In the actual fingerprint identification process, the light d emitted by the sub-pixel 2b far away from the fingerprint identification unit 1 is also received by the fingerprint identification unit 1 after being reflected by the fingerprint, so that signal crosstalk is caused, and the fingerprint identification precision is reduced.
In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a fingerprint identification method for a display panel, where the display panel includes a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array and a plurality of fingerprint identification units arranged in an array, each pixel unit includes a plurality of sub-pixels, and a plurality of sub-pixels are surrounded around each fingerprint identification unit; the fingerprint identification units arranged in an array comprise a plurality of fingerprint identification unit groups, and each fingerprint identification unit group comprises m rows and n columns of fingerprint identification units; fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a fingerprint identification method for a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 2, the fingerprint identification method includes:

The following describes the principle of acquiring a fingerprint identification signal of one fingerprint identification unit (e.g. the fifth fingerprint identification unit, corresponding to i ═ j ═ 2) in a fingerprint identification unit group according to an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to fig. 3. Firstly, all the sub-pixels in the fingerprint identification unit group 30 are controlled to emit light, the fifth fingerprint identification unit 201 collects first fingerprint identification signals S1, and S1 includes effective signals returned by light emitted by eight sub-pixels adjacent to the fifth fingerprint identification unit 201 and crosstalk signals returned by light emitted by other sub-pixels not adjacent to the fifth fingerprint identification unit 201; then, the eight sub-pixels adjacent to the fifth fingerprint identification unit 201 are turned off, the brightness of the other sub-pixels is kept unchanged, the fifth fingerprint identification unit 201 collects the second fingerprint identification signal S2, S2 includes crosstalk signals, S is calculated as S2-S1, and S is taken as the fingerprint identification signal of the fifth fingerprint identification unit. Similarly, every two times of signal acquisition, the fingerprint identification signals for weakening the crosstalk signals are obtained, all the obtained fingerprint identification signals are processed, and the fingerprint identification precision can be effectively improved.
It can be understood that the fingerprint identification unit is used for converting the optical signal into the electrical signal to be output, the reflectivity of the light of the fingerprint valley and the fingerprint ridge is different, and the fingerprint identification units corresponding to different positions can output different signals. The fingerprint recognition unit generally includes a plurality of transistors and a photodiode, for example, a fingerprint recognition unit formed of three transistors and a photodiode (3T1D), and a fingerprint recognition unit formed of four transistors and a photodiode (4T 1D). For example, fig. 4 is a schematic circuit diagram of a 3T1D fingerprint identification unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 4, the fingerprint recognition unit includes a first thin film transistor T1, a second thin film transistor T2, a third thin film transistor T3, a capacitor C, and a photodiode D. A control terminal of the first thin film transistor T1 is electrically connected to a Reset control scan line Reset, a first terminal of the first thin film transistor T1 is electrically connected to a voltage signal line VDD, a second terminal of the first thin film transistor T1 is electrically connected to a cathode of the photodiode D, an anode of the photodiode D is electrically connected to a common voltage signal line Vbias, and a capacitor C is connected in parallel to the photodiode D.

Correspondingly, the fingerprint identification process corresponding to the fingerprint identification unit sequentially comprises a reset stage, a first reading stage and a second reading stage; the first read phase and the second read phase are separated by an integration phase.
Illustratively, fig. 5 is a timing diagram illustrating the operation of the 3T1D fingerprint identification unit shown in fig. 4. Referring to fig. 5, the operation of the fingerprint recognition unit is: in the Reset phase T1, the high level provided by the Reset control scan line Reset controls the first thin film transistor T1 to be turned on, and the voltage on the voltage signal line VDD is transmitted to the Q node through the first thin film transistor T1, so that the potential of the Q node is Reset; in the first reading phase T2, the integration phase T and the second reading phase T3, the first thin film transistor T1 is turned off, the photodiode D generates a leakage current due to illumination, the capacitor C discharges, the potential of the Q node gradually decreases, the second thin film transistor T2 operates in a linear region, the magnitude of the leakage current is proportional to the potential of the Q node, in the first reading phase T2, the third thin film transistor T3 is controlled to be turned on, the voltage provided by the voltage signal line VDD flows to the output signal line Vout through the second thin film transistor T2 and the third thin film transistor T3, the turning-on degree of the second thin film transistor T2 determines the potential on the output signal line Vout, the turning-on degree of the second thin film transistor T2 is determined by the voltage of the Q node, that is the potential of the Q node determines the potential on the output signal line Vout, the voltage value read by the first reading phase T2 on the output signal line Vout is V1, the voltage value on the output signal line Vout read in the second reading phase t3 is V2, then V1-V2 are determined by the magnitude of the leakage current of the photodiode D, and the magnitude of the leakage current of the photodiode D is determined by the intensity of the light received by the photodiode D, so that V2 under different light intensities is different, and during fingerprint detection, the light intensities reflected to the photodiode D are different in different fingerprint areas, so that a signal is obtained by detecting the VI-V2 corresponding to the light sensing unit at each position in the fingerprint identification area.
