[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. And, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0041] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the ordinary meanings as understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. The terms "first", "second" and similar terms used in this disclosure do not denote any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Words such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the elements or objects appearing before this word cover the elements or objects listed after this word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Words such as "connected" or "coupled" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.

[0042] It should be noted that the sizes and shapes of the various figures in the drawings do not reflect the true proportions, and the purpose is only to schematically illustrate the content of this disclosure. Also, the same or similar reference numerals throughout indicate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions.

[0043] Fingerprint recognition technology is the most commonly used method of identity authentication in modern society, and it has high social value. Capacitive fingerprint recognition technology is one of the more mainstream fingerprint recognition technologies at present. When a finger touches a capacitive fingerprint recognition device, the finger can act as one plate of a capacitor. Since the distances between the valleys and ridges on the finger and the substrate of the storage capacitor in the capacitive fingerprint recognition device are not equal, the capacitance values of the storage capacitors in the capacitive fingerprint recognition device are also different. Generally, when performing fingerprint recognition, first, a grayscale image of the fingerprint is collected through a hardware device such as a capacitive fingerprint recognition device. Then, after processing such as image segmentation and image enhancement of the grayscale image, image binarization processing is performed to obtain a binary image of the fingerprint image. After that, based on the obtained binary image, feature extraction and feature comparison are performed to complete the fingerprint recognition process. However, the processes of image segmentation, image enhancement, etc. of the grayscale image need to be carried out in a software platform, which not only requires a large amount of programming code for operation and verification, but also is extremely prone to situations of over-processing and under-processing of the image, resulting in situations where fingerprints cannot be recognized and fingerprints are misrecognized.

[0044] The fingerprint recognition device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure, as Figure 1 shown, may include:

[0045] A substrate 100;

[0046] A plurality of acquisition units 110, arranged in an array on the substrate 100; wherein, the acquisition unit 110 includes: a storage capacitor; and, the storage capacitors of the first column of acquisition units 110 are configured as reference capacitors having a fixed capacitance value, and the storage capacitors of the remaining columns of acquisition units 110 are configured as acquisition capacitors whose capacitance values change when a finger presses.

[0047] A plurality of comparison units 120 are located on the substrate 100. Among them, one comparison unit 120 is electrically connected to the first electrode plate of the storage capacitor in a row of acquisition units 110. And the comparison unit 120 is configured to output a first comparison level when the capacitance value of the electrically connected acquisition capacitor is the same as that of the reference capacitor, and output a second comparison level when the capacitance value of the connected acquisition capacitor is greater than that of the reference capacitor.

[0048] The fingerprint recognition device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure sets an acquisition unit and a comparison unit on the substrate, and configures the storage capacitor of the first column of acquisition units as a reference capacitor with a fixed capacitance value, and configures the storage capacitors of the remaining column of acquisition units as acquisition capacitors whose capacitance values change when a finger presses. In this way, the comparison unit can output a first comparison level when the capacitance value of the electrically connected acquisition capacitor is the same as that of the reference capacitor, and output a second comparison level when the capacitance value of the connected acquisition capacitor is greater than that of the reference capacitor. Thus, the binary value of the fingerprint can be directly output through the hardware circuit, and the binary image of the fingerprint can be directly obtained through the binary value, reducing the power consumption of fingerprint detection. And, in this way, the process of fingerprint recognition can be made more concise, and a large amount of additional programming code is not required to generate a binary image, thereby avoiding the situations of over-processing and insufficient image processing of the image, and improving the accuracy of fingerprint detection.

[0049] It should be noted that the columns in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be columns in actual applications, and the rows can be rows in actual applications. Or, the columns in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be rows in actual applications, and the rows can be columns in actual applications, which is not limited herein.

That is, the storage capacitors C12, C22, and C32 in the second column are acquisition capacitors, and the storage capacitors C13, C23, and C33 in the third column are acquisition capacitors.

[0052] It should be noted that the capacitance values of each reference capacitor can be the same. Moreover, the capacitance value of the reference capacitor can be determined during the preparation of the fingerprint recognition device, and when a finger touches the fingerprint recognition device, its capacitance value will not change due to the influence of the finger. For example, during the preparation of the fingerprint recognition device, a shielding layer can be provided on the side of the reference capacitor facing the finger to prevent the capacitance value of the reference capacitor from being affected by the finger. Alternatively, other preparation means can also be adopted to ensure that the capacitance value of the reference capacitor remains unchanged under the influence of the finger. It should be noted that the above "same" refers to being the same within the allowable error range.

[0053] It should be noted that when a finger touches the fingerprint recognition device, the capacitance value of the acquisition capacitor can change due to the influence of the finger.

Thus, the binary value of the fingerprint can be directly output through the hardware circuit, and the binary image of the fingerprint can be directly obtained through the binary value, reducing the power consumption of fingerprint detection. Moreover, this can make the fingerprint recognition process more concise, and a large amount of additional programming code is not required to generate a binary image, thereby avoiding the situations of over-processing and under-processing of the image and improving the accuracy of fingerprint detection.
