The under-screen sensing device 10 includes a display module 11, a receiving module 13, a display driving circuit 15, and a backlight source driving circuit 16. The display module 11 includes a display panel 111 and a backlight module 112 stacked on the display panel 111. The backlight module 112 is configured to provide a visible light beam for the display panel 111 to display an image.

The display panel 111 includes a plurality of pixels P, and the display driving circuit 15 adjusts a display gray scale of the pixels P by adjusting a voltage applied to the pixels P.

The backlight module 112 includes a backlight source 113 and an optical film set 114. The backlight source 113 is located at one side of the optical film set 114. The optical film set 114 is used for converting the visible light beam emitted by the backlight light source 113 into a uniform surface light source, and providing the uniform surface light source below the display panel 111. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the backlight sources 113 may be disposed on different sides of the optical film set 114.

The backlight light source driving circuit 16 is connected to the backlight light source 113, and is configured to drive the backlight light source 113 to emit a visible light beam.

The receiving module 13 is disposed below the backlight module 112, and is configured to receive the detection light beam returned by the external object through the display module 11, convert the detection light beam into a corresponding electrical signal, and obtain the biometric information of the external object according to the electrical signal. Wherein the wavelength of the detection beam is different from the wavelength of the visible beam.

In the present application, the receiving module 13 is described as an optical receiving module, but the receiving module 13 may be other suitable type of module, such as an ultrasonic detecting module, in other embodiments. In addition, the biometric information of the external object obtained from the electrical signal may also be obtained by a processor, and the biometric information is not limited to be obtained by the receiving module 13.

The display module 11 includes an upper surface, which is an outer surface 1190 of the electronic device 1. The electronic device 1 interacts with a user through the outer surface 1190, receives input operations of the user, and the like.

The receiving module 13 has a field angle, and an area of the outer surface 1190 of the electronic device 1 within the field angle of the receiving module 13 is defined as an effective sensing area D. When the receiving module 13 performs biometric information sensing, it senses biometric information of an external object contacting on the effective sensing area D. The effective sensing area D is a local area in the display area of the display module 11.

Optionally, the display module 11 further includes a protective cover 110. The protective cover plate 110 is located on a side of the display panel 111 opposite to the backlight module 112. The protective cover 110 is used to protect the display panel 111 and other elements. The protective cover 110 includes an upper surface and a lower surface disposed opposite to each other. The upper surface of the protective cover 110 is the upper surface of the display module 11 and is also an outer surface 1190 of the electronic device 1. The display panel 111 is disposed on a lower surface side of the protective cover 110. The protective cover sheet 110 may be a multi-layered structure including, for example, a screen protective film to which a user sticks.

In this embodiment, the backlight source 113 in the backlight module 112 is the only light source in the electronic device 1 for providing the display panel 111 with visible light beams. Accordingly, when the backlight source 113 of the backlight module 112 is turned off, the electronic device 1 having the display module 11 is in a screen-off state. At this time, the display area of the display module 11 is black.

Optionally, the under-screen sensing device further comprises a detection unit 17 and a control unit 18. The control unit 18 is connected to the detection unit 17, the display driving circuit 15, the backlight source driving circuit 16, and the receiving module 13. The detecting unit 17 is configured to detect whether there is a preset trigger operation of the user on the electronic device 1 when the electronic device 1 is in a screen-off state, and after the detecting unit 17 detects the preset trigger operation of the user, the control unit 18 controls the backlight source driving circuit 16 to drive the backlight source 113 to be turned on, controls the display driving circuit 15 to drive a part of pixels P of the display panel 111 to display a preset pattern to mark a position of the effective sensing area D, and controls the receiving module 13 to start to perform biometric information sensing. Wherein the preset pattern is, for example but not limited to, a fingerprint pattern. The preset pattern is displayed at the position of the effective sensing area D, for example, but not limited thereto. Accordingly, the user can determine the position of the effective sensing region D, thereby facilitating the biometric recognition operation of the user and, in addition, improving the recognition efficiency of the off-screen sensing apparatus 10.

Optionally, the detecting unit 17 includes a touch screen, the preset triggering operation is a touch operation, and the touch screen is configured to detect whether there is a touch operation when the backlight light source 113 is turned off; or/and the detecting unit 17 comprises an acceleration sensor, the preset triggering operation is to lift the off-screen sensing device 10, and the acceleration sensor is used for detecting whether the off-screen sensing device 10 has a lifted operation when the backlight light source 113 is turned off; or/and the detection unit 17 includes a pressure sensor, the preset trigger operation is a pressing operation, and the pressure sensor is used for detecting whether the pressing operation exists when the backlight light source 113 is turned off.

