Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective film technology, and in particular to an integrated ultra-thin fingerprint module protective film structure. Background Technology
[0002] The production of ultra-thin optical fingerprint modules requires complex manufacturing processes from components to finished modules. Due to the special structural design of ultra-thin fingerprint sensors, the photosensitive area of the chip is exposed. On the one hand, light-shielding and reflective treatments are needed around the photosensitive area of the chip to prevent external stray light from entering the chip through the chip side plate or reflected light from the vicinity of the chip from affecting the imaging effect and thus the user's fingerprint recognition experience. On the other hand, the production process involves multiple workstations, and external dust can easily fall onto the photosensitive area, causing contamination of the chip's photosensitive area.
[0003] Patent application CN202220560149.5 discloses a light-shielding high-transparency protective film and an optical fingerprint module. The light-shielding high-transparency protective film includes a protective film body, comprising a light-shielding paper with a first opening, foam disposed on top of the light-shielding paper with a second opening, a PET protective film disposed on the foam with only a third opening, and a high-transparency film disposed on top of the PET protective film. The light-shielding paper, foam, PET protective film, and high-transparency film are stacked sequentially to align the first, second, and third openings. The protective film body is an integrally stacked structure, facilitating assembly and use. This protective film structure is attached to the optical fingerprint module to cover the photosensitive chip for protection. However, during the assembly of the optical fingerprint module, the high-transparency film covers the photosensitive chip. After assembly, a transparent substrate is needed to cover the photosensitive chip for protection. The high-transparency film affects the photosensitivity, thus requiring the high-transparency film and the protective film to be peeled off. In existing light-shielding high-transparency protective films, peeling off the high-transparency film is inconvenient. Therefore, this utility model discloses an integrated ultra-thin fingerprint module protective film structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0025] As described in the background section, ultra-thin optical fingerprint modules require complex manufacturing processes from components to finished modules. Due to the special structural design of ultra-thin fingerprint sensors, the photosensitive area of the chip is exposed. On the one hand, light-shielding and reflective treatments are needed around the photosensitive area to prevent stray light from entering the chip through the chip sideplate or reflected light from the vicinity of the chip from affecting the imaging effect, thus impacting the user's fingerprint recognition experience. On the other hand, the production process involves multiple workstations, and dust particles can easily fall onto the photosensitive area, contaminating it. However, in existing protective film structures, a high-transparency film covers the photosensitive chip during the assembly of the optical fingerprint module. After assembly, a transparent substrate is needed to cover the photosensitive chip for protection. The high-transparency film affects the photosensitivity, so it is necessary to peel off the high-transparency film and the protective film. However, the high-transparency film in existing light-shielding high-transparency protective films is inconvenient to peel off.
[0026] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides an integrated ultra-thin fingerprint module protective film structure, which is applied in the field of protective films.
[0027] For details, please refer to Figure 1-3 The integrated ultra-thin fingerprint module protective film structure 100 includes a high-transparency film 1, a first double-sided adhesive layer 2, a protective film 3, a foam layer 4, a second double-sided adhesive layer 5, and a light-shielding layer 6 stacked sequentially from top to bottom. The protective film 3 is provided with an extended tear-off handle 7. The protective film 3 has a release adhesive layer 8 on one surface that adheres to the foam layer 4. The release adhesive layer 8 is bonded to the foam layer 4, and the release adhesive force between the release adhesive layer 8 and the foam layer 4 is less than the release adhesive force between the second double-sided adhesive layer 5 and the protective film 3 and the light-shielding layer 6.
[0028] The integrated ultra-thin fingerprint module protective film structure 100 provided by this utility model can protect the fingerprint module chip from external stray light interference, and at the same time prevent dust and avoid contamination of the chip's photosensitive area, thus ensuring the photosensitive effect of the fingerprint module. By setting a release adhesive layer 8 on the protective film 3 and setting a tear-off handle 7 on the protective film 3, it is easy to tear off the protective film 3 during the assembly of the whole machine. At the same time, the first double-sided adhesive layer 2 and the high-transparency film 1 are separated together, while the foam layer 4, the second double-sided adhesive layer 5 and the light-shielding layer 6 are retained on the optical fingerprint module, and the separation of the foam layer 4 and the light-shielding layer 6 is avoided, thus ensuring the photosensitive effect of the fingerprint recognition device and improving the fingerprint recognition accuracy of the user.
