第3圖係用以顯示拍攝指紋等以凹凸顯示之資訊之影 像時讀取裝置1之動作者。而,與第1圖所示之構成要件相 15 同之構成要件則標以相同符號,並省略說明。 首先,以讀取裝置1取得指紋等以凹凸顯示之資訊之影 像的情形為例進行說明。 首先,點亮第1LED13。來自第1LED13之光線由聚光 部15聚光後,射入第1導光機構17。 20 射入第1導光機構17之光線於第1導光機構17中朝第3 圖中X軸方向直進,並於第1導光機構17之設於第3圖中左側 之全反射面40全反射後,大致垂直地(第3圖中Y軸方向) 射入稜鏡部18。射入棱鏡部18之光線由稜鏡部之射出面之 凹凸讀取面33射出。 16 200403596 藉該構成,如第3圖所示,例如當手指63接觸稜鏡部18 之凹凸讀取面33時,手指63與凹凸讀取面33緊貼之部分, 即形成指紋隆起線之凸部分光會散亂。 另一方面,與凹凸讀取面33分開而形成指紋谷線之凹 5部分光散亂較少。 手指63緊貼凹凸讀取部33之部分,即指紋之凸部分散 亂之光線中,相對凹凸讀取面33之鉛直方向,第3圖中r方 向之成分由棱鏡部18穿透第2導光機構19後,由半透鏡25反 射。由半透鏡25反射之光線會由GRIN透鏡23聚光,並由全 10 反射機構24全反射後,射入拍攝元件32。又,本實施形態 中’ T為45°

如第4圖所示’進行讀取之原稿34朝向讀取裝置1之原 稿讀取部21配置時,自讀取裝置丨射出之光線會照射至原稿 34 〇 原稿34上’黑色印刷之部分,即濃淡較濃之部分會吸 15 收光線。另一方面,白色印刷之部分,即濃淡較淡之部分 光線會擴散反射。於原稿34擴散反射之光線中,部分光線 會再次自原稿讀取部21射入讀取裝置1,並穿透第4導光機 構20及第2導光機構18,而由GRIN透鏡23聚光後,由全反 射機構24全反射並射入拍攝元件32。 20 藉此,除前述指紋等以凹凸顯示之資訊外,可以拍攝 元件32拍攝文字或圖形等以濃淡顯示之原稿34上之資訊。 如此一來,藉本實施形態之讀取裝置1,乃可實現一藉 使用半透鏡25來使來自2個不同方向之光線配光於同一方 向之構成,因此可控制使來自2個不同光源之反射光射入1 18 200403596 個光學系統(GRIN透鏡)並加以拍攝。藉此,可以各自之 光學系統將2個反射光聚光之構成,且將讀取裝置丨於丫軸方 向輕薄化。再者,可將2個光路,即第1導光機構17與第3導 光機構22,甚至GRIN透鏡23之光軸平行配置,以使讀取裝 5 置1於Y軸方向更加輕薄化。 而,本實施形態之讀取裝置1中,為拍攝來自2個不同 面之反射光,乃使GRIN透鏡23之共役長與2個光路之光路 長一致。以下,將詳細說明。 本實施形態之讀取裝置1於第3或第4圖中,滿足grin 1〇

即可。 故,第3或第4圖中,各媒介物中之實際光路長與各媒 介物之折射率之關係只要設計成: 20 (Ll/Nl) +(L2/N2) =(L3/N3) +(L4/N4) + (L5/l.〇) 即可(惟,稜鏡部18中之光路長:LI,折射率:Nl ;第2 導光機構19中之光路長:L2,折射率·· N2,第4導光機構 20中之光路長·· L3,折射率:N3,原稿讀取部21中之光路 長:L4,折射率:N4

[Mode] Best Mode for Implementing the Invention (First Embodiment) Fig. 1 is a sectional view showing the structure of a reading device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 (a) is a perspective view showing the appearance, and Fig. 2 (b) 13 200403596 is a plan view. In each figure, for the sake of explanation, the three directions of XYZ are shown. In the first figure, the item taking device 1 of this embodiment has a first substrate 11 provided with a first LED 13, a second substrate 12 provided with an imaging element 32 and a second LED 14 and bonded to the 5 first substrate 11, and The optical element described later has shielding members 28 to 31 for preventing light leakage and preventing light leakage from the optical element. As the imaging element 32, a known sensor such as a CMOS sensor or a CCD sensor can be used. In this embodiment, a 256 × 16 pixel CMOS sensor is used. In the reading device 1, the optical element is made of a well-known optical material such as acrylic, polycarbonate, or glass, and has a light source capable of inducing light from the first LED 13 to the crotch 18. A light guide mechanism 17 (hereinafter referred to as the first light guide mechanism), a light guide mechanism 19 (hereinafter referred to as the second light guide mechanism) that can induce light from the crotch 18 to the half lens 25, and a light guide mechanism 15 The light of 2LED14 is induced to the light guide mechanism 22 (hereinafter referred to as the third light guide mechanism) of the original reading section 21 and a light guide mechanism 20 (hereinafter referred to as the fourth light guide mechanism) formed by the half lens 25. The first light guide mechanism 17 is provided with a full reflection surface 40 on the emission side (left side in the figure). In the reading device of this embodiment} *, the angle α formed by the total reflection surface 40 and the traveling direction of the light ray 20 (the x-axis direction in Fig. 1) is 45. . In addition, the total reflection surface 40 of the first light guide mechanism 17 can also use a light guide plate such as a linear Fresnel, a diffuser, or a refraction cricket to distribute the light direction from the χ-axis direction in the first figure to the y-axis direction. mechanism. In addition, the optical element further includes a crotch portion 18 for photographing fingerprints, brailles, and other poor information with 14 asperities and having an asperity reading surface 33 that can be contacted with a subject (such as a finger), and _ 可 于The minuscule text or graphic material is composed of small and well-known optical materials, such as plastic, which is oriented toward the subject (such as the original) in a light and shaded manner, and the original reading section Ή. Further, the reading device 1 includes a refractive index distribution lens (machin name) made of a highly-transparent plastic material having a condensing effect for condensing light on the imaging element 32. GRIN lens) 23 &amp; A total reflection mechanism 24 with a total reflection surface coated with total reflection to bend the optical path. Total reflection mechanism 24 continues next! The substrate Uj ^ is formed by a known method. It is preferable that the crotch portion 18 and the second light guide mechanism 19 be configured to maintain optical contact with each other so that the transmittance can be improved. In addition, the second light guide mechanism 19 and the fourth light guide mechanism 20 are 6 to 5 with respect to the axial direction in the figure. The angle (厶) is formed with a half lens 25. It