CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the priority benefit of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 62/712,990, filed on Aug. 1, 2018. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.

BACKGROUND Technical Field

The disclosure relates to an under-screen fingerprint identification device.

Description of Related Art

The rise of mobile payment brings about rapid expansion of the demand for biometric identification, and biometric identification technology can be divided into fingerprint identification technology, iris recognition technology, DNA identification technology, and so forth. In consideration of the need for efficiency, safety, and non-intrusion, fingerprint identification has gradually become the mainstream technology of biometric identification.

At present, among the fingerprint identification technologies, fingerprint on display (FOD) has been actively developed by various manufacturers. According to the FOD, physical buttons can be further removed, and a sensing element of the fingerprint identification is directly disposed below the display element, so as to achieve a higher screen-to-body ratio and comply with the requirements for the existing slim border display devices.

Compared to the conventional capacitive fingerprint identification, FOD allows the sensing beam to enter the sensing element through the display element and a plurality of optical film layers, and accordingly the intensity of the beam entering the sensing element becomes weak. Therefore, it is usually necessary to improve the imaging quality by means of signal amplification, so as to increase the success rate of fingerprint identification.

Due to the difference in the intensity of the beam received from a central region of the image sensing element and the intensity of the beam received from a peripheral region of the image sensing element, the region having larger intensity is overly saturated during the signal amplification process. As such, certain details of signals may be missing, which results in poor sensing quality.

In the present embodiment, the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100A can further include a casing 150 configured to accommodate the optical lens 130.

The substrate 160 can be configured to hold the image sensing element 110. The translucent cover 170 is disposed on the display element 120 to protect the display element 120. The translucent cover 170 has an upper surface 170s where the object 10 to be identified is adapted to be disposed. That is, the upper surface 170s of the translucent cover 170 may be a surface of the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100A receiving a pressing action, which should however not be construed as a limitation in the disclosure.

In the present embodiment, the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100A can further include an amplifier (not shown) electrically connected to the image sensing element 110. The image sensing element 110 is configured to receive a sensing beam L′ and convert the same to a corresponding electric signal, and the amplifier is configured to amplify the electric signal output by the image sensing element 110.

With reference to FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, the object 10 to be identified is disposed on the display element 120, the initial beam L is incident to the object 10 to be identified, and the object 10 to be identified reflects the initial beam L to generate the sensing beam L′. The sensing beam L′ is transmitted to the image sensing element 110 through the display element 120, the optical lens 130, and the band pass filter element 140. In the present embodiment, the display element 120 is, for instance, a self-illuminating display element, and the initial beam L can be emitted from the display element 120. This should however not be construed as a limitation in the disclosure; in other embodiments, the initial beam L may also be emitted from another light source. In the present embodiment, the object 10 to be identified may be fingerprints, vein, or any other biological features, which should however not be construed as a limitation in the disclosure.

Particularly, after the initial beam L is reflected by the object 10 to be identified, the sensing beam L′ having the information of the object 10 to be identified (e.g., ridges and valleys of fingerprints) is generated. The sensing beam L′ can include a first sub-beam L1, a second sub-beam L2, a third sub-beam L3, and a fourth sub-beam L4, wherein incidence angles θ1, θ2, θ3, and θ4 are respectively formed between the a normal line N of the band pass filter element 140 and the first sub-beam L1, the second sub-beam L2, the third sub-beam L3, and the fourth sub-beam L4, respectively. The incidence angle θ1 is substantially 0°, and θ1234<90°. However, this should not be construed as a limitation in the disclosure. In other embodiments, the sensing beam L′ may include more sub-beams, and different incidence angles can be formed between the normal line N of the band pass filter element 140 and the sub-beams. In the present embodiment, the first sub-beam L1, the second sub-beam L2, the third sub-beam L3, and the fourth sub-beam L4 are exemplary and does not indicate that the sensing beam L′ provided herein merely has four sub-beams.

With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, a wavelength range of the light emitting frequency spectrum SL of the initial beam L is within a range from λL1 to λL2, and the wavelength λL1 is shorter than the wavelength λL2 For instance, in the present embodiment, λL1 can be 400 nm, and λL2 can be 700 nm; preferably, λL1 can be 380 nm, and λL2 can be 630 nm. That is, the wavelength range of the light emitting frequency spectrum SL of the initial beam L is about the wavelength range of a green beam, which should however not be construed as a limitation in the disclosure.

