In addition, the embodiments of the present invention described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary only for the purpose of explaining the embodiments of the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, a fingerprint identification module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a circuit board 10, a fingerprint identification chip 20, and an electrochromic cover 30. The fingerprint identification chip 20 is disposed on the circuit board 10. The fingerprint recognition chip 20 is electrically connected to the circuit board 10.

Generally, the phenomenon of discoloration refers to a change in the response of a substance to light under the influence of the external environment, and is commonly found in nature. Electrochromism belongs to one of the color change phenomena, and has wide application. Electrochromism refers to a phenomenon in which optical properties (reflectivity, transmittance, absorption, and the like) of a material undergo a stable and reversible color change under the action of an applied electric field, and is visually represented as a reversible change in color and transparency. Materials with electrochromic properties are referred to as electrochromic materials. The electrochromic material can generate reversible color change under the action of an external lower driving voltage or current, and the valence state or the components of the material can be reversibly changed, so that the optical performance of the material is changed or kept to be changed.
In this embodiment, the electrochromic cover 30 is electrochromic glass.
In this way, under the driving of the circuit board 10, the color or light transmittance of the electrochromic glass itself is reversibly changed due to the change of the applied voltage or current, so that the electrochromic glass can be more obviously displayed as the change of the color and the transparency in appearance.
In this embodiment, the circuit board 10 is a flexible circuit board, and is configured to sense an external electromagnetic wave signal and drive the electrochromic cover 30 to change color when the external electromagnetic wave signal is sensed.
Specifically, in one example, the circuit board 10 senses an electromagnetic wave signal from the outside and can form an electrical connection loop, thereby generating an induced current or an induced voltage. The circuit board 10 drives the electrochromic cover 30 to change color by using the induced current or the induced voltage.
In the present embodiment, the electromagnetic wave signal induced by the circuit board 10 is a real-time electromagnetic wave signal. The circuit board 10 has a corresponding electromagnetic wave sensing circuit (not shown), and the electromagnetic wave sensing circuit performs a corresponding response process according to whether the sensed real-time electromagnetic wave signal strength reaches a preset threshold value. When the real-time electromagnetic wave signal intensity sensed by the circuit board 10 reaches the preset threshold, the circuit board 10 forms an electrical connection loop and generates an induced current or an induced voltage, so that the electrochromic cover plate 30 can be driven to change color.
In this embodiment, the color-changing material of the electrochromic glass is tungsten trioxide. The tungsten trioxide is a cathode inorganic electrochromic material and has the advantages of high coloring efficiency, good reversibility, short response time, long service life, low cost, wide optical variation range during coloring and fading and the like.
Specifically, the discoloration principle of the tungsten trioxide electrochromic material is as follows:
wherein M is+Can be H+、Li+、Na+,0<x≤1,e-Is an electron. WO transparent when electrons and ions are injected3In the material, the electrochromic glass is blue, and when ions and electrons are extracted, the electrochromic glass is changed back to the original transparent state. In this process, W is partially +6 valent6+Is reduced to +5 valent W5+To produce tungsten bronze (MxWO)3) Resulting in discoloration of the electrochromic glazing.
It is understood that in other embodiments, the color-changing material of the electrochromic glass may be other inorganic electrochromic materials, such as suitable inorganic electrochromic materials like nickel oxide, and may also be organic electrochromic materials, such as polythiophene, viologen, tetrathiafulvalene, metal phthalocyanine, derivatives of polythiophene, derivatives of viologen, derivatives of tetrathiafulvalene, or derivatives of metal phthalocyanine.
In the present embodiment, the fingerprint recognition chip 20 is a capacitive fingerprint recognition chip. The capacitive fingerprint identification chip is low in cost and easy to detect fingerprints.
Referring to fig. 2, an electronic device 200 according to an embodiment of the invention includes a fingerprint identification module 100.
The electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the invention comprises the fingerprint identification module 100, so that the experience degree of a user is improved.
In the present embodiment, the electronic device 200 has an opening 210. The fingerprint identification module 100 is accommodated in the electronic device 200. The opening 210 exposes the electrochromic cover 30.
In this way, the electronic device 200 can realize different prompting functions through the color change of the electrochromic cover 30. For example, the user may be prompted by the color change of the electrochromic cover 30 that the electronic device 200 is in a certain operating state, for example, the electronic device 200 is in an on/off state, or the visual experience of the user using the electronic device 200 is enhanced by the color change of the electrochromic cover 30.
In one example, the circuit board 10 is used for sensing an electromagnetic wave signal of the electronic device 200 and driving the electrochromic cover 30 to change color when the electromagnetic wave signal of the electronic device 200 is sensed.