is also preferable that the second light guide mechanism 19 and the GRIN lens 23 are connected to each other so as to maintain optical closeness. Furthermore, it is desirable that the original reading section 21 and the fourth light guiding mechanism 20 are connected so as to maintain optical contact with each other so as to improve the transmittance. Furthermore, in order to prevent light leakage, the first light guide mechanism 1: the interface contacted by the GRIN lens 23, the GRIN lens 23, the second light guide mechanism 19, and the fourth light guide mechanism 20 are in contact with the third light guide mechanism 22. The interface is preferably painted in black. The shielding members 28 to 31 are made of a well-known material such as plastic or rubber. The shielding members 28 to 31 are preferably composed of a material having a function of absorbing light or a black material. On the emitting sides of the first LED 13 and the second LED 14, light condensing units 15 and 16 having a capacitive function, such as a phenanthrene lens for condensing light, may also be provided. In this way, 200403596 can effectively concentrate the light from the first LED13 and the second LED14. The size of the reading device 1 in this embodiment is L = 10.2mm, Hl = 3.85mm, and H2 = 3.00mm in the first figure, and W = 16mm in the second figure. Miniaturization for portable information devices such as telephone equipment. As shown in FIG. 2, in the reading device 1 of this embodiment, the width in the X-axis direction of the uneven reading surface 33 and the width in the Y-axis direction of the original reading section 21 are narrower than the size of the original or the finger. Information such as bumps and text or graphics with light and shade information can be shot continuously and then combined for 10 times to capture the entire image. Next, the operation of the reading device 1 according to this embodiment will be described. In the following, for the sake of explanation, the light is described with the light at the center of the optical axis. Fig. 3 is a view showing an operator of the reading device 1 when taking an image of information such as fingerprints, which is displayed in a concave-convex manner. In addition, the same constituent elements as those shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted. First, a case where the reading device 1 acquires an image of information such as a fingerprint displayed as unevenness will be described as an example. First, the first LED 13 is turned on. The light from the first LED 13 is condensed by the condensing unit 15 and then enters the first light guide mechanism 17. 20 The light incident on the first light guide mechanism 17 enters the first light guide mechanism 17 in the X-axis direction in FIG. 3 and goes straight to the total reflection surface 40 of the first light guide mechanism 17 on the left side in FIG. 3. After total reflection, it enters the crotch portion 18 approximately vertically (in the Y-axis direction in FIG. 3). The light incident on the prism portion 18 is emitted from the uneven reading surface 33 of the exit surface of the crotch portion. 16 200403596 With this configuration, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, when the finger 63 contacts the uneven reading surface 33 of the crotch 18, the portion where the finger 63 and the uneven reading surface 33 are in close contact, that is, the convexity of the fingerprint ridge is formed. Part of the light will be scattered. On the other hand, the part of the recess that is separated from the uneven reading surface 33 to form a fingerprint valley line has less light scattering. The part of the finger 63 that is in close contact with the uneven reading portion 33, that is, the scattered light of the convex portion of the fingerprint, is opposite to the vertical direction of the uneven reading surface 33. The component in the r direction in FIG. 3 penetrates the second guide by the prism portion 18. Behind the light mechanism 19, it is reflected by the half lens 25. The light reflected by the half lens 25 is condensed by the GRIN lens 23, and is totally reflected by the total reflection mechanism 24, and then enters the imaging element 32. In this embodiment, 'T is 45 °, and r is preferably greater than the critical angle of the material constituting the prism portion 18. With this effect, the raised line portion formed by the convex surface of the fingerprint will be photographed as white (higher brightness), while the valley line portion formed by the concave surface will be photographed as black (15 degrees brighter). In addition, the surface of the crotch portion 18 in FIG. 3 shown by a in the lower right of the figure is used to absorb light by, for example, black coating, so that the portion of the uneven reading surface 33 that is not in contact with the finger 63 can capture A. The surface is black, so you can get an image with good contrast and composed of irregularities such as fingerprints. 