[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0031] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] Please refer to Figure 1-3 This invention provides an integrated ultra-thin fingerprint module protective film structure. The protective film structure 100 includes a high-transparency film 1, a first double-sided adhesive layer 2, a protective film 3, a foam layer 4, a second double-sided adhesive layer 5, and a light-shielding layer 6, which are stacked sequentially from top to bottom. The high-transparency film 1 is bonded and fixed to the protective film 3 by the first double-sided adhesive layer 2, and the foam layer 4 is bonded and fixed to the light-shielding layer 6 by the second double-sided adhesive layer 5. The protective film 3 has an extended tear-off handle 7. The high-transparency film 1 and the first double-sided adhesive layer 2 have the same outer contour dimensions as the protective film 3, and therefore the high-transparency film 1 and the first double-sided adhesive layer 2 also extend correspondingly at the position of the tear-off handle 7 of the protective film 3. A release adhesive layer 8 is provided on one surface of the foam layer 4. The release adhesive layer 8 is bonded to the foam layer 4, and the release adhesive force between the release adhesive layer 8 and the foam layer 4 is less than the release adhesive force between the second double-sided adhesive layer 5 and the protective film 3 and the light-shielding layer 6. The protective film structure 100 is bonded to the fingerprint module in the fingerprint module manufacturing plant. Before the whole machine is assembled, the protective film 3, the first double-sided adhesive layer 2 and the high-transparency film 1 are torn off by the tear handle 7, while the foam layer 4, the second double-sided adhesive layer 5 and the light-shielding layer 6 are retained. When the protective film 3 is torn off, the foam layer 4 and the light-shielding layer 6 will not be pulled up, thus ensuring the adhesion stability of the foam layer 4 and the light-shielding layer 6 to the fingerprint module.
[0034] Furthermore, the protective film 3 has a first through-hole 9, the planar dimensions of the first double-sided adhesive layer 2 are matched with those of the protective film 3, the light-shielding layer has a second through-hole 10, the foam layer 4 has a third through-hole 11, and the second double-sided adhesive layer 5 has a fourth through-hole 12. The second through-hole 10 and the third through-hole 11 are both located inside the fourth through-hole 12. The second through-hole 10 is used to avoid the chip and components on the PCB board. The third through-hole 11, the fourth through-hole 12, and the first through-hole 9 are all used to avoid the chip, ensuring that the photosensitive chip can pass through the high-transparency film 1 for photosensitive processing. Specifically, the thickness of the first double-sided adhesive layer 2 is 0.01 mm, the thickness of the second double-sided adhesive layer 5 is 0.03 mm, the protective film 3 is a PET film, and the adhesive surface resistance of the release adhesive layer 8 in the protective film 3 is 10 ohms. 5 Ω-10 10 The protective film 3 has a tear-off voltage of ±100V, and the total weight of the protective film 3 and the release adhesive layer 8 is controlled between 12 and 20g. The high-transparency film 1 has a thickness of 0.1mm and a visible light transmittance of greater than 90%.
[0035] The light-shielding layer 6 is a single-sided adhesive black light-shielding Mylar sheet with a thickness of 0.02mm. The adhesive side of the black light-shielding Mylar sheet is located on a surface opposite to the second double-sided adhesive layer 5. The adhesive side of the light-shielding layer 6 is bonded and fixed to the periphery of the photosensitive chip on the fingerprint module.
[0036] If a single module uses a manual protective film application structure (100), it requires a large amount of manpower, significantly increasing processing costs. To address this, the sheet material can be designed as a roll material structure, utilizing the application principle of automated production equipment (15). Figure 4 As shown, in this example, the protective film structure 100 is attached to the inner side of the winding of the material strip 16 of the roll structure 15. The adjacent protective film structures 100 are spaced 18.4mm apart. Of course, a blank area 17 is also provided at the front end of the material strip 16, which can be automatically attached. On the one hand, it improves the production efficiency and saves labor costs, and on the other hand, it improves the accuracy and stability of the film application to meet the requirements of mass production.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] The integrated ultra-thin fingerprint module protective film structure provided in Embodiment 1 is further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown, the protective film structure 100 has symmetrically distributed slots 13 on its side. The slots 13 are designed to match the fingerprint module and to prevent misalignment during installation.
[0039] Example 3
[0040] The integrated ultra-thin fingerprint module protective film structure provided in Embodiment 2 is further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 2 , 3As shown, a label 14 is attached to the tear-off handle 7. The tear-off handle 7 has an adhesive surface, and the adhesive surface of the tear-off handle 7 is bonded to the surface of the tear-off handle 7 that is away from the first double-sided adhesive layer 2. Since the protective film 3 is made of transparent material, it is not easy to identify when tearing off. The label 14 is set on the tear-off handle 7 to facilitate identification of the position of the tear-off handle 7. The tear-off handle 7 is screen-printed with bright colors for easy identification. In this example, the tear-off handle 7 is screen-printed with a yellow coating.
[0041] The working principle of the integrated ultra-thin fingerprint module protective film structure provided by this utility model is as follows: The protective film structure 100 can protect the chip of the fingerprint module from external stray light interference, and at the same time prevent dust and avoid contamination of the chip's photosensitive area, thus ensuring the photosensitive effect of the fingerprint module. By setting a release adhesive layer 8 on the protective film 3 and setting a tear-off handle 7 on the protective film 3, it is convenient to tear off the protective film 3 during the assembly of the whole machine. At the same time, the first double-sided adhesive layer 2 and the high-transparency film 1 are separated together, while the foam layer 4, the second double-sided adhesive layer 5 and the light-shielding layer 6 are retained on the optical fingerprint module, and the separation of the foam layer 4 and the light-shielding layer 6 is avoided, thus ensuring the photosensitive effect of the fingerprint recognition device and improving the fingerprint recognition accuracy of the user.
