[0057] It should be noted that, Figure 1 and Figure 2 Only one framework structure of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit 100 in the present application is shown, and in some other embodiments of the present application, the framework structure of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit 100 can also be embodied as others, which is not specifically limited in the present application.

[0058] Specifically, the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a driving transistor M0, a gate of the driving transistor M0 is connected with the first node N1, a first pole of the driving transistor M0 is connected with the second node N2, and a second pole of the driving transistor M0 is connected with the third node N3. The driving transistor M0 is used for generating a driving signal in the signal identification stage.

[0059] Referring to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, a first end of the recovery module 40 is connected with the third signal end DB, and a second end of the recovery module 40 is connected with the fourth node N4. In the initialization stage, the recovery module 40 is multiplexed as a first reset module 01, the first reset module 01 is turned on, the third signal output by the third signal end DB is transmitted to the fourth node N4, and the fourth node N4 is reset. Resetting the fourth node N4 can clear the voltage remaining in the fourth node N4 in the last ultrasonic fingerprint identification process in the initialization stage, thereby improving the accuracy of the present ultrasonic fingerprint identification. In addition, in the initialization stage, the recovery module 40 is multiplexed as the first reset module 01, which can simplify the structure of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit, and further simplify the overall structure of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification device.

[0060] The first end of the voltage writing module 60 is connected with the first signal end Vdd, and the second end is connected with the second node N2; the first end of the second compensation module 20 is connected with the second node N2, and the second end is connected with the first node N1. In the initialization stage, the voltage writing module 60 is multiplexed as the second reset module 02, and the second compensation module 20 is multiplexed as the third reset module 03. The second reset module 02 and the third reset module 03 are turned on, and the first signal output by the first signal end Vdd is transmitted to the first node N1 to reset the first node N1. Resetting the first node N1 can clear the voltage remaining in the first node N1 in the last ultrasonic fingerprint identification process in the initialization stage, thereby improving the accuracy of the current ultrasonic fingerprint identification. In addition, in the initialization stage T1, the voltage writing module 60 and the second compensation module 20 are multiplexed as the second reset module 02 and the third reset module 03, respectively, without the need to additionally arrange a reset circuit for the first node N1, thereby simplifying the structure of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit.

[0061] Referring to Figure 1 or Figure 2 In the embodiment, the first end of the first compensation module 10 is connected with the compensation signal end Vref, and the second end is connected with the third node N3; the first end of the second compensation module 20 is connected with the second node N2, and the second end is connected with the first node N1.

[0062] The ultrasonic module 30 emits ultrasonic signals in the signal emission stage, and receives reflected ultrasonic signals and generates ridge signals and valley signals in the signal receiving stage. It should be noted that the compensation stage at least partially coincides with the signal emission stage, and the compensation stage occurs before the signal receiving stage. The ultrasonic module 30 is an important part of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit 100 and is also a window for the ultrasonic fingerprint identification device 200 to carry out human-computer interaction.

[0063] Continuing to refer to Figure 1As shown, the first end of the recovery module 40 is connected to the third signal end DB, and the second end is connected to the fourth node N4. In the signal receiving stage, the recovery module 40 is turned on when the reflected ultrasonic signal is negative, and is closed when the reflected ultrasonic signal is positive, for absorbing the negative potential waveform of the reflected ultrasonic signal. The first end of the integration module 50 is connected to the fourth node N4, and the second end is coupled to the first node N1. In the signal receiving stage, the integration module 50 is turned on when the reflected ultrasonic signal is positive, and is closed when the reflected ultrasonic signal is negative, for receiving the positive potential waveform of the reflected ultrasonic signal. By connecting the recovery module 40 and the integration module 50 at the fourth node N4 at the same time, the positive potential waveform and the negative potential waveform included in the ridge signal or the valley signal can be separated, and only the positive potential waveform in the ridge signal or the valley signal is transmitted to the first node N1 for ultrasonic fingerprint identification. The error caused by the negative potential signal reducing the potential of the first node N1 is avoided, and the accuracy of ultrasonic fingerprint identification is improved.