20 Furthermore, the face shown by B and C in Figure 3 as shown in Figure 3 uses black paint to absorb light, which reduces the adverse effects of glare or outdoor sunlight. Therefore, it is possible to improve Contrast of images. Next, a description will be given with reference to FIG. 4 of an operation when a reading device, such as text or graphics, is used to capture information composed of light and shade. 17 200403596 Figure 4 is used to explain the action of the reader when the reading device according to the embodiment of the present invention captures information displayed in shades such as text or graphics. In the fourth picture, when the information displayed in light and shade is captured, the second LED 14 is turned on. After the light irradiated from the second LED 14 is condensed by the light condensing section 16, the light that enters the third light guide mechanism 22 and enters the third light guide mechanism 22 is provided on the exit side of the third light guide mechanism 22 (FIG. 4) The function of the refracting surface 27 on the left side is refracted toward the upper side of FIG. 4 and emitted. The light emitted from the third light guide 22 passes through the document reading section 21 and is emitted from the item picking device 1. Alas, the angle of the refracting surface 27 needs to be changed according to the distance from the original, and it can be appropriately designed so that light can be irradiated on the original for reading 10 position. As shown in FIG. 4 'When the original 34 to be read is arranged toward the original reading section 21 of the reading device 1, the light emitted from the reading device 丨 will be irradiated to the original 34. The' black printed portion 'on the original 34, That is, the denser part will absorb 15 rays of light. On the other hand, in the white printed part, that is, the lighter part, the light will diffuse and reflect. Among the diffusely reflected light of the original document 34, part of the light will enter the reading device 1 again from the original reading section 21, penetrate the fourth light guide mechanism 20 and the second light guide mechanism 18, and be focused by the GRIN lens 23. Then, it is totally reflected by the total reflection mechanism 24 and is incident on the imaging element 32. 20 In this way, in addition to the above-mentioned information displayed by the fingerprints and the like as unevenness, the image capturing element 32 can capture the information on the original 34, such as text or graphics, displayed in light and shade. In this way, by using the reading device 1 of this embodiment, a configuration can be realized in which light from two different directions is distributed in the same direction by using a half lens 25, so that the light from two different light sources can be controlled. The reflected light was incident on 1 18 200403596 optical systems (GRIN lenses) and photographed. Thereby, two reflection lights can be condensed by their respective optical systems, and the reading device can be made thinner in the Y-axis direction. Furthermore, two optical paths, that is, the first light guide mechanism 17 and the third light guide mechanism 22, and even the optical axis of the GRIN lens 23 may be arranged in parallel, so that the reading device 1 can be made lighter and thinner in the Y-axis direction. In addition, in the reading device 1 of this embodiment, in order to capture reflected light from two different surfaces, the co-operative length of the GRIN lens 23 and the optical path length of the two optical paths are made the same. This will be described in detail below. The reading device 1 of this embodiment satisfies the relationship between the joint length TC of the grin 10 lens 23 and the optical path length of P1 to P4 to P3 = P2 to P4 to P3. Here, P1 is the center point of the optical axis of the light irradiated on the embossed reading surface 33, P2 is the center point of the optical axis of the light irradiated on the object to be read (original document 34), and P3 is the point of incidence on the imaging element 32 The center point of the optical axis of light rays, P4 is the center point of the optical axis of light rays entering the half lens 25. 15 Since the optical paths of P3 to P4 (from the imaging element 32 to the half lens 25) are longer than the two optical paths, it is only necessary to satisfy the relationship of the optical path lengths of P4 to P1 = P2 to P4. Therefore, in Figure 3 or 4, the relationship between the actual optical path length of each medium and the refractive index of each medium is designed as: 20 (Ll / Nl) + (L2 / N2) = (L3 / N3) + (L4 / N4) + (L5 / l.