The connector 4 is provided with a grounding part. After the connector 4 is connected to the external circuit, the grounding part is electrically connected to the ground of the external circuit to achieve the purpose of grounding, and a conductive cloth 7 with a shrinking structure is attached to the back of the flexible circuit board 1. The two ends of the conductive cloth 7 are respectively electrically connected to the first reinforcement plate 5 and the second reinforcement plate 6.

[0038] The working principle of the optical fingerprint module with a conductive cloth structure and the manufacturing method provided by the present invention is as follows: the conductive cloth 7 with an integrated retracted structure is attached to the back of the flexible circuit board 1. After being connected to the external circuit, the conductive cloth 7 grounds the ground wires at the main body 101 and the connector 4 through external contacts, effectively reducing the floating potential and interference signals that may appear in the circuit, stabilizing the voltage and current, and suppressing electromagnetic interference. At the same time, the main body 101 and the plug-in terminal 103 of the flexible circuit board 1 are fixed together, which can better stably identify fingerprint signals in a complex use environment, avoid jitter and fall off of the module at the installation position, and significantly improve the accuracy and stability of optical fingerprint recognition.
