  • Publication number: 20180144172
    Abstract: The present invention provides an optical fingerprint sensor module and its package thereof, which comprises a carrier, at least one light emitting diode, at least one image sensor and a molding compound. When a user's fingerprint is generated for recognition, the light emitting diode provides enough light sources for lighting and helping the image sensor to capture and sense an image of the fingerprint. A top emitting surface of the light emitting diode is higher than a top of the image sensor, such that interferences from the side light of the light emitting diode with the image sensor can be effectively avoided. Besides, the molding compound comprises a caved portion corresponding to the image sensor on a vertical plane. By designing above, it successfully achieves the purpose of reducing a thickness of the optical fingerprint sensor package.