〇) is sufficient (but, the light path length in the crotch part 18: LI, refractive index: Nl; the light path length in the second light guide 19: L2, refractive index · N2, the optical path length in the fourth light guiding mechanism 20. L3, the refractive index: N3, the optical path length in the original reading section 21: L4, the refractive index: N4; the optical path between the original reading section 21 and the original 34 Length: 19 200403596 L5, refractive index: N5 (= 1.0)). On the other hand, in the reading device 1 according to the present embodiment, the common length TC of the GRIN lens 23 is 10.2 mm (for a light source of 570 nm). In this embodiment, BK7 (refractive index: n1 = N2 = N3) of ordinary optical glass materials can be used for the material of the crotch portion 18, the second light guiding mechanism 19, the fourth light guiding mechanism 20, and the original reading portion 21. = N4 = 1.5171), so in this embodiment, the optical path of the appearance is long:

The length is equal to the length of the GRIN lens 23, so that the reading device 1 of this embodiment, regardless of the information of the original document 34 arranged separately from the original document reading unit 21, is composed of the light and shade information 15 and the fingerprint contacts the uneven reading surface 33. Information such as bumps can capture images that are in focus, contrast, and sharp. However, the difference between the length of the GRIN lens 23 and the length of the two optical paths is only within the subjective depth of the length of the GRIN lens 23, such as about + 0.5mm, and there will be no practical problems. 20 In the reading device 1 of this embodiment, if the wavelengths of the first LED 13 and the second LED 14 are different from each other, and a band-pass filter corresponding to the wavelength of the first LED 13 is arranged between the crotch 18 and the second light guiding mechanism 19 And a band-pass filter with a wavelength corresponding to the second LED 14 is arranged between the original reading section 21 and the fourth light guiding mechanism 20 or between the fourth light guiding mechanism 20 and the half lens 25, and then an external light can be obtained. 20 200403596 Such as the image of the information displayed in light and shade and the information displayed in bumps with little influence and good contrast. Moreover, the switching of reading information can be easily performed by switching the light source that is lit, that is, the first LED13 and the second LED14. 5 As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, in the reading device 1 of this embodiment, the uneven reading surface 33 and the surface of the original reading section 21 are structured at right angles to each other. With this configuration, it is possible to provide an information device which is convenient for a user when the reading device 1 is mounted on an information device such as a mobile phone device. Fig. 5 shows an example of an information device 10 such as a mobile phone device equipped with the reading device 1 described above.

As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the external exposed portion of the mobile phone device 50 includes the uneven reading surface 33 of the crotch portion 18 and the original reading portion 21, and the original reading portion 21 is located in the frame of the mobile telephone device 50. Inside. 20 This structure will be described in more detail. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a main part of a part of the reading device 1 on which the mobile phone device 50 is mounted. In FIG. 6, the reading device i is housed in the housing 43 of the mobile phone device 50. As described above, the exposed portion includes the uneven reading surface 33 of the crotch portion 18 and the original reading portion 21. Furthermore, the position of the outer side of the frame 43 is arranged at a position which coincides with one of the GRIN lenses 23 of the reading device 1 at P2. Miscellaneous 34 images. With this configuration, since the focal point of the original 34 is fixed, it is possible to shoot a stable image with a high focus ratio and prevent damage to the original reading section 21 at the same time. Further, the prism portion 18 is made to slightly protrude from the outer surface of the housing 43 of the mobile phone device 50. In Fig. 6, the size of 3.85mm is used, and by virtue of this structure, the thickness of the drop spider &amp;# 一 1 心 贝 1 and the device 1 that are housed inside the frame 43 are very thin (H2 = 3. ) () mm) 'is easy to mount on mobile phone devices that have become thinner and thinner in recent years. Also, by using the reading device of the present invention, it is possible to separately read the uneven surface such as fingerprints and the reading surface of information displayed in shades such as text or graphics, because for users, it can provide-very easy to use Information device. And, as shown in FIG. 5, a reading surface for reading information such as fingerprints is formed on the side where the mobile phone is cracked, and a reading surface such as text or graphics is set below the mobile phone 50.