[0064] The first end of the capacitor C is connected to the second end of the integration module 50, and the second end is connected to the first node N1. In the signal receiving stage, the positive potential in the reflected ultrasonic signal charges the capacitor C. In the signal identification stage, the capacitor C maintains the potential of the first node N1.

The first signal end Vdd is used for receiving a first signal; and the second signal end Data is used for receiving a second signal. The first signal is a voltage signal, and the second signal is a current signal. The first signal end Vdd and the second signal end Data are used for providing a voltage signal and a current signal to the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit 100 in the signal identification stage, so as to make the driving transistor M0 conduct, and generate a driving signal.

[0066] In an optional embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a circuit diagram of an ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application. The first compensation module 10 includes a first transistor M1. The gate of the first transistor M1 is connected to a first signal control end S1. The first pole of the first transistor is connected to a compensation signal end Vref. The second pole of the first transistor M1 is connected to a third node N3.

[0067] It can be understood that the first transistor M1 includes a gate, a first pole and a second pole. The gate of the first transistor M1 is a control end of the first compensation module 10. The first pole of the first transistor M1 is a first end of the first compensation module 10. The second pole of the first transistor M1 is a second end of the first compensation module 10. The gate of the first transistor M1 is connected to the first signal control end S1, for receiving a control signal of the first signal control end S1, and conducting or cutting off. Exemplarily, Figure 3The first transistor M1 shown is an N-type transistor. The N-type transistor is turned on when the gate receives a high-level signal and is turned off when a low-level signal is received. In the compensation stage, the first signal control end S1 outputs a high-level signal, and the first transistor M1 is turned on to transmit the compensation signal output by the compensation signal end Vref to the third node N3. The first transistor M1 and the second compensation module 20 jointly transmit the compensation signal to the first node N1, which is used to compensate for the deviation of the threshold voltage Vth of the drive transistor M0, reduce the influence of the threshold voltage Vth of the drive transistor M0 on ultrasonic fingerprint identification, and improve the accuracy of ultrasonic fingerprint identification.

[0069] It can be understood that the second transistor M2 includes a gate, a first pole and a second pole. Among them, the gate of the second transistor M2 is the control end of the second compensation module 20, the first pole of the second transistor M2 is the first end of the second compensation module 20, and the second pole of the second transistor M2 is the second end of the second compensation module 20. The gate of the second transistor M2 is connected to the second signal control end S2 for receiving the control signal of the second signal control end S2 to be turned on or turned off. In the initialization stage or the compensation stage, the second signal control end S2 outputs a high-level signal, and the second transistor M2 is turned on to transmit the signal of the second node N2 to the first node N1. In the initialization stage, the voltage writing module 60 is multiplexed as the second reset module 02, the second compensation module 20 is multiplexed as the third reset module 03, and the second transistor M2 and the third reset module 03 jointly transmit the first signal of the first signal end Vdd to the first node N1. Resetting the first node N1 can clear the voltage remaining in the first node N1 in the last ultrasonic fingerprint identification process in the initialization stage T1, thereby improving the accuracy of the current ultrasonic fingerprint identification. In the compensation stage, the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 jointly transmit the compensation signal to the first node N1, which is used to compensate for the deviation of the threshold voltage Vth of the drive transistor M0, reduce the influence of the threshold voltage Vth of the drive transistor M0 on ultrasonic fingerprint identification, and improve the accuracy of ultrasonic fingerprint identification.

[0070] In an optional embodiment provided by the present application, continuing to refer to Figure 3As shown, the ultrasonic module 30 includes a transmitting electrode Tx, a receiving electrode Rx and a piezoelectric layer, the piezoelectric layer is arranged between the transmitting electrode Tx and the receiving electrode Rx, the transmitting electrode Tx is used to transmit an ultrasonic signal in a signal transmitting stage, the piezoelectric layer is used to receive a reflected ultrasonic signal in a signal receiving stage and generate a ridge signal or a valley signal, and the receiving electrode Rx is used to receive the ridge signal or the valley signal.

