Solution Overview

Problem

Optical fingerprint acquisition technologies face challenges in accurately identifying fingerprints due to large-angle incident light causing crosstalk, which results in inability to recognize valleys and ridges effectively.

Innovation Solution

A texture recognition device is developed, incorporating a light constraint element, such as a collimating film with a mesh structure, to restrict the divergence angle of backlight, ensuring the reflected light has a preset angle range, thereby reducing crosstalk and improving recognition accuracy.