Optionally, the touch screen is disposed above the display panel 111, or the touch screen is integrated In the display panel 111, including but not limited to an On-cell or In-cell integration manner.

Optionally, the pressure sensor is disposed between the display panel 111 and the backlight module 112, and is configured to sense a pressing operation of a user. However, the pressure sensor may be omitted in some embodiments, as a variant.

In the above embodiment, the receiving module 13 does not perform biometric information sensing during the screen-off state of the electronic device 1. Alternatively, in some variations, the receiving module 13 may also perform the biometric information sensing during the screen-off state of the electronic device 1. Thus, the off-screen sensing device 10 consumes relatively much power.

Alternatively, the pixel P includes, for example but not limited to, a switch T, a pixel electrode E connected to the switch T, and a common electrode C. The switching-on light T is also used for connection with the display driving circuit 15. The pixel electrode E and the common electrode C are used for forming an electric field. The display driving circuit 15 is configured to provide a pixel voltage to the pixel electrode E through the switch T and provide a common voltage to the common electrode C. In the present embodiment, for a pixel P: when the clamping voltage between the pixel electrode E and the common electrode C is 0V, the pixel P is in an off state, and the visible light beams are prevented from passing through. When the absolute value of the voltage between the pixel electrode E and the common electrode C is larger, the transmittance of the pixel P to a visible light beam is higher. However, alternatively, in some other embodiments, the transmittance of the pixel P for the visible light beam may also become smaller as the absolute value of the clamping pressure between the pixel electrode E and the common electrode C is larger.

Optionally, the optical film set 114 includes a reflective sheet 115, a light guide plate 116 positioned above the reflective sheet 115, a diffusion sheet 117 positioned above the light guide plate 116, and a brightness enhancement sheet 118 positioned above the diffusion sheet 117.

The light guide plate 116 includes a light emitting surface 1161 and a bottom surface 1162 which are oppositely disposed, and a light incident surface 1163 connected between the light emitting surface 1161 and the bottom surface 1162. The light emitting surface 1161 faces the diffusion sheet 117. The bottom surface 1162 faces the reflective sheet 115. The backlight light source 113 is disposed adjacent to the light incident surface 1163. The backlight source 113 emits a visible light beam to the inside of the light guide plate 116 through the light incident surface 1163, and the visible light beam is transmitted by the light guide plate 116 and then emitted to the lower side of the display panel 111 from the light emitting surface 1161.

The reflective sheet 115 is used for reflecting the visible light beam emitted from the bottom surface 1162 back to the inside of the light guide plate 116, so as to improve the utilization rate of the visible light beam. In addition, when the receiving module 13 is disposed below the reflective sheet 115, the reflective sheet 115 can transmit the detection beam, and the transmittance of the detection beam is greater than 70%, for example. However, alternatively, when the imaging effect of the receiving module 13 is not affected, the transmittance of the reflective sheet 115 for the detection beam may not be limited to be greater than 70%.

The diffusion sheet 116 is used to diffuse the visible light beam so that the visible light beam is homogenized.

The brightness enhancement sheet 118 is used for converging the visible light beam.

It should be noted that the structure of the side-in type backlight module 112 is one of the implementation manners of the present application, but the side-in type backlight module 112 may also be another suitable structure in some embodiments. For example, the brightness enhancement sheet 118 may be omitted.

The receiving module 13 includes, for example but not limited to, an ultramicrolens (not shown) and an image sensor (not shown) located below the ultramicrolens. The ultramicrolens is used for converging the detection light beam on the image sensor. However, the receiving module 13 may alternatively be another suitable structure, for example, the micro lens 131 is replaced by another suitable ultra-thin lens structure.

Optionally, the detection beam returned via the external object includes, for example and without limitation, a detection beam reflected or/and transmitted by the external object. The detection beam is, for example, but not limited to, near infrared light. The wavelength range of the near infrared light is 750nm to 2000 nm. In some embodiments, the wavelength of the near infrared light is 850nm or 940 nm.

The under-screen sensing device 10 further includes an emitting module 12, and the emitting module 12 is disposed below the backlight module 112, for example but not limited to. The emitting module 12 is connected to the control unit 18, and is configured to emit the detection beam to the external object through the display module 11. The external object reflects the detection beam back to the receiving module 13, or/and the detection beam enters the external object, and after transmission, the detection beam is transmitted out to the receiving module 13 from the side of the external object facing the effective sensing area D.

