Referring to fig. 11, in a modified embodiment of the biometric sensing system 4, the light-blocking film 418 covers the top surface of the light guide plate 413, or the light-blocking film 418 is disposed corresponding to the display area of the display device 40. The photoresist diaphragm 418 has an opening 4181, and the angle of view of the opening 4181 is consistent with the range of the field area formed on the top surface of the light guide plate 413 by the imaging light beam 402 received by the detection module 49. The field of view region is a region surrounded by a field angle with the detection module 49 as a vertex on the top surface of the light guide plate 413 or a field of view region of the detection module 49 on the top surface of the light guide plate 413.

The imaging beam 402 can reach the detection module 49 through the opening 4181, and the reflected interference beam of the detection beam 401 is absorbed or reflected by the photoresist diaphragm 418, so that the photoresist diaphragm 418 effectively reduces or eliminates the adverse effect of the reflected interference beam of the detection beam 401 on the optical imaging performed by the detection module 49 receiving the imaging beam 402.

Referring to fig. 12, in a modified embodiment of the biometric detection system 4, the display panel 42 further includes an anti-reflection film 429 disposed below the terminal area 4211. The anti-reflective film 429 is configured to transmit the detection beam 401. The detection beam 401 is substantially free from reflection when it passes through the anti-reflective film 429, thereby effectively reducing the reflected interference beam of the detection beam 401. Further alternatively, the anti-reflection film 429 may be disposed above the light shielding glue 416, which may be regarded as a part of the backlight module 41.

Alternatively, the display device 40 may include both the photoresist diaphragm 418 and the anti-reflection film 429, or only one of them.
