  • Publication number: 20230074241
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic device including a display panel, at least one fingerprint sensing module, and at least one optical module. The display panel is adapted to provide an illumination beam to a finger to reflect a sensing beam. The fingerprint sensing module is disposed under the display panel and adapted to receive the sensing beam. The fingerprint sensing module includes a sensing area and a non-sensing area. The optical module is disposed between the display panel and the fingerprint sensing module. The optical module is adapted to transmit the sensing beam to the sensing area. The optical module has a light incidence surface, a light exit surface, and a side surface connected between the light incidence surface and the light exit surface. Both the light incidence surface and the light exit surface are non-planar surfaces, and the side surface is opaque.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a fingerprint image sensor and an electronic device. The fingerprint image sensor is suitable for being configured below a display panel and comprises a substrate and a plurality of photosensitive pixels. The plurality of photosensitive pixels is arranged on the substrate to form a photosensitive array having M rows and N columns. The photosensitive pixels located on each row of the photosensitive array are arranged along the row direction, and the photosensitive pixels located on each column of the photosensitive array are arranged along the column direction. Each photosensitive pixel comprises a photoinduction region, and the photoinduction region comprises a first region side edge and a second region side edge. An acute angle is formed between the first region side edge and the second region side edge, and the acute angle is larger than 0 degree and smaller than 90 degrees.

  • Patent number: 10733410
    Abstract: An optical operating module including a light-emitting element, a light guide element, a display panel, and a control element is provided. The light-emitting element includes a first light-exit surface, an electrical connector and a light-emitting unit. The light guide includes a first light-receiving surface, a reflective surface, a first reflective surface, and a second light-emitting surface. The display panel is partially disposed on the light guide, and the other part of the display panel not disposed on the light guide forms an accommodating space with the light guide element, and includes a second light-receiving surface and a third light-exit surface. The control element is disposed in the accommodating space, and generates a control signal to control the light-emitting element after receiving a command of an action. The optical operating module provides abundant light and controls the controlled terminal after the fingerprint identification device recognizes fingerprints.
