Meanwhile, each filter region 111 is provided with at most one light hole 1101, that is, any filter region 111 may be provided with one light hole 1101 or without the light holes 1101. Furthermore, at most one filter region 111 of any two adjacent filter regions 111 is provided with a light-transmitting hole 1101 to avoid an excessively short image distance.

If backlight unit 2 is straight following formula backlight unit, discernment light induction circuit 5 can be between light source and display module assembly 1, still can set up one deck or multilayer optical film piece between discernment light induction circuit 5 and the display module assembly 1.
The identification light sensing circuit 5 is a transparent structure, which is not limited to be completely transparent, and may be translucent or partially transparent, but if the transparent structure is partially transparent, the range of the transparent area should satisfy the requirement of identifying the fingerprint image, for example, the range of the transparent area is greater than 80% of the entire range of the identification light sensing circuit 5, and the like, and is not limited herein.
The identification light sensing circuit 5 may be an independent integrated circuit chip, or may be a circuit integrated in the display module 1, for example, integrated on the same circuit board as the pixel driving circuit of the array substrate of the display module 1, or the identification light sensing circuit 5 may be a circuit independent from the display module 1.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, according to the principle of pinhole imaging, the light reflected by the finger and transmitted by the light hole 1101 forms a fingerprint image on the identification light sensing circuit 5, and the identification light sensing circuit 5 can perform photoelectric conversion, so as to obtain an electrical signal capable of reflecting fingerprint information, i.e. a fingerprint signal, according to the light reflected by the finger, and the specific sensing principle is not described in detail herein. The identification light sensing circuit 5 may include a plurality of sensing units distributed in an array to respectively receive the identification light transmitted through each light hole 1101, and the sensing units may generate a fingerprint signal according to the received light.
If the identification light emitted by the identification light source 4 is invisible light, the sensing unit is sensitive to the invisible light; for example, if the light emitted from the light source 4 is infrared light, the sensing unit is an infrared sensing unit. In addition, if the light emitted from the identification light source 4 is visible light, the sensing unit is sensitive to visible light.
Since the light sensing circuit 5 may cause light loss, in order to improve the uniformity of the brightness of the lcd panel, in one embodiment, the backlight module 2 is a side-in type backlight module, and includes a backlight source and a light guide plate 21, the light guide plate 21 has a light emitting surface and a backlight surface opposite to each other, the light emitting surface is disposed opposite to the display module 1, the backlight surface is located on one side of the light emitting surface away from the display module 1, and the backlight surface has a plurality of reflective dots.
As shown in fig. 5, the area of the backlight surface of the light guide plate 21 corresponding to the recognition light sensing circuit 5 is a first area S1, the density of the dots of the first area S1 is a first density, the area of the backlight surface corresponding to the area other than the recognition light sensing circuit 5 is a second area S2, and the density of the dots of the second area S2 is a second density. The first density may be made greater than the second density, thereby improving the brightness of the area of the light guide plate 21 corresponding to the recognition light sensing circuit 5, compensating for the loss caused by the recognition light sensing circuit 5, and improving the uniformity of the brightness of the liquid crystal display panel.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the backlight module 2 is a direct-type backlight module, and includes a plurality of backlights 22 facing the display module 1, and at least a portion of the backlights 22 correspond to the light-identifying sensing circuit 5. The area facing the recognition light sensing circuit 5 is the first area S1, the backlight 22 in the first area S1 emits light with the first light emission intensity, the area facing the area outside the recognition light sensing circuit 5 is the second area S2, and the backlight 22 in the second area S2 emits light with the second light emission intensity. The product of the first luminous intensity and the light transmittance of the identification light sensing circuit 5 is equal to the second luminous intensity, so that the loss caused by the identification light sensing circuit 5 is compensated, and the uniformity of the brightness of the liquid crystal display panel is improved.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, in order to improve the recognition accuracy, the ranges of the reflected light of the finger received by two adjacent light-transmitting holes 1101 on the contact surface 31 may be at least partially overlapped, so that the recognition light sensing circuit 5 may receive the light reflected by each area of the finger, and the missing fingerprint scanning is avoided. Meanwhile, the light rays penetrating through two adjacent light holes 1101 are spaced from each other in the range of the identification light ray sensing circuit 5, namely, the light rays penetrating through two adjacent light holes 1101 do not have overlapping areas in the irradiation range of the identification light ray sensing circuit 5 on the surface close to the color film layer 11, so that the fingerprint information is prevented from being interfered, and the accuracy of fingerprint identification is ensured.
Further, the area of the corresponding range of the finger reflected light received by any of the light-transmitting holes 1101 on the contact surface 31 is larger than the area of the range of the light transmitted by the light-transmitting holes 1101 on the identification light sensing circuit 5, i.e., S > L in fig. 1 and 2.
The ratio of the distance between the contact surface 31 of the light guide layer 3 and the middle cross section of the light transmission hole 1101 to the distance between the identification light sensing circuit 5 and the middle cross section of the light transmission hole 1101 is not less than
Figure BDA0002112683520000111

At this time, if the identification light sensing circuit 5 is located between the first polarizer 6 and the backlight module 2, the liquid crystal layer 12 may be controlled to adjust the polarization state of the light corresponding to the region of the sensing unit, so that the light reflected by the finger can pass through the first polarizer 6 and reach the sensing unit, and in order to reduce the consumption of the liquid crystal layer 12 to the light, the region of the liquid crystal layer 12 corresponding to the identification light sensing circuit 5 may be in a state of completely transmitting the light reflected by the finger; if the identification light sensing circuit 5 is located between the first polarizer 6 and the display module 1, the liquid crystal layer 12 may not be adjusted, and the light reflected by the finger may directly reach the sensing unit through the liquid crystal layer 12.

Thus, fingerprint recognition can be realized on the liquid crystal display panel.
