Currently, there are many types of security systems available on the market, such as graphic password authentication systems, fingerprint recognition systems, and facial recognition systems, among which fingerprint recognition systems have the highest popularity. In the past, capacitive devices were the majority of fingerprint recognition systems, but now, in response to the demand for higher screen-to-body ratios in smart mobile devices, under-screen fingerprint recognition systems have developed rapidly. Under-screen fingerprint recognition systems are mostly divided into two types: optical and ultrasonic. Optical fingerprint recognition systems have rapidly become popular due to their advantages such as high recognition accuracy and easy integration into smart devices.

[0070] The following detailed description of the features and advantages of the present invention is sufficient to enable anyone skilled in the art to understand the technical content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. Furthermore, based on the disclosure of this specification, the scope of the claims, and the accompanying drawings, anyone skilled in the art can easily understand the relevant objectives and advantages of the present invention. The following examples further illustrate the concepts of the present invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way.
[0071] The present invention provides an optical fingerprint recognition system, comprising a base, a photosensitive element, a light-emitting layer and a protective layer. The photosensitive element is arranged above the base. The light-emitting layer is arranged above the photosensitive element, and the light-emitting layer includes a light-emitting element. The protective layer is arranged above the light-emitting layer. The optical fingerprint recognition system further comprises a light-focusing unit and a light-receiving element between the photosensitive element and the protective layer. The light-focusing unit is arranged above the photosensitive element. The light-receiving element is arranged above the light-focusing unit. The light-emitting element is arranged in a side direction of the photosensitive element, the light-focusing unit and the light-receiving element, and the side direction is different from a stacking direction of the optical fingerprint recognition system. The above configuration is conducive to avoiding the afterimage of the light-emitting element in the screen module when capturing the fingerprint image, which can effectively improve the quality of the fingerprint image, thereby reducing the difficulty and time of fingerprint recognition, and improving the accuracy of recognition.
[0072] The light receiving element may include a light interference filter layer (Light Interference Filter Layer) and a light absorption filter layer (Light Absorption Filter Layer). The light interference filter layer and the light absorption filter layer may be formed by a combination of two edgepass filter layers, or a general bandpass filter layer may be used. The light interference filter layer and the light absorption filter layer may be configured by using a filter medium layer or coating on other light-transmitting elements. The light interference filter layer may produce a filter band shift (Bandwidth Shift) according to the change in the angle of the incident light, and the light absorption filter layer may be a light pass filter layer. By combining the light interference filter layer with the light absorption filter layer, light with an incident angle that is too large can be filtered out, thereby eliminating image noise. Among them, the light pass band of the light absorption filter layer may be from visible light to near-infrared light (NIR). Please refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 , Figure 16 A line graph is shown showing the wavelength band and transmission rate of light passing through the light interference filter layer and the light absorption filter layer when the light interference filter layer is irradiated with light at a normal incident angle (0 degree incident angle) according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 17 A line graph is shown showing the wavelength and transmission rate of light passing through the light interference filter layer and the light absorption filter layer when the light interference filter layer is irradiated with light at an incident angle of 45 degrees according to an embodiment of the present invention. The horizontal axis of the graph is the wavelength of light (in nanometers) and the vertical axis is the transmission rate of light (in percentage). Figure 16 and Figure 17 In the embodiment of the invention, the light interference filter layer and the light absorption filter layer are side-pass filter layers that match each other, wherein the light interference filter layer is a short-pass filter layer, and the light absorption filter layer is a long-pass filter layer. Figure 16 and Figure 17 It can be seen that the wavelengths that can pass through the light interference filter layer and the light absorption filter layer will be different when the incident angle of the light is different. For details, please refer to Figure 16 When light is incident vertically, light with wavelengths below approximately 850 nanometers (the upper limit of the short pass) can pass through the light interference filter layer, and when light is incident vertically, light with wavelengths above approximately 800 nanometers (the lower limit of the long pass) can pass through the light absorption filter layer. In other words, when light is incident vertically, light with wavelengths between approximately 800 nanometers and approximately 850 nanometers (near-infrared light) can pass through both the light interference filter layer and the light absorption filter layer. Next, please refer to Figure 17 When the light is incident at a 45-degree angle, only light with a wavelength below 760 nanometers can pass through the optical interference filter due to the large incident angle. Figure 16 In the case of vertical incident light, the wavelength of light that can pass through the light interference filter layer shifts to the left, which is the phenomenon of the above-mentioned filter band shift. When the light is incident at a 45-degree angle, the wavelength of light that can pass through the light absorption filter layer is smaller than that of the light absorption filter layer. Figure 16 The status in remains unchanged. Figure 17 In this state, the wavelengths of light that can pass through the interference filter layer and the absorption filter layer no longer overlap. Therefore, light incident at a 45-degree angle cannot pass through either the interference filter layer or the absorption filter layer. This achieves the aforementioned effect of filtering out light incident at excessively large angles.
