However, when the backlight module is directly applied to the liquid crystal display panel, most of the light reflected by the finger cannot enter the optical fingerprint sensor because the light transmittance of the backlight module is low, and thus the function of fingerprint identification cannot be well realized.
Therefore, the related art of fingerprint identification in the existing liquid crystal display panel still needs to be improved.

Therefore, under the premise that the optical fingerprint recognition sensor is disposed below the black matrix in the liquid crystal display panel, most of the light reflected by the finger cannot enter the optical fingerprint recognition sensor due to the shielding of the black matrix, and thus the function of fingerprint recognition cannot be well realized. In contrast, the inventor skillfully arranges an insulating layer with the refractive index larger than the abnormal refractive index of liquid crystal in a liquid crystal display panel on the surface of the photosensitive surface of the existing optical fingerprint identification sensor to change the trend of a light path in the liquid crystal display panel, so that more light reflected by a finger pressing part can be incident into the optical fingerprint identification sensor, the utilization rate of reflected light is higher when fingerprint identification is carried out, the detection precision of the optical fingerprint identification sensor is higher, and the fingerprint identification function is better realized; on the other hand, the light which should be emitted into the black matrix is made to exit the liquid crystal display panel, so that the transmittance of the liquid crystal display panel is high, and the display picture is good.

According to the embodiments of the present invention, as long as the equivalent refractive index of the plurality of sub-insulating layers in the insulating layer is made larger than the refractive index of the liquid crystal 20, the aforementioned fingerprint recognition function and the effect of making the transmittance of the liquid crystal display panel high can be well achieved, and in particular, the refractive indexes of the plurality of sub-insulating layers are not particularly limited, and in some embodiments of the present invention, the refractive indexes of the plurality of sub-insulating layers may be gradually reduced in a direction away from the optical fingerprint recognition sensor; in other embodiments of the present invention, the refractive index of the sub-insulating layers may be gradually increased in a direction away from the optical fingerprint identification sensor; in some embodiments, the refractive index of the sub-insulating layers may decrease and then increase or increase and then decrease in a direction away from the optical fingerprint sensor.