(Second Embodiment)-Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Fig. 7 is a sectional view showing the structure of a reading device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. 22 200403596 In addition, among the constituent elements of the reading device 61 of this embodiment, the constituent elements having a rollover as shown in the second embodiment are the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted. In the reading device 61 of this embodiment, since the reading method of information displayed in shades such as text or graphics is the same as that described in the first embodiment, the description is omitted. In the reading device 61, the reading method of information such as fingerprints displayed as irregularities is different from the reading device 1 described in the first embodiment.

第1實施形態說明之讀取裝置丨中,讀取與其稜鏡部18 10之凹凸讀取面33接觸之指紋等以凹凸顯示之資訊時,係對 凹凸項取面33以垂直方向照射光後,檢測指紋等之凸面與 凹凸讀取部33接觸之部分之散亂光。In the reading device described in the first embodiment, when reading information displayed as irregularities, such as fingerprints, which are in contact with the uneven reading surface 33 of the central part 18 and 10, the light is irradiated on the uneven surface taking surface 33 in a vertical direction. , Detecting scattered light at a portion where a convex surface of a fingerprint or the like is in contact with the uneven reading portion 33.

另一方面,本實施形態之讀取裝置61中,讀取與其稜 鏡部18之凹凸讀取面33接觸之指紋等以凹凸顯示之資訊 15 時,則對凹凸讀取面33以入射角度超過臨界角以上來照射 要射入之全反射光線,並自指紋等之凸面與凹凸讀取面33 接觸之部分的散亂光中,檢測對凹凸讀取面33朝垂直方向 散亂之成分。 更詳細說明,自第1LED13照射之光線透過聚光部15聚 20 光後,射入由支撐構件69所支撐之第1導光機構67。第1導 光機構67中,光線朝第7圖中X軸方向直進,並於全反射面 90全反射後,射入稜鏡部丨8。 而,本實施形態之讀取裝置61中,由於使全反射面90 相對第7圖中X軸方向呈22.5。之角度,因此會以45。之角 23 200403596 度射入凹凸讀取面33。 於稜鏡部18,係以超過臨界角(BK7中約41。)之入 射角度射入凹凸讀取面33,因此若沒有與凹凸讀取面33接 觸之物時,所有光線會反射,射入第7圖中以左下之D所示 5 之面。使D所示之面可吸收光,例如預先進行黑色塗裝,以 使光線於D面被吸收。 凹凸讀取面33接觸到具有凹凸之物,例如手指63時, 其凸部與凹凸讀取面33光學密著之部分中,光線不會全反 射,而會擴散反射。擴散反射之光線中,第7圖之負γ軸方 10向之成分會於支撐構件70所支撐之第4導光機構81表面上 形成之半透鏡85反射’於GRIN透鏡23聚光,並以全反射機 構24全反射後,射入拍攝元件32,藉此將凸部分拍的較白 (亮度高),而將凹部分拍的較黑(亮度低)。 而,本實施形態之讀取裝置61中,係使半透鏡85相對 15第7圖中X軸方向呈45。之角度。而,支撐構件7〇可使用諸 如塑膠或橡膠等眾所皆知之材料。 當然,本實施形態之讀取裝置61亦與第丨實施形態之讀 取裝置1相同,GRIN透鏡23之共役長與拍攝以凹凸顯示之 資汛日^之光路長及拍攝以濃淡顯示之資訊時之光路長相 20同。換言之,第7圖中,由凹凸讀取面33上之點P1透過半透 鏡85面上之點P4到拍攝元件32上之點p3的光路長與由原稿 上34上之點P2透過半透鏡85面上之點P4到拍攝元件32上之 點P3的光路長,以及GRIN透鏡幻之共役長相等。 而,就實用性來說,2個光路長與grin透鏡23之共役 24 200403596 長偏差以被攝界深度以内’如約± 〇.5mm左右為佳。 使用前述讀取裝置61之構成中,對比良好之影像資訊 亦可取得文字或圖形等以濃淡顯示之資訊及指紋等以凹凸 顯示之資訊的2個不同屬性之資訊。 5 而,讀取資说之切換可猎切換點党之光源,即第 1LED13及第2LED14來簡單地進行。 (第3實施形態) 接著,說明本發明第3實施形態。第8圖為顯示本發明 第3實施形態之讀取裝置之構成的剖面圖。第9圖為其概略 10 立體圖。 本實施形態之讀取裝置71中,LED配置之位置,以及 可以光導向器代替第1導光機構17與第3導光機構22之構 成,與第1實施形態之讀取裝置1及第2實施形態之讀取裝置 61相異。如第9圖所示,第1LED96及第2LED97係構造成安 15 裝於讀取裝置71之側面,朝圖中Z軸方向照射光線。 藉讀取裝置71,拍攝指紋等以凹凸顯示之資訊時,係 使第1LED96照射。第8圖或第9圖中,照射於Z軸方向之光 線藉光導向器93使方向改變為Y軸方向。而,光導向器93 可使用諸如用於LCD顯示器等眾所皆知之擴散板、導光板 20 或折射格子等。 藉光導向器93使其方向改變為Y軸方向之光線以垂直 方向(Y軸方向)射入稜鏡部18。之後,可如第1實施形態 所述者相同地拍攝指紋等以凹凸顯示之資訊。