[0073] The light-collecting element may also include a light-collecting lens and a light interference filter layer. The light-collecting lens may comprise a light-absorbing material, which is a light-transmitting filter. The light interference filter layer is located on the mirror surface of the light-collecting lens and is configured to shift the filter wavelength in response to changes in the angle of incident light. This allows light with excessively large incident angles to be filtered out, thereby eliminating image noise.
[0074] The light-concentrating unit may include a dielectric layer and a reflective layer, with the reflective layer surrounding the dielectric layer. This allows the use of an appropriate light-conducting medium to shorten the required length and thickness of the optical fingerprint recognition system, facilitating its deployment in thin electronic devices. Furthermore, the reflective layer prevents light from escaping from the dielectric layer, thereby enhancing light transmission within the dielectric layer.
[0075] The light focusing unit may further include an upper dielectric layer and an upper reflective layer, wherein the upper reflective layer surrounds the outer side of the upper dielectric layer, and the upper dielectric layer and the upper reflective layer are located above the dielectric layer and the reflective layer, thereby enhancing the light focusing effect and further shortening the total length.
[0076] The optical fingerprint recognition system disclosed in the present invention may further include a light-guiding layer disposed above the light-emitting layer. Thus, the light-guiding layer can be used as a second light source to reduce overall power consumption.
[0077] The light emitting element can be configured to emit red or green light, thereby providing photoplethysmogram information to confirm that the identified object is a living organism.
[0078] The light-receiving element and the light-sensing element are aligned with each other in the stacking direction of the optical fingerprint recognition system; that is, the orthographic projection of the light-receiving element on the base overlaps the orthographic projection of the light-sensing element on the base. This allows the light received by the light-receiving element to be fully transmitted to the light-sensing element, thereby increasing the light sensitivity of the light-sensing element.
[0079] The light emitting element can be arranged on the same side of the light sensing element, the light focusing unit and the light receiving element. Thus, the light sensing element, the light focusing unit and the light receiving element can be combined into an image recognition unit, which is conducive to modularization.
[0080] The light-emitting layer may further include a screen unit, wherein the screen unit includes the light-emitting element, and the light-emitting element is an organic light-emitting diode (OLED). This facilitates the configuration of an under-screen fingerprint recognition system.
[0081] The photosensitive element and the light-emitting element can be interconnected via a thin-film transistor (TFT) structure. This connection allows for synchronization of their on / off states, controlling the emission and capture of light. This eliminates unnecessary stray light signals and crosstalk, improving recognition accuracy. Multiple photosensitive elements can form an imaging element, such as a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) device. This allows light passing through multiple light-focusing units to form images on multiple photosensitive elements.
[0082] The optical fingerprint recognition system disclosed in this invention may further include a touch layer, located between the light-collecting element and the light-focusing unit. The touch layer may be disposed above, below, or integrated into the light-emitting layer. This provides both touch functionality and the ability to confirm whether the object being recognized is alive.
[0083] The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the optical transmission band of the optical interference filter layer or the optical absorption filter layer is FWHM, which can satisfy the following condition: FWHM < 100 [nanometers]. Thereby, the bandwidth of the optical transmission band can be restricted to control the angle of the incident angle. Among them, the following condition can also be satisfied: FWHM < 50 [nanometers].
[0084] The refractive index of the dielectric layer is nA, which can satisfy the following condition: 1.60 < nA < 5.0. Thereby, the light can be further condensed to shorten the total optical path length, so as to reduce the thickness of the optical fingerprint recognition system. Among them, the following condition can also be satisfied: 1.80 < nA < 3.0. Among them, the appropriate dielectric layer material can be selected according to the requirements of the condensing intensity and the manufacturing difficulty, and the following condition can also be satisfied: nA = 1.61. Among them, the following condition can also be satisfied: nA = 1.77. Among them, the following condition can also be satisfied: nA = 1.85. Among them, the following condition can also be satisfied: nA = 2.42.