However, alternatively, in some embodiments, the transmitting module 12 may be omitted.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, the receiving module 13 may be disposed inside the display module 11, for example, inside the display panel 111. When the receiving module 13 is disposed inside the display panel 111, at least a part of the structure of the receiving module 13, such as but not limited to, being integrated in the pixel P, is different from the structure of the receiving module 13 described in the above embodiment, and thus, may be possible. In addition, the emitting module 12 can also be located at any suitable position such as the side of the display panel 111 or the backlight module 112.

The backlight light source 113 includes a plurality of light emitting units 1131. In this embodiment, the backlight light source driving circuit 16 drives the plurality of light emitting units 1131 to be simultaneously turned on or causes the plurality of light emitting units 1131 to be simultaneously turned off.

When the electronic device 1 is in the off-screen state, when the detection unit 17 detects a preset trigger operation of the user on the electronic device 1, the control unit 18 controls the backlight light source 113 to start to light. However, these triggering operations may often occur unintentionally, i.e. misoperation, during the process of carrying the electronic device 1 by the user, if each misoperation occurs, the backlight light source 113 of the backlight module 112 of the electronic device 1 is switched from the off state to the on state, which results in large power consumption of the electronic device 1, and the battery life and standby capability of the battery are weakened, which results in poor user experience.

In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problem that the power consumption of the electronic device 1 is large due to the fact that the plurality of light-emitting units 1131 need to be turned on by an erroneous operation when the electronic device 1 is in the screen-off state, the inventor proposes the under-screen sensing device 20 according to the following second embodiment of the present application.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a partial block diagram of a second embodiment of an off-screen sensing device of an electronic device 1 according to the present application. The underscreen sensing device 20 of the second embodiment is substantially the same as the underscreen sensing device 10 of the first embodiment, and the two main differences are that: when the electronic device 1 is in the screen-off state and the detection unit 27 detects a preset trigger operation of the electronic device 1 by a user, the control unit 28 controls the backlight light source driving circuit 26 to drive part of the light emitting units 2131 in the backlight light source 213 to emit light. Accordingly, the backlight module 212 may provide the display panel 211 with the visible light beam for displaying the predetermined pattern.

Preferably, the part of the light emitting units 2131 is adjacent to the effective sensing area D of the receiving module 23 on the outer surface 2190 of the electronic device 1, compared with the rest of the light emitting units 2131 in the backlight source 213.

When the electronic device 1 needs to display an image in the whole display area, the backlight source driving circuit 26 drives the light emitting units 2131 in the backlight source 213 to emit light.

Compared with the under-screen sensing device 10, when the electronic device 1 is in the screen-off state and the detecting unit 27 detects the preset triggering operation of the user on the electronic device 1, the under-screen sensing device 20 only needs to highlight the light-emitting unit 2131, so that the power consumption of the electronic device 1 can be saved, and the purposes of saving power and the like are achieved.

For clarity, the light emitting units 2131 in the backlight light source 213 are divided into two groups. The two groups of light emitting units are a first group of light emitting units L1 and a second group of light emitting units L2. Wherein the partial light emitting unit is the second group light emitting unit L2. The second group of light emitting cells L2 is closer to the effective sensing region D than the first group of light emitting cells L1.

When the electronic device 1 is in the screen-off state and the detecting unit 27 detects a preset trigger operation of the electronic device 1 by the user, the backlight source driving circuit 26 starts to drive the second group of light-emitting units L2 to emit light, and the first group of light-emitting units L1 keeps in the off state.

When the electronic device 1 needs to display an image in the entire display area, the backlight driving circuit 26 drives both the first group of light-emitting cells L1 and the second group of light-emitting cells L2 to emit light.

In an embodiment, after the backlight source 213 is turned off, when the detection unit 27 detects a preset touch operation of the electronic device 1 by a user, the control unit 28 controls the backlight source driving circuit 26 to drive the second group of light emitting units L2 to be turned on and controls the display driving circuit 25 to drive the display panel 211 to display the preset pattern, and also controls the receiving module 23 to perform biometric information sensing.

In addition, during the process that the second group of light emitting units L2 is turned on and the receiving module 23 performs sensing of biometric information, the display panels 211 all display the same preset pattern or different preset patterns.

In order to be able to further save power consumption, the inventors propose another embodiment, as follows.

After the detection unit 27 detects a preset touch operation of the user on the electronic device 1, the control unit 28 controls the backlight source driving circuit 26 to drive the second group of light-emitting units L2 to be turned on and controls the display driving circuit 25 to drive the display panel 211 to display the preset pattern, and further controls the receiving module 23 to perform a pre-start at a first power consumption instead of starting to perform biometric information sensing at a second power consumption. Wherein the first power consumption is less than the second power consumption.