稜鏡部18由 支撐構件92支撐。支撐構件92可使用諸如塑膠或橡膠等眾 25 200403596 所皆知之材料。 接著,讀取裝置71中,拍攝(讀取)文字或圖形等以 濃淡顯示之資訊時,係使第2LED97照射。第8圖及第9圖 中,照射於Z軸方向之光線,藉光導向器94使方向改變為X 5 軸方向,並以線性菲涅耳等配光機構95朝第8圖中向下折射 後,照射原稿34。原稿34之散亂光由GRIN透鏡23聚光並以 拍攝元件32拍攝。這與第1實施形態之讀取裝置1及第2實施 形態之讀取裝置61相同。 該光導向器94可使用諸如用於LCD顯示器等眾所皆知 10 之擴散板、導光板或折射格子等。 如此,藉本實施形態之讀取裝置71,可與第1實施形態 之讀取裝置1及第2實施形態之讀取裝置61相同地拍攝以文 字或圖形等以濃淡顯示之資訊及指紋等以凹凸顯示之資 訊。 15 再者,本實施形態之讀取裝置71係構造成不使用第1 導光機構及第3導光機構,而是將LED配置於裝置之側面而 使用光導向器,藉此可實現資訊裝置之進一步輕薄化。 本實施形態之讀取裝置71中,可使L=9.95mm、 Hl=3.85mm、H2=2.7mm,且,使第8圖中Η所示之部分的 20 厚度為H=2.00mm。如此,使第8圖中Η所示之部分變薄、中 間細,藉此可實現一將讀取裝置71安裝於行動電話裝置等 時易於決定位置等之構成。 (第4實施形態) 第10圖為顯示本發明第4實施形態之讀取裝置之構成 26 的剖面圖。第11圖為其立體圖。以下之圖式中,為便於說 明,乃記載有XYZ之3軸方向。 第10圖中,本實施形態之讀取裝置101於同一基板112 上配置有LED等第1光源部102與第2光源部103,以及CMOS 或CCD等拍攝元件ill。又,基板112上以接著等方法安裝 有光學元件113。而,本實施形態之拍攝元件ill乃使用橫 X縱=256x 16像素之CMOS感測器。 光學元件113由透明光學材料構成之第1導光機構104 與第2導光機構109,以及稜鏡部1〇5所構成。本實施形態所 顯示之例為光學元件113皆以丙烯所形成者。 而,第1光源部102與第1導光機構104間以及第2光源部 1〇3與第2導光機構109間亦可設置用以將來自光源部之光 加以聚光之電容透鏡或菲涅耳透鏡等距光光學系統。 稜鏡部105具有使自第1光源部1〇2射出之光線全反射 之第1傾斜面106及使自第2光源部103射出之光線全反射之 第2傾斜面1〇7。再者,稜鏡部1〇5於第1傾斜面1〇6與第2傾 斜面107間並具有用於讀取原稿或指紋等時之讀取面1〇8。 如圖所示,本實施形態中,係使第1傾斜面1〇6相對於 來自第1光源部102之光線的光軸方向(第10圖中χ軸方向) 所呈之角度α為15。又,第2傾斜面107相對於來自第2光源 σΡ 103之光線的光轴方向(第1〇圖中χ轴方向)所呈之角度 /3 為22.5。。 再者,本實施形態之讀取裝置101中,為以拍攝元件lu 將於讀取面108散亂之散亂光加以受光,乃設有第3導光機 構 110 〇 本實施形態中,第3導光機構110之例係顯示一使用複 數圓筒形之折射率分布型透鏡,即GRiN(GRadientlNdex) 透鏡陣列之構成,且其物點與焦點,即表示共役點間之距 離的共役長由拍攝元件111之拍攝面至讀取面108為止之長 度大致相同。本實施形態之讀取裝置1〇1中,共役長約 ,而,讀取裝置1〇1之¥軸方向寬度為ι6ιηπι。 又,為防止光漏出,第1導光機構104及第2導光機構109 與第3導光機構110及空間部114間之境界面宜塗裝成黑色。 接著,說明以前述讀取裝置101進行影像讀取時之動 作。 首先’就讀取對象為文字或圖形等以濃淡顯示之資訊 時之影像讀取加以說明。 第12圖為用以說明本實施形態之讀取裝置中拍攝以濃 淡顯示之資訊時之動作的概略圖。 首先,使第1光源部102發光。來自第1光源部1〇2之光 線透過第1導光機構104射入稜鏡部105。由於第丨導光機構 104與稜鏡部105係緊密接著而使其不產生光學間隙,因此 第1導光機構104與稜鏡部105間之境界面不會產生折射。 接著,光線射入第1傾斜面106。第1傾斜面1〇6設置成 相對光線之光軸所呈之角度α為15°,因此光線會於第1傾 斜面106全反射(入射角為90。一 15。=75。。丙烯之臨界 角約為42° ),並以角度α X 2=30°射入讀取面1〇8。 由於讀取面108上入射角為30° ,因此不會產生全反 射’光線會由讀取面108向外側射出。 由讀取面108射出之光射入配置於讀取面108附近之文 予或圖形等原稿121之表面後,於文字或圖形之著色淡之部 分’即白色部分散亂,並於著色濃之部分,即黑色部分吸 收。 部分於原稿121之白色部分散亂之散亂光再次由讀取 面108射入讀取裝置101。接著,朝向散亂光之拍攝元件ιη 的成分由第3導光機構110聚光,並由拍攝元件拍的較 免〇 另一方面,由於原稿121之黑色部分所吸收之光不會射 入%取裝置101,因此原稿121之黑色部分會由拍攝元件U1 拍的較暗。 藉此’可以讀取裝置101拍攝文字或圖形等以濃淡顯示 之資訊。 接著,就讀取之對象為指紋等以凹凸顯示之資訊時之 影像讀取進行說明。 第13圖為用以說明本實施形態之讀取裝置中拍攝以凹 凸顯示之資訊時之動作的概略圖。 此日守,首先使第2光源部1〇3發光。來自第2光源部1〇3 之光線透過第2導光機構109射入稜鏡部1〇5。由於第2導光 機構應與稜鏡則㈣緊密接著而使其不產生光學間隙, 因此第2導光機構與稜鏡部⑽間之境界面不會產生折 射或反射等。 接者,光線射入第2傾斜面107。第2傾斜面1〇7設置成 200403596 相對光線之光軸所呈之角度/3為22.5° ,因此光線會於第2 傾斜面107全反射(入射角為90° —22.5。=67.5。),並以 角度/3 X 2=45°射入讀取面108。 由於讀取面108上入射角未超過45°與臨界角,因此光 5 會全反射,而不會由讀取裝置101跑到外面(由丙烯射向空 氣中時之臨界角約為42° )。 惟,使手指122與讀取面108緊密接觸時,指紋凹凸之 凸部分與讀取面緊密接觸之部分中,如第13圖所示,讀取 面108上光會散亂。指紋之凹部份中,由於與讀取面108間 10 有空間,因此光不會散亂,而會於讀取面108全反射。 指紋之凸部分與讀取面108間散亂之散亂光再次由讀 取面108射入讀取裝置101。接著,朝向散亂光之拍攝元件 111之部分由第3導光機構110聚光,並由拍攝元件111拍的 較亮。 15 另一方面,由指紋之凹部分與讀取面108間有空間之部 分全反射之光會由拍攝元件111拍的較暗。 藉此,除文字或圖形等以濃淡顯示之資訊外,亦可以 讀取裝置101拍攝指紋等以凹凸顯示之資訊。