[0085] The refractive index of the dielectric layer is nA, and the refractive index of the reflective layer is nR, which can satisfy the following condition: nR < nA. Thereby, it is beneficial to generate total reflection inside the dielectric layer to improve the optical conduction efficiency. Among them, the following conditions can also be satisfied: nA = 1.85; and nR = 1.56.
[0086] The refractive index of the dielectric layer is nA, and the refractive index of the upper dielectric layer is nB, which can satisfy the following condition: nB < nA. Thereby, the condensing effect can be improved, and total reflection between the dielectric layer and the upper dielectric layer can be avoided. Among them, the following conditions can also be satisfied: nA = 1.85; and nB = 1.77.
[0087] The condensing unit can include a condensing lens. Among them, the refractive index of the condensing lens is nL1, which can satisfy the following condition: 1.60 < nL1 < 2.50; thereby, it is beneficial to provide sufficient refractive power to shorten the total length of the optical fingerprint recognition system. Among them, the following conditions can also be satisfied: nL1 = 1.61. Among them, the following conditions can also be satisfied: nL1 = 1.75. Among them, the following conditions can also be satisfied: nL1 = 2.42.
[0088] The refractive index of the converging lens is nL1, the refractive index of the light-collecting lens is nL2, the refractive index of one of the converging lens and the light-collecting lens is nLi, the glass transition temperature of the material of the converging lens is Tg1, the glass transition temperature of the material of the light-collecting lens is Tg2, and the glass transition temperature of the material of one of the converging lens and the light-collecting lens is Tgi. At least one of the converging lens and the light-collecting lens may satisfy the following condition: 0 < 100 × nLi / (650 - Tgi) < 8, where i = 1 or 2. This provides a sufficient converging effect and reduces the difficulty of lens molding. Furthermore, at least one of the converging lens and the light-collecting lens may satisfy the following condition: 0.5 < 100 × nLi / (650 - Tgi) < 6, where i = 1 or 2. At least one of the condensing lens and the light-collecting lens may satisfy the following conditions: 0.65 < 100 × nLi / (650 - Tgi) < 5.2, where i = 1 or 2. At least one of the condensing lens and the light-collecting lens may satisfy the following conditions: 100 × nLi / (650 - Tgi) = 0.68, where i = 1 or 2. At least one of the condensing lens and the light-collecting lens may satisfy the following conditions: 100 × nLi / (650 - Tgi) = 0.85, where i = 1 or 2. At least one of the condensing lens and the light-collecting lens may satisfy the following conditions: 100 × nLi / (650 - Tgi) = 4.13, where i = 1 or 2. At least one of the condensing lens and the light-collecting lens may satisfy the following conditions: 100 × nLi / (650 - Tgi) = 5.15, where i = 1 or 2. The Celsius temperatures Tg1, Tg2, and Tgi used in the relational conditional expressions of this specification refer only to the Celsius temperature values of the material at the time of glass transition, and therefore are dimensionless quantities without units.
[0089] The present invention provides another optical fingerprint recognition system, comprising a base, a photosensitive element, a light-gathering layer, a light-emitting layer, a light-receiving element, and a protective layer. The photosensitive element is disposed above the base. The light-gathering layer is disposed above the photosensitive element. The light-emitting layer is disposed above the light-gathering layer, and the light-emitting layer includes a light-emitting element. The light-receiving element is disposed above the light-emitting layer. The protective layer is disposed above the light-receiving element. The light-emitting element is disposed in a side direction between the photosensitive element and the light-receiving element, and the side direction is different from a stacking direction of the optical fingerprint recognition system. Through the above configuration, replacing the light-gathering unit with a light-gathering layer can reduce the difficulty of the overall process.
[0090] The present invention provides an optical fingerprint recognition device, comprising a plurality of light-emitting elements, a plurality of light-receiving elements, and a plurality of photosensitive elements. The light-emitting elements are respectively arranged at equal intervals in a first direction and a second direction, wherein the first direction is substantially perpendicular to the second direction. The light-receiving elements are located above the light-emitting elements in a stacking direction of the optical fingerprint recognition device, the light-receiving elements are arranged at equal intervals in the first direction, and each light-receiving element is located between two adjacent light-emitting elements in the first direction, wherein the stacking direction is substantially perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. The photosensitive elements are located below the light-emitting elements in the stacking direction, the photosensitive elements are arranged at equal intervals in the first direction, and each photosensitive element is located between two adjacent light-emitting elements in the first direction. Through the above wafer-level optical configuration (Wafer Level Optic), the volume of the overall optical fingerprint recognition device can be reduced, and it is convenient to integrate into the current screen process.