[0071] It can be understood that the ultrasonic module 30 includes the transmitting electrode Tx, the receiving electrode Rx and the piezoelectric layer. The transmitting electrode Tx transmits an ultrasonic signal in a signal transmitting stage, and the ultrasonic signal is reflected when reaching the surface of a finger or other tissue. In a signal receiving stage, the piezoelectric layer receives the reflected ultrasonic signal. Since the surface of the finger has uneven ridges and valleys, the reflection of the ultrasonic signal by the ridges and valleys is different. Therefore, the piezoelectric layer generates a ridge signal or a valley signal according to the received reflected ultrasonic signal, and transmits the ridge signal and the valley signal to the receiving electrode Rx. The receiving electrode Rx transmits the received ridge signal or valley signal to the fourth node N4.

[0072] In an optional embodiment provided by the present application, continuing to refer to Figure 3 As shown, the recovery module 40 includes a third transistor M3, the gate of the third transistor M3 is connected to the third signal control end S3, the first electrode of the third transistor is connected to the third signal end DB, and the second electrode of the third transistor M3 is connected to the fourth node N4.

[0073] It can be understood that the third transistor M3 includes a gate, a first pole and a second pole. The gate of the third transistor M3 is the control end of the recovery module 40, the first pole of the third transistor M3 is the first end of the recovery module 40, and the second pole of the third transistor M2 is the second end of the recovery module 40. The gate of the second transistor M2 is connected to the third signal control end S3, for receiving the control signal of the third signal control end S3, and conducting or cutting off. In the initialization stage, the third signal control end S3 outputs a high level signal, the third transistor M3 is turned on, and the third signal of the third signal end DB is transmitted to the fourth node N4, and the fourth node N4 is reset. The third signal can be a 0 potential signal. Resetting the fourth node N4 can clear the voltage remaining in the fourth node N4 in the last ultrasonic fingerprint identification process in the initialization stage, thereby improving the accuracy of the present ultrasonic fingerprint identification. In addition, in the initialization stage, the recovery module 40 is reused as the first reset module 01, which can simplify the structure of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit, and thereby simplify the overall structure of the identification device. In the signal receiving stage, the third signal control end S3 outputs a 0 potential signal, when the reflected ultrasonic signal transmitted to the fourth node N4 is a positive potential signal, the control signal of the gate of the third transistor M3 is a low level signal relative to the reflected ultrasonic signal of the fourth node N4, and the third transistor M3 is cut off. When the reflected ultrasonic signal transmitted to the fourth node N4 is a negative potential signal, the control signal of the gate of the third transistor M3 is a high level signal relative to the reflected ultrasonic signal of the fourth node N4, and the third transistor M3 is turned on. The negative potential signal of the reflected ultrasonic signal transmitted to the fourth node N4 is transmitted to the third signal end DB. Avoiding the error caused by the negative potential signal reducing the potential of the first node N1, and improving the accuracy of ultrasonic fingerprint identification.

The gate of the fourth transistor M4 is the control end of the integration module 50, the first pole of the fourth transistor M4 is the first end of the integration module 50, and the second pole of the third transistor M2 is the second end of the integration module 50. The gate of the second transistor M2 is connected to the fourth signal control end S4, for receiving the control signal of the fourth signal control end S4, and conducting or cutting off. Exemplarily, Figure 3The fourth transistor M4 is a P-type transistor. The P-type transistor is turned off when the gate receives a high-level signal and is turned on when the gate receives a low-level signal. In the signal receiving stage, the fourth signal control terminal S4 outputs a 0 potential signal. When the reflected ultrasonic signal transmitted to the fourth node N4 is a negative potential signal, the control signal of the gate of the fourth transistor M4 is a high-level signal relative to the reflected ultrasonic signal of the fourth node N4, and the fourth transistor M4 is turned off. When the reflected ultrasonic signal transmitted to the fourth node N4 is a positive potential signal, the control signal of the gate of the fourth transistor M4 is a low-level signal relative to the reflected ultrasonic signal of the fourth node N4, and the fourth transistor M4 is turned on.

The circuit connection mode of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is the same as that of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit 100 in any of the above embodiments. However, Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit 100 is described by taking the driving transistor M0 as an N-type transistor, Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit 100 is described by taking the driving transistor M0 as an N-type transistor.

