting face and the incident light ray is at about a Brewster's Angle. After the light ray is irradiated to the light splitting face, the light ray is divided into a refraction light and a reflection light. The reflection face reflects the refraction light, and the reflection face is substantially perpendicular to a path of the refraction light. Therefore, a light source with a high degree of polarization is realized by a design of the light splitting face and the reflection face.