[0091] The various technical features of the optical fingerprint recognition system and the optical fingerprint recognition device of the present invention can be configured in combination to achieve corresponding effects.
[0092] Based on the above implementation manner, specific embodiments are presented below and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0093] <First embodiment>
[0094] Please refer to Figure 1 , depicts a schematic diagram of an optical fingerprint recognition system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the optical fingerprint recognition system 10 includes a base 11, a photosensitive element 13, a light-concentrating unit 14, a light-emitting layer 15, a touch layer 16, a light-receiving element 17, and a protective layer 18. The photosensitive element 13 is disposed above the base 11 in the stacking direction Z. The light-concentrating unit 14 is disposed above the photosensitive element 13 in the stacking direction Z. The light-emitting layer 15 is disposed above the photosensitive element 13 and the light-concentrating unit 14 in the stacking direction Z. The touch layer 16 is disposed above the light-emitting layer 15 in the stacking direction Z. The light-receiving element 17 is disposed above the light-concentrating unit 14, the light-emitting layer 15, and the touch layer 16 in the stacking direction Z, such that the touch layer 16 is located between the light-receiving element 17 and the light-concentrating unit 14. The protective layer 18 is disposed above the light-emitting layer 15 and the light-receiving element 17 in the stacking direction Z.
[0095] Specifically, the focusing unit 14 is located between the photosensitive element 13 and the protective layer 18. The focusing unit 14 includes a dielectric layer 141 and a reflective layer 142. The reflective layer 142 surrounds the dielectric layer 141 with a line segment parallel to the stacking direction Z and passing through the geometric center of the dielectric layer 141 as an axis.
[0096] The light-receiving element 17 is located between the light-receiving element 13 and the protective layer 18. The light-receiving element 17 and the light-receiving element 13 are aligned with each other in the stacking direction Z. That is, the orthographic projection of the light-receiving element 17 on the base 11 overlaps the orthographic projection of the light-receiving element 13 on the base 11. The light-receiving element 17 includes a light-receiving lens 171. The light-receiving lens 171 has a convex surface 171a facing the protective layer 18 in the stacking direction Z.
[0097] The light-emitting layer 15 includes a screen unit 151, which in turn includes light-emitting elements 152. The light-emitting elements 152 are disposed lateral to the light-sensing element 13, the light-concentrating element 14, and the light-receiving element 17, with the lateral direction being different from the stacking direction Z. Specifically, the light-emitting elements 152 are disposed on the same side of the light-sensing element 13, the light-concentrating element 14, and the light-receiving element 17 in a first direction X, where the first direction X coincides with the lateral direction. Furthermore, the light-emitting elements 152 are, for example, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which can function as light sources emitting red or green light.
[0098] The light emitting element 152 and the base 11 are connected to each other through the thin film transistor structure TFT1 , and the light emitting element 152 is indirectly connected to the photosensitive element 13 through the thin film transistor structure TFT1 and the base 11 .
[0099] The refractive index of the dielectric layer 141 is nA, and the refractive index of the reflective layer 142 is nR, which satisfy the following conditions: nA=1.61, 1.77, 1.85, or 2.42; and nR=1.56.
[0100] The refractive index of the light-collecting lens 171 is nL2, and the glass transition temperature of the material of the light-collecting lens 171 is Tg2, which satisfies the following conditions: 100×nL2 / (650−Tg2)=0.68, 0.85, 4.13, or 5.15.
[0101] When a user's finger FG is placed on the protective layer 18, the light-emitting element 152 emits sensing light SL toward the finger FG. Because the finger FG has fingerprint ridges, the surface of the finger FG has valleys VL and ridges RG. The sensing light SL is reflected by the valleys VL and ridges RG (for ease of illustration, only the sensing light SL reflected by the ridges RG is shown in the drawings in this embodiment and all subsequent embodiments) onto the convex surface 171a of the light-collecting lens 171. It is then directed to the focusing unit 14 and becomes a converging light CL directed toward the photosensitive element 13. The converging light CL forms an image on the photosensitive element 13, which transmits information to a processor (not shown) that aggregates the images generated by the optical fingerprint recognition system into integer units for interpretation.