[0081] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application further provides a driving method of an ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit, used for driving the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit provided by any of the above embodiments. Referring to Figures 1 to 3 、 Figures 5 to 7 As shown in the figure, the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit 100 is described by taking the driving transistor M0 as an N-type transistor. The P-type transistor is turned on under the control of a low level signal and is cut off under the control of a high level signal. The N-type transistor is turned on under the control of a high level signal and is cut off under the control of a low level signal. In addition, the above driving transistor M0 can be a P-type transistor or an N-type transistor, which is not limited in the present application. Figure 5 The figure is a flow chart of the driving method of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application; Figure 6 The figure is a timing diagram of the driving method of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application; Figure 7 The figure is a timing diagram of another driving method of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0082] The driving method for the ultrasonic fingerprint recognition circuit provided in this embodiment of the invention is used to drive the ultrasonic fingerprint recognition circuit 100 in any of the above embodiments. The ultrasonic fingerprint recognition circuit 100 includes: a driving transistor M0, a capacitor C, a first compensation module 10, a second compensation module 20, an ultrasonic module 30, a recovery module 40, an integration module 50, a voltage writing module 60, and a current writing module 70.

[0083] The driving method includes at least the following stages: initialization stage T1, compensation stage T20, signal transmission stage T2, signal reception stage T3, and signal identification stage T4.

[0084] During the initialization phase T1: the recycling module 40 is used as the first reset module 01. The first reset module 01 is turned on and writes the third signal of the third signal terminal DB into the fourth node N4 to reset the fourth node N4.

[0085] Understandably, during the initialization phase T1, the recycling module 40 is reused as the first reset module 01. The control terminal of the first reset module 01 is connected to the third signal control terminal S3, the first terminal of the first reset module 01 is connected to the third signal terminal DB, and the second terminal of the first reset module 01 is connected to the fourth node N4. During the initialization phase T1, the third signal control terminal S3 outputs a high-level signal, the first reset module 01 is turned on, and the third signal of the third signal terminal DB is written to the fourth node N4. The third signal can be a 0-potential signal. Resetting the fourth node N4 can clear the residual voltage of the fourth node N4 from the previous ultrasonic fingerprint recognition process during the initialization phase T1, thereby improving the accuracy of the current ultrasonic fingerprint recognition. In addition, reusing the recycling module 40 as the first reset module 01 during the initialization phase T1 simplifies the structure of the ultrasonic fingerprint recognition circuit, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the recognition device.

[0086] The voltage writing module 60 is used as the second reset module 02, and the second compensation module 20 is used as the third reset module 03. When the second reset module 02 and the third reset module 03 are turned on, the first signal of the first signal terminal Vdd is written to the first node N1 to reset the first node N1.

[0087] It can be understood that the voltage writing module 60 is multiplexed as the second reset module 02 in the initialization stage T1, and the second compensation module 20 is multiplexed as the third reset module 03 in the initialization stage T1. The control end of the second reset module 02 is connected with the first switch signal control end E1, the first pole of the second reset module 02 is connected with the first signal end Vdd, and the second pole of the second reset module 02 is connected with the second node N2. The control end of the third reset module 03 is connected with the second signal control end S2, the first pole of the third reset module 03 is connected with the second node N2, and the second pole of the third reset module 03 is connected with the first node N1. In the initialization stage T1, the first switch signal control end E1 and the second signal control end S2 output high level signals, the second reset module 02 and the third reset module 03 are turned on, and the first signal of the first signal end Vdd is transmitted to the first node N1 in sequence through the second reset module 02, the second node N2 and the third reset module 03. At this time, the voltage of the first node N1 is Vdd. Resetting the first node N1 can clear the voltage remaining in the first node N1 in the last ultrasonic fingerprint identification process in the initialization stage T1, thereby improving the accuracy of the present ultrasonic fingerprint identification. In addition, in the initialization stage T1, the voltage writing module 60 and the second compensation module 20 are multiplexed as the second reset module 02 and the third reset module 03 respectively, and no additional reset circuit needs to be arranged for the first node N1, thereby simplifying the structure of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit.

[0088] In the compensation stage T20: the first compensation module 10 and the second compensation module 20 are turned on, and the first compensation module 10 and the second compensation module 20 compensate the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor M0.