藉本發明之讀 取裝置,拍攝指紋圖形時之凹部分中,光線於讀取面會朝 20 拍攝元件以外之方向全反射,因此可獲得相較於習知黑等 級較低而對比良好之影像。 而,第10圖中,顯示第1傾斜面106與來自第1光源部102 之光線之光軸(X軸)方向所呈之角度α為15°之情形。根 據檢討,角度α以朝第1傾斜面106射入之入射角為產生全 30 200403596On the other hand, in the reading device 61 of this embodiment, when reading information 15 displayed on the uneven surface such as a fingerprint that is in contact with the uneven reading surface 33 of the crotch portion 18, the incident angle on the uneven reading surface 33 exceeds Above the critical angle, the total reflected light to be incident is irradiated, and from the scattered light of the portion where the convex surface of the fingerprint or the like is in contact with the uneven reading surface 33, a component that scatters the uneven reading surface 33 in the vertical direction is detected. In more detail, after the light irradiated from the first LED 13 passes through the light-condensing section 15 to condense 20 light, it enters the first light guide mechanism 67 supported by the support member 69. In the first light guide mechanism 67, the light rays travel straight in the X-axis direction in FIG. 7 and are totally reflected by the total reflection surface 90, and then enter the ridge 8. In addition, in the reading device 61 of this embodiment, the total reflection surface 90 is made 22.5 with respect to the X-axis direction in FIG. 7. The angle will therefore be 45. The angle 23 200403596 is incident on the uneven reading surface 33. In the crotch 18, the concave-convex reading surface 33 is incident at an incident angle exceeding a critical angle (about 41 in BK7). Therefore, if there is no object that is in contact with the concave-convex reading surface 33, all light will be reflected and incident. Face 5 is shown by D in the lower left in Figure 7. The surface indicated by D can be made to absorb light, for example, black coating is performed in advance so that the light is absorbed on the D surface. When the concave-convex reading surface 33 is in contact with a concave-convex object, such as a finger 63, in the portion where the convex portion and the concave-convex reading surface 33 are optically close, light will not be totally reflected, but will diffuse and reflect. Of the diffusely reflected light, the components in the negative γ-axis direction 10 in FIG. 7 are reflected on the semi-lens 85 formed on the surface of the fourth light guide mechanism 81 supported by the support member 70 to be condensed by the GRIN lens 23 and focused by After the total reflection mechanism 24 is totally reflected, it is incident on the imaging element 32, so that the convex part is shot whiter (higher brightness), and the concave part is shot blacker (lower brightness). In the reading device 61 of this embodiment, the half lens 85 is 45 with respect to the X-axis direction in FIG. 7 and FIG. Angle. However, a well-known material such as plastic or rubber may be used as the