Specifically, in the present example, the circuit board 10 induces an electromagnetic wave signal of the electronic device 200 and forms an electrical connection loop, thereby generating an induced current or an induced voltage. The circuit board 10 drives the electrochromic cover 30 to change color by using the induced current or the induced voltage.
In this embodiment, the electronic device 200 is a mobile phone. The electromagnetic wave signal induced by the circuit board 10 is a real-time electromagnetic wave signal of the mobile phone. The circuit board 10 has a corresponding electromagnetic wave sensing circuit, and the electromagnetic wave sensing circuit performs corresponding response processing according to whether the sensed real-time electromagnetic wave signal strength reaches a preset threshold value. When the real-time electromagnetic wave signal intensity sensed by the circuit board 10 reaches the preset threshold, the circuit board 10 forms an electrical connection loop and generates an induced current or an induced voltage, so that the electrochromic cover plate 30 can be driven to change color.
Specifically, in an example, the preset threshold may be an electromagnetic wave signal strength when the mobile phone is in an incoming call. When the mobile phone is in a standby state, the intensity of the real-time electromagnetic wave signal sensed by the circuit board 10 is lower than a preset threshold value, and at this time, the circuit board 10 does not drive the electrochromic cover plate 30 to change color; when the mobile phone is in an incoming call state, the intensity of the real-time electromagnetic wave signal sensed by the circuit board 10 reaches a preset threshold, and at this time, the circuit board 10 forms an electrical connection loop, so that the induced current or induced voltage can be generated, and the electrochromic cover plate 30 can obtain electrons and generate reversible color change, such as changing into blue (containing tungsten trioxide electrochromic material).
In another example, the circuit board 10 is used to obtain a power-on signal of the electronic device 200, and when the power-on signal is obtained, the electrochromic cover 30 is driven to change color.
Specifically, in the present example, the circuit board 10 may include a controller (not shown). The controller is connected to a power button (not shown) that controls the switching of the electronic device 200. When the power key is triggered to start the electronic device 200, the controller obtains a start signal of the power key and controls the circuit board 10 to form an electrical connection loop, so that the circuit board 10 generates current, and the electrochromic cover 30 can obtain electrons and generate corresponding reversible color change. It is understood that the controller of the circuit board 10 can be connected with the relevant controller of the electronic device 200 and can acquire the current on/off state of the electronic device 200.
In the present embodiment, the circuit board 10 is used to obtain a standby signal of the electronic device 200, and when the standby signal is obtained, the driving of the electrochromic cover 30 is stopped.
For example, the standby signal may be generated when the power key is pressed while the electronic device 200 is in a bright state. The controller of the circuit board 10 acquires the standby signal and stops driving the electrochromic cover 30, so that the color of the electrochromic cover 30 returns to the state before driving.
In another example, the circuit board 10 is used to acquire a prompt signal of the electronic device 200, and when the prompt signal is acquired, the electrochromic cover 30 is driven to change color.
Specifically, in this example, when the electronic device 200 generates the cue signal, the circuit board 10 acquires the cue signal and forms an electrical connection loop, and generates current, so as to enable the color of the driving electrochromic cover 30 to change.
In this embodiment, the prompt signal may be a real-time vibration signal. When the real-time vibration signal appears in the electronic device 200, the circuit board 10 obtains the real-time vibration signal and forms an electrical connection loop to generate current, so that the electrochromic cover 30 can be driven to change color. Thus, the color change of the fingerprint identification module 100 can be used for prompting the user.
For example, the real-time vibration signal may be a real-time vibration signal when a mobile phone sends a short message. Therefore, the user can be prompted to view the short message through the color change of the fingerprint identification module 100. In other embodiments, the real-time vibration signal may be a real-time vibration signal when the mobile phone is unlocked, for example, when the user unlocks the mobile phone by triggering the fingerprint identification module 100, the mobile phone sends a real-time vibration signal prompt indicating that the unlocking is successful. The circuit board 10 acquires a real-time vibration signal and forms an electrical connection loop, thereby driving the electrochromic cover 30 to change color.
In other embodiments, the prompt signal may be a driving signal of an indicator light of the electronic device 100, for example, when there is a missed call or other unprocessed event (e.g., the battery is fully charged but the charger is still plugged in the electronic device) in the electronic device 200, the electronic device 100 controls the indicator light (e.g., an LED light) to flash or illuminate for a long time, and the circuit board 10 can obtain the driving signal of the indicator light and form a loop to drive the electrochromic cover 30 to change color. Therefore, the indication signal is not limited to the vibration signal and the drive signal of the indicator lamp in the present embodiment.
It is understood that in other embodiments, the electronic device 200 may be a tablet computer, a notebook computer, or the like, in which the fingerprint detection function is required.