[0089] It can be understood that the control end of the first compensation module 10 is connected with the first signal control end S1, the first pole of the first compensation module 10 is connected with the compensation signal control end Vref, and the second pole of the first compensation module 10 is connected with the third node N3. The control end of the second compensation module 20 is connected with the second signal control end S2, the first pole of the second compensation module 20 is connected with the second node N2, and the second pole of the second compensation module 20 is connected with the first node N1. In the compensation stage T20, the first signal control end S1 and the second signal control end S2 output high level signals, and the first compensation module 10 and the second compensation module 20 are turned on. The compensation signal transmitted by the compensation signal control end Vref is transmitted to the first node N1 through the first compensation module 10, the third node N3, the driving transistor M0, the second node N2 and the second compensation module 20. The potential of the first node N1 gradually changes from Vdd to Vref+Vth. By compensating the first node N1, the deviation of the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor M0 can be compensated, the influence of the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor M0 on the ultrasonic fingerprint identification can be reduced, and the accuracy of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification can be improved.

[0090] In the signal transmitting stage T2, the ultrasonic module 30 transmits ultrasonic signals.

[0091] It can be understood that, in the signal transmitting stage T2, the ultrasonic module 30 transmits ultrasonic signals outwardly. It should be noted that the signal transmitting stage T2 is for the ultrasonic module 30, and the compensation stage T20 is for the compensation module. The compensation stage T20 is included in the signal transmitting stage T2, and the compensation stage T20 has the same starting time as the signal transmitting stage T2 but ends earlier than the signal transmitting stage T2. The compensation stage T20 at least partially coincides with the signal transmitting stage T2, which can reduce the driving time of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit and improve the efficiency of identification.

[0092] In the signal receiving stage T3, the ultrasonic module 30 receives the reflected ultrasonic signals and generates ridge signals or valley signals; the recovery module 40 is turned on to transmit the negative potential waveform of the reflected ultrasonic signals to the third signal end DB; and the integration module 50 is turned on to transmit the positive potential waveform of the reflected ultrasonic signals to the first node N1.

[0093] It can be understood that, in the signal receiving stage T3, the ultrasonic module 30 receives the ultrasonic signals reflected by the finger or other biological tissues and generates ridge signals and valley signals according to the reflected ultrasonic signals. The ridge signals are used to represent the protrusions in the fingerprint, and the valley signals are used to represent the depressions in the fingerprint. The ridge signals or valley signals are transmitted to the fourth node N4. Since the ridge signals or valley signals include both positive potential waveforms and negative potential waveforms, the positive potential waveforms and the negative potential waveforms need to be separated at the fourth node N4. Only the positive potential waveforms in the ridge signals or valley signals are transmitted to the first node N1.

[0094] Therefore, the recovery module 40 and the integration module 50 are coupled with the fourth node N4. When the recovery module 40 is turned on, it is used to absorb the negative potential waveform in the reflected ultrasonic signals. When the integration module 50 is turned on, it is used to transmit the positive potential waveform in the reflected ultrasonic signals to the first node N1.

[0095] Specifically, the control end of the recovery module 40 is connected to the third signal control end S3, the first pole of the recovery module 40 is connected to the third signal end DB, and the second pole of the recovery module 40 is connected to the fourth node N4. In the signal receiving stage T3, the third signal control end S3 outputs a 0 potential signal. When the ridge signals or valley signals transmitted to the fourth node N4 are negative potential signals, the potential of the control end of the recovery module 40 is high compared with the potential of the fourth node N4. Therefore, the recovery module 40 is turned on, and the negative potential signals of the fourth node N4 are transmitted to the third signal end DB through the recovery module 40.

[0096] The control end of the integration module 50 is connected with the fourth signal control end S4, the first pole of the integration module 50 is connected with the fourth node N4, and the second pole of the integration module 50 is connected with the first end of the capacitor C. In the signal receiving stage T3, the fourth signal control end S4 outputs a 0 potential signal. When the ridge signal or the valley signal transmitted to the fourth node N4 is a positive potential signal, the potential of the control end of the integration module 50 is low compared with the potential of the fourth node N4. Therefore, the integration module 50 is turned on, the positive potential signal of the fourth node N4 is transmitted to the first end of the capacitor C through the integration module 50, the capacitor C is charged, and then the different potential of the first node N1 is maintained. For example, the ridge signal or the valley signal charges the capacitor C, the potential of the first node N1 is increased by△V, and at this time, the potential of the first node N1 is Vref+Vth+△V.