support member 70. Of course, the reading device 61 of this embodiment is also the same as the reading device 1 of the first embodiment. The co-commander of the GRIN lens 23 and the length of the light path of the flood season ^ which is displayed as a bump and the information displayed in the shade are recorded. The light path looks the same as 20. In other words, in FIG. 7, the optical path length from the point P1 on the uneven reading surface 33 through the point P4 on the half lens 85 to the point p3 on the imaging element 32 and the point P2 on the document 34 through the half lens 85 The length of the optical path from the point P4 on the plane to the point P3 on the imaging element 32 is equal to the co-operation length of the GRIN lens. In terms of practicality, the co-operation of the two optical path lengths and the grin lens 23 24 200403596 is preferably within a range of the depth of the photographic circle ', such as about ± 0.5 mm. In the configuration of the aforementioned reading device 61, the image information with good contrast can also obtain information of two different attributes, such as text or graphics, which are displayed in shades, and fingerprints, which are displayed in irregularities. 5 In addition, the switching of reading information can be performed simply by switching to the light source of the switching point party, namely, the first LED13 and the second LED14. (Third Embodiment) Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. Fig. 8 is a sectional view showing the structure of a reading device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9 is a schematic 10 perspective view. In the reading device 71 of this embodiment, the positions of the LEDs and the configuration in which the light guide can replace the first light guiding mechanism 17 and the third light guiding mechanism 22 are the same as the reading devices 1 and 2 of the first embodiment. The reading device 61 of the embodiment is different. As shown in FIG. 9, the first LED96 and the second LED97 are structured so as to be mounted on the side of the reading device 71 and irradiate light toward the Z-axis direction in the figure. When the reading device 71 is used to capture information such as fingerprints, which is displayed as unevenness, the first LED 96 is illuminated. In Fig. 8 or Fig. 9, the light irradiated in the Z-axis direction is changed to the Y-axis direction by the light guide 93. However, as the light guide 93, a well-known diffusion plate, a light guide plate 20, a refraction grid, or the like can be used, such as those used in LCD displays. The light having its direction changed to the Y-axis direction by the light guide 93 is incident on the crotch portion 18 in the vertical direction (Y-axis direction). After that, information such as fingerprints can be photographed in the same manner as described in