When the off-screen sensing device 20 includes the transmitting module 22, the transmitting module 22 does not operate when the control unit 28 controls the receiving module 23 to perform pre-start with the first power consumption.

Next, when the touch screen or the pressure sensor detects the touch or the press of the user on the effective sensing area D, the control unit 28 controls the transmitting module 22 to start transmitting the detection beam to the external object and controls the receiving module 23 to start performing the biometric information sensing with the second power consumption.

Since the transmitting module 22 does not operate when the second group of light emitting units L2 is turned on, the receiving module 23 is pre-started with low power consumption, so that not only can the purpose of saving power consumption be achieved, but also preparation can be made in advance for the receiving module 23 to start to operate with the second power consumption.

Optionally, the brightness of the preset pattern displayed by the display module 21 when the receiving module 23 operates with the first power consumption is smaller than the brightness of the preset pattern displayed by the display module 21 when the receiving module 23 operates with the second power consumption. Thereby achieving power saving. In addition, the preset pattern displayed by the display module 21 when the receiving module 23 operates with the first power consumption may be different from the preset pattern displayed by the display module 21 when the receiving module 23 operates with the second power consumption.

The brightness of the visible light beam provided to the display panel 211 by the second group of light-emitting cells L2 when the receiving module 23 operates with the first power consumption is less than the brightness of the visible light beam provided to the display panel 211 by the second group of light-emitting cells L2 when the receiving module 23 operates with the second power consumption.

In another embodiment, after the detecting unit 27 detects a preset touch operation of the electronic device 1 by the user, the control unit 28 does not operate the emitting module 22 and the receiving module 23 when controlling the backlight source driving circuit 26 to drive the second group of light-emitting units L2 to be turned on and controlling the display driving circuit 25 to drive the display panel 211 to display the preset pattern.

Next, when the touch screen or the pressure sensor detects the touch or the press of the user on the effective sensing area D, the control unit 28 controls the transmitting module 22 to start transmitting the detection beam to the external object and controls the receiving module 23 to start performing the sensing of the biometric information.

Optionally, the brightness of the preset pattern displayed by the display module 21 when the second group of light-emitting units L2 is turned on but the receiving module 23 is not operated is less than the brightness of the preset pattern displayed by the display module 21 when the second group of light-emitting units L2 is turned on and the receiving module 23 is operated. Thereby achieving power saving. In addition, the preset pattern displayed by the display module 21 when the second group of light-emitting units L2 is turned on but the receiving module 23 is not operated may be different from the preset pattern displayed by the display module 21 when the second group of light-emitting units L2 is turned on and the receiving module 23 is operated.

The brightness of the visible light beam provided to the display panel 211 by the second group of light-emitting cells L2 when the receiving module 23 is not operated is less than the brightness of the visible light beam provided to the display panel 211 by the second group of light-emitting cells L2 when the receiving module 23 is operated.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, in the under-screen sensing device 20, after the first group of light-emitting units L1 of the backlight module 212 is turned off, the second group of light-emitting units L2 keeps on, and the display panel 211 displays a preset pattern. In this embodiment, the electronic apparatus 1 does not need to be touched or pressed or lifted by the user as a preset trigger operation. When the first group of light emitting units L1 of the backlight source 213 of the backlight module 212 is turned off, most of the display area of the electronic device 1 is black, and the position of the predetermined pattern is light emitting.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first group of light-emitting units L1 of the backlight source 213 is turned on when the display panel 211 displays a full screen, and at this time, the second group of light-emitting units L2 is not turned on. The second group light emitting cell L2 starts to be lighted after the first group light emitting cell L1 is turned off. Alternatively, after the first group of light-emitting units L1 is turned off, when the detection unit 28 detects a trigger operation of a user, the control unit 28 controls the backlight source driving circuit 26 to drive the second group of light-emitting units L2 to start lighting.

Alternatively, in each of the above embodiments, the second group light-emitting unit L2 includes a plurality of light-emitting units 2131, and the plurality of light-emitting units 2131 in the second group light-emitting unit L2 may be turned on in a time-sharing manner or simultaneously.

Alternatively, the number of the light emitting units 2131 in the second group of light emitting units L2 may be one.

In the above-described embodiments, the off-screen sensing devices 10, 20 are, for example, fingerprint sensing devices for performing fingerprint sensing.