[0097] In the signal identification stage T4, the voltage writing module 60 and the current writing module 70 are turned on, the voltage writing module 60 writes the first signal into the second node N2, the current writing module 70 writes the second signal into the third node N3, and the fingerprint information is determined according to the voltage of the third node N3.

[0098] It can be understood that the control end of the voltage writing module 60 is connected with the first switch signal control end E1, the first pole of the voltage writing module 60 is connected with the first signal end Vdd, and the second pole of the voltage writing module 60 is connected with the second node N2. The control end of the current writing module 70 is connected with the second switch signal control end E2, the first pole of the current writing module 70 is connected with the second signal end Data, and the second pole of the voltage writing module 70 is connected with the third node N3. In the signal identification stage T4, the first switch signal control end E1 and the second switch signal control end E2 both output high level signals, and the voltage writing module 60 and the current writing module 70 are turned on. The first signal end Vdd, the voltage writing module 60, the second node N2, the driving transistor M0, the third node N3, the current writing module 70 and the second signal end Data form a loop. The second signal emitted by the second signal end Data is a current signal. Therefore, when the second signal is fixed, the current in the loop is I=k(Vref+Vth+△V-V N3 -Vth), that is When the current I and the value of the compensation signal Vref are fixed, the potential V N3 The potential△V increased by the ridge signal or the valley signal to the first node N1 can be determined, and then the fingerprint information is determined.

[0099] From the above, it can be seen that the embodiment provided by the application eliminates the influence of the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor M0.

[0100] In an optional embodiment provided by the application, with reference to Figure 4 , Figure 5 andFigure 8 As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 8 FIG. 8 is a timing diagram of a driving method of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit 100 shown in FIG. 1.

Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 4 FIG. 8 is a timing diagram of a driving method of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit 100 shown in FIG. 1. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1, the driving transistor M0 is a P-type transistor. The P-type transistor is turned on under the control of a low-level signal and is turned off under the control of a high-level signal. The N-type transistor is turned on under the control of a high-level signal and is turned off under the control of a low-level signal.

[0102] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides an ultrasonic fingerprint identification device 200, which is described in detail with reference to Figure 9 As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 9 FIG. 1 is a top view of an ultrasonic fingerprint identification device according to an embodiment of the present application. The ultrasonic fingerprint identification device 200 provided by the present application comprises the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit 100 provided by any of the above embodiments.

[0103] It should be noted that the ultrasonic fingerprint identification device 200 provided by the present application can be embodied as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a time clock, a smart door lock or any product or component having a fingerprint identification function.

[0104] It can be understood that, Figure 9 It should be noted that the ultrasonic fingerprint identification device 200 provided by the present application is only schematically shown in the form of a rectangle, and the actual shape of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification device 200 is not limited. In some other embodiments of the present application, the shape of the ultrasonic fingerprint identification device 200 can also be a rounded rectangle, a circle, an ellipse or a special-shaped structure including an arc structure, and the present application does not make a specific limitation in this regard.

[0105] In summary, the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit and its driving method and identification device provided by the present application at least achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0106] The embodiment provided by the present application transmits a compensation signal to the first node in the compensation stage by setting the first compensation module and the second compensation module coupled with the gate of the driving transistor, so that the potential of the first node reaches Vref+Vth. In the signal receiving stage, the first node receives the reflected ultrasonic signal from the ultrasonic module, and the reflected ultrasonic signal charges the first end of the capacitor, so that the potential of the first node is increased to Vref+Vth+△V. In the signal identification stage, the current writing module writes the second signal at the second signal end to the third node, and the second signal is a current signal. Therefore, in the signal identification stage, the current in the loop formed by the first signal end, the voltage writing module, the second node, the driving transistor, the third node, the current writing module and the second signal end is I=k(Vref+Vth+△V-V N3 -Vth). As can be seen from the formula, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor is offset, and the fingerprint identification information can be determined by the potential of the third node. The embodiment provided by the present application eliminates the influence of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor on the ultrasonic fingerprint identification circuit, and improves the accuracy of fingerprint identification.