In this embodiment, the fingerprint identification signal of each fingerprint identification unit is acquired twice through the above process, and then the difference between the two acquired signals is used as the fingerprint identification signal, so that the crosstalk signal is effectively weakened, and the identification accuracy is improved.
According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the difference signal of the first fingerprint identification signal and the second fingerprint identification signal is obtained, wherein the first fingerprint identification signal comprises a fingerprint identification signal (a signal returned by light rays emitted by sub-pixels adjacent to the fingerprint identification unit to be detected) and a crosstalk signal (a signal returned by light rays emitted by sub-pixels in the fingerprint identification unit group not adjacent to the fingerprint identification unit to be detected), the second fingerprint identification signal comprises the crosstalk signal, and the crosstalk signal is filtered from the difference signal, so that the fingerprint identification precision is effectively improved.
On the basis of the above embodiment, optionally, the fingerprint identification operations of a plurality of fingerprint identification unit groups are performed simultaneously.
It can be understood that, when carrying out fingerprint identification, the finger can cover a plurality of fingerprint identification unit groups, in order to improve fingerprint identification speed, the fingerprint identification operation of the fingerprint identification group (for example two non-adjacent fingerprint identification groups of at least one fingerprint identification group in interval, can not mutual interference when each regional interior sub-pixel is luminous) far away apart from the phase distance during the discernment, can design according to actual conditions during the concrete implementation) can go on simultaneously, in order to improve fingerprint identification speed, promote user experience.
Optionally, the display panel further includes a plurality of touch units arranged in an array, and each touch unit covers a plurality of fingerprint identification unit groups; before controlling all sub-pixels in the fingerprint identification unit group to emit light and collecting a first fingerprint identification signal by the ith row and the jth column fingerprint identification units, the method further comprises the following steps:
the coverage area of the touch body is detected through the touch unit.
For example, fig. 6 is a schematic partial structure diagram of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 6, the display panel includes a plurality of touch units 40 arranged in an array, each touch unit 40 is electrically connected to at least one touch electrode line (not shown in fig. 6), each touch unit 40 covers a plurality of fingerprint identification unit groups 30, where fig. 6 exemplarily shows that each touch unit 40 covers 25 (5 rows and 5 columns) fingerprint identification unit groups 30, and each fingerprint identification unit group 30 may be the structure shown in fig. 3, as shown in a partially enlarged schematic diagram on the left side of fig. 6. In the embodiment of the invention, the fingerprint identification unit is arranged in the screen, so that the fingerprint identification efficiency can be improved by firstly detecting the coverage area of the touch main body (such as a finger) through the touch control unit 40 and then only driving the fingerprint identification unit in the finger coverage area to work, so that the condition that all fingerprint identification units scan fingerprint signals during fingerprint identification can be avoided, the fingerprint identification efficiency can be improved, and the power consumption can be reduced.
Optionally, fig. 7 is a schematic flow chart of another fingerprint identification method for a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 7, the fingerprint identification method further includes:
s1, controlling all sub-pixels in the coverage area of one touch unit to emit light, and collecting first fingerprint identification signals by all fingerprint identification units in the coverage area of the touch unit.
It can be understood that, since all the sub-pixels emit light in this step, the first fingerprint identification signal collected by each fingerprint identification unit includes an effective signal and a crosstalk signal, i.e. the first fingerprint identification signal collection process is equivalent to the first fingerprint identification signal collection process of the plurality of fingerprint identification units performing step S110 in the above embodiment at a time.
