The invention discloses a fingerprint identification device and a fingerprint identification system. One side of a transparent cover plate is a slope side; a detection light source is arranged on one slope side of the transparent cover plate; when the finger-free control is performed, because the refractive index of the transparent cover plate is greater than the air refractive index, the light which is transmitted to the transparent cover plate from the slope side of the transparent cover plate is fully reflected; and a light intensity is detected by utilizing a photoelectric sensor; when the fingerprint identification device is operated by the finger, the valleys of the fingerprint is not in contact with the transparent cover plate, and the light is fully reflected; the ridges of the fingerprint is in contact with the transparent cover plate; because the refractive index of the transparent cover plate is smaller than the refractive index of the human body, the light is partly refracted and enters into the air and is partly reflected and radiated to the photoelectric sensor, thereby causing the light intensity difference of the reflective light between the valley position and the ridge position is great and thus improving the accuracy of the fingerprint identification device.