In the present embodiment, the band pass filter element 140 has the first filter frequency spectrum SF1, the second filter frequency spectrum SF2, the third filter frequency spectrum SF3, and the fourth filter frequency spectrum SF4 respectively corresponding to the first sub-beam L1, the second sub-beam L2, the third sub-beam L3, and the fourth sub-beam L4. A transmittance rate corresponding to the first filter frequency spectrum SF1 at a wavelength λF11 and a wavelength λF12 is 50%, the wavelength λF21 is shorter than the wavelength λF22, and λL1≤λF11L2. A transmittance rate corresponding to the second filter frequency spectrum SF2 at a wavelength λF21 and a wavelength λF22 is 50%, the wavelength λF21 is shorter than the wavelength λF22, and λF21F11; preferably, λL1≤λF21F11. A transmittance rate corresponding to the third filter frequency spectrum SF3 at a wavelength λF31 and a wavelength λF32 is 50%, the wavelength λF31 is shorter than the wavelength λF32, and λF31F21; preferably, λL1≤λF31F21. A transmittance rate corresponding to the fourth filter frequency spectrum SF4 at a wavelength λF41 and a wavelength λF42 is 50%, the wavelength λF41 is shorter than the wavelength λF42, and λF41F31; preferably, λL1≤λF41F31. In the present embodiment, a full width at half maximum (FWHM) WF1 of the first filter frequency spectrum SF1 corresponding to the first sub-beam L1 is greater than the FWHM WL of the light emitting frequency spectrum SL of the initial beam L, a FWHM WF2 of the second filter frequency spectrum SF2 corresponding to the second sub-beam L2 may be greater than the FWHM WL of the light emitting frequency spectrum SL of the initial beam L, a FWHM WF3 of the filter frequency spectrum SF3 corresponding to the third sub-beam L3 may be greater than the FWHM WL of the light emitting frequency spectrum SL of the initial beam L, and a FWHM WF4 of the fourth filter frequency spectrum SF4 corresponding to the fourth sub-beam L4 may be greater than the FWHM WL of the light emitting frequency spectrum SL of the initial beam L. The FWHM refers to the difference between two wavelengths whose spectrum corresponds to the transmittance rate as 50%. For instance, the FWHM WF1 of the first filter frequency spectrum SF1 is λF12−λF11, the FWHM WF2 of the second filter frequency spectrum SF2 is λF22−λF21, the FWHM WF3 of the third filter frequency spectrum SF3 is λF32−λF31, the FWHM WF4 of the fourth filter frequency spectrum SF4 is λF42−λF41, and the FWHM WL of the light emitting frequency spectrum SL of the initial beam L is λL4−λL3.

FIG. 3A is a schematic top view of an image sensing element according to an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 3B illustrates a light distribution (represented by a curve I) on an image sensing element at the line segment A-A′ depicted in FIG. 3A. FIG. 3B also illustrates a light distribution (represented by a curve Iref) on an image sensing element of an under-screen fingerprint identification device according to a comparison example. The difference between the under-screen fingerprint identification device in the comparison example and the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100A depicted in FIG. 1 lies in that the under-screen fingerprint identification device provided in the comparison example is not equipped with the band pass filter element 140. Besides, the x axis shown in FIG. 3B represents a distance to a center 110c of the image sensing element 110, and the y axis shown in FIG. 3B represents a normalized brightness.

With reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3B, in the present embodiment, the sensing beam L′ is transmitted to the image sensing element 110 through the band pass filter element 140, thus resulting in corresponding brightness distribution in different regions on the image sensing element 110. In particular, when the first sub-beam L1, the second sub-beam L2, the third sub-beam L3, and the fourth sub-beam L4 of the sensing beam L′ are transmitted to the image sensing element 110, the first sub-beam L1 is transmitted to be close to the center 110c of the image sensing element 110, and the second sub-beam L2, the third sub-beam L3, and the fourth sub-beam L4 are sequentially away from the center 110c of the image sensing element 110.

With reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3B, the filter frequency spectrum of the band pass filter element 140 tends to be changed together with the incidence angle of the incident beam. Particularly, if the incidence angle increases from 0, the filter frequency spectrum of the band pass filter element 140 moves toward a short wave direction. That is, the second filter frequency spectrum SF2 corresponding to the second sub-beam L2 is, in comparison with the first filter frequency spectrum SF1 corresponding to the first sub-beam L1, closer to the short wave direction, the third filter frequency spectrum SF3 corresponding to the third sub-beam L3 is, in comparison with the second filter frequency spectrum SF2 corresponding to the second sub-beam L2, closer to the short wave direction, and the fourth filter frequency spectrum SF4 corresponding to the fourth sub-beam L4 is, in comparison with the third filter frequency spectrum SF3 corresponding to the third sub-beam L3, closer to the short wave direction.

Since the filter frequency spectrum of the band pass filter element 140 tends to be changed together with the incidence angle of the incident beam, the sub-beam with larger incidence angle is more likely to arrive at the image capturing element 110 through the band pass filter element 140 (i.e., when an incidence angle between the sub-beam and a normal line of the band pass filter element 140 is larger, the ratio of the amount of the sub-beam passing the band pass filter element 140 to the amount of the sub-beam not yet entering the band pass filter element 140 is higher). Specifically, the possibility of the fourth sub-beam L4 arriving at the image capturing element 110 through the band pass filter element 140 is greater than the possibility of the third sub-beam L3 arriving at the image capturing element 110 through the band pass filter element 140, the possibility of the third sub-beam L3 arriving at the image capturing element 110 through the band pass filter element 140 is greater than the possibility of the second sub-beam L2 arriving at the image capturing element 110 through the band pass filter element 140, and the possibility of the second sub-beam L2 arriving at the image capturing element 110 through the band pass filter element 140 is greater than the possibility of the first sub-beam L1 arriving at the image capturing element 110 through the band pass filter element 140. As such, the light distribution curve I on the image capturing element 110 of the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100A provided in the present embodiment is smoother than the light distribution curve Iref on the image capturing element of the under-screen fingerprint identification device provided in the comparison example, and the electric signal corresponding to the light distribution curve I is more suitable for being amplified by the amplifier, so as to better prevent the issue of over-saturation and the resultant loss of image details, which is conducive to the improvement of the identification quality of the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100A.

FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an under-screen fingerprint identification device according to another embodiment of the disclosure. The under-screen fingerprint identification device 100B depicted in FIG. 4 is similar to the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100A depicted in FIG. 1, while the difference therebetween lies in that the band pass filter element 140 is disposed between the display element 120 and the optical lens 130 according to the present embodiment. The other elements therein are arranged in a similar manner as the arrangement of the elements in the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100A depicted in FIG. 1, and the technical effects achieved by these elements are similar as well; hence, no further explanation will be provided hereinafter.

FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an under-screen fingerprint identification device according to still another embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 6A illustrates a light spot P on a display element 120. FIG. 6B is a schematic view illustrating a brightness distribution of a central portion and a peripheral portion of a light spot P corresponding to the line segment B-B′ depicted in FIG. 6A. FIG. 7 illustrates a light distribution curve S1 of the light spot P on the image capturing element 110 of the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100C after the light spot P on the display element 120 of the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100C depicted in FIG. 5 is reflected by an object 10 to be identified.

With reference to FIG. 5, the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100C provided in the present embodiment is similar to the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100A depicted in FIG. 1, while the difference therebetween lies in that the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100C is not equipped with the band pass filter element, while the other optical elements therein are arranged in a similar manner as the arrangement of the optical elements in the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100A depicted in FIG. 1 and thus will not be further explained. Here, only the difference is addressed.

With reference to FIG. 5 to FIG. 6B, in the present embodiment, the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100C is configured to identify the object 10 to be identified and includes the image sensing element 110, the display element 120, and the optical lens 130. The display element 120 is disposed on the image sensing element 110. The optical lens 130 is disposed between the image sensing element 110 and the display element 120. The initial beam L generates a light spot P on the display element 120, the light spot P includes a central portion Pc and a peripheral portion Pe outside the central portion Pc, and a brightness of the peripheral portion Pe is greater than a brightness of the central portion Pc. In the present embodiment, the initial beam L includes a central sub-beam Lc and a peripheral sub-beam Le, the central sub-beam Lc defines the central portion Pc of the light spot P on the display element 120, the peripheral sub-beam Le defines the peripheral portion Pe of the light spot P on the display element 120, the central sub-beam Lc passes through an optical axis region 130c of the optical lens 130, and the peripheral sub-beam Le passes through a peripheral region 130e of the optical lens 130.

With reference to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, in the present embodiment, a brightness of the central portion Pc of the light spot P is Bc, a brightness of the peripheral portion Pe of the light spot P is Be, and Be>Bc. In the present embodiment, the light spot P has two brightnesses, i.e., the brightness Bc and the brightness Be. However, this should not be construed as a limitation in the disclosure. In other embodiments, a brightness at an intersection between the central portion Pc and the peripheral portion Pe can be gradually increased in a direction from the central portion Pc to the peripheral portion Pe.

FIG. 8 illustrates a light spot P′ on a display element of an under-screen fingerprint identification device according to a comparison example. FIG. 9 illustrates a light distribution curve S1′ of the light spot P′ on an image capturing element of an under-screen fingerprint identification device after the light spot P′ on a display element of the under-screen fingerprint identification device in a comparison example is reflected by an object to be identified. The difference between the under-screen fingerprint identification device provided in the comparison example and the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100C provided in the present embodiment lies in that the light intensity distribution of the light spot P′ on the display element of the under-screen fingerprint identification device in the comparison example is uniform. With reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, after the light spot P′ on the display element of the under-screen fingerprint identification device provided in the comparison example is reflected by the object to be identified, due to the lens shading effects of the optical lens, an intensity difference ΔS1′ of the light distribution curve S1′ of the reflected light spot P′ on the image capturing element is significant. With reference to FIG. 6A, FIG. 6B, and FIG. 7, the light intensity distribution of the light spot P on the display element 120 of the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100C provided in the present embodiment is not uniform, and the light spot P′ with the non-uniform light intensity distribution and the lens shading effect of the optical lens 130 can compensate for each other, so as to reduce the height difference ΔS1 of the resultant light distribution curve S1 on the image capturing element 110. Thereby, the electric signal corresponding to the light distribution curve S1 is more suitable for being amplified by the amplifier, so as to better prevent the issue of over-saturation and the resultant loss of image details, which is conducive to the improvement of the identification quality of the under-screen fingerprint identification device 100C.