S2, in at least one group of fingerprint identification unit groups in the coverage area of the touch control unit, sub-pixels adjacent to the ith row and jth column fingerprint identification units do not emit light, other sub-pixels emit light, and the ith row and jth column fingerprint identification units in the at least one group of fingerprint identification unit groups acquire second fingerprint identification signals.
S3, acquiring a first difference signal of the first fingerprint identification signal and the second fingerprint identification signal acquired by the ith row and jth column fingerprint identification unit, wherein the first difference signal is used as the fingerprint identification signal of the ith row and jth column fingerprint identification unit.
S4, the above fingerprint identification operations S2 and S3 are executed in a loop until the fingerprint identification signals of all fingerprint identification units in the coverage area of one touch control unit are obtained.
For example, taking the touch unit shown in fig. 6 as an example, in step S2, the adjacent sub-pixels of the fifth fingerprint identification unit (the fingerprint identification unit of the 2 nd row and the 2 nd column in the fingerprint identification unit group 30) in the 1 st, 3 th and 5 th rows, the 1 st, 3 th and 5 th columns and the 2 nd and 4 th rows and the 2 nd and 4 th columns may be controlled to be turned off, and then the fifth fingerprint identification unit in the fingerprint identification unit group is controlled to collect the second fingerprint identification signal; in step S3, the first fingerprint identification signal and the second fingerprint identification signal corresponding to each fingerprint identification unit are subtracted to form a first difference signal, so as to obtain the fingerprint identification signals acquired by the 13 fingerprint identification units. When step S2 is executed again, the rows 1, 3 and 5, the columns 2 and 4 and the rows 2 and 4 may be controlled to be turned off first, and the adjacent sub-pixel of the fifth fingerprint identification unit in the fingerprint identification unit group 30 of the columns 1, 3 and 5 is controlled to be turned off to obtain the second fingerprint identification signal, and then in step S3, the first fingerprint identification signal and the second fingerprint identification signal corresponding to each fingerprint identification unit are subtracted to obtain the fingerprint identification signals obtained by the other 12 fingerprint identification units (the fifth fingerprint identification unit in each fingerprint identification unit group) in the same touch unit. Similarly, the steps S2 and S3 are executed repeatedly, so as to obtain the fingerprint identification signals of all fingerprint identification units in the coverage area of one touch control unit.
Optionally, the fingerprint identification method provided in the embodiment of the present invention further includes: and executing the steps S1-S4 one by one for each touch unit of the touch main body coverage area until fingerprint identification signals of all fingerprint identification units of the touch main body coverage area are acquired.
It can be understood that, in the implementation, under the condition that the light rays emitted by the sub-pixels do not interfere with each other, the fingerprint identification operation of the fingerprint identification unit covered by the multiple finger touch areas can be simultaneously executed, so as to improve the fingerprint identification speed.
It should be noted that the process of obtaining the fingerprint identification signal by dividing the fingerprint identification unit group and lighting or turning off the sub-pixels in the sub-regions is only illustrative, and in other embodiments, the number of the turned-off sub-pixels during the second fingerprint identification signal acquisition may be adjusted according to actual conditions to acquire more accurate crosstalk data, and may be selected according to actual conditions during specific implementation.
Optionally, in the fingerprint identification process, the brightness of the sub-pixels emitting light in the fingerprint identification unit group is controlled to be 255 gray scales.
It can be understood that the luminance of the sub-pixels varies between the brightest and darkest, and is divided into several parts, and the gray levels represent the gradation levels with different luminance from the darkest to the brightest. The more intermediate levels, the finer the picture effect that can be presented. In the present embodiment, the luminance of the sub-pixel can represent the 8 th power of 2, which is equal to 256 luminance levels, i.e. 256 gray levels (0 gray level to 255 gray levels). The brightness of the sub-pixels which emit light in the fingerprint identification unit group is set to be 255 gray scales, namely the brightest brightness, so that the correspondingly arranged fingerprint identification units receive more light rays, the signal intensity of the fingerprint identification units is correspondingly increased, detection and identification are facilitated, and the accuracy of fingerprint identification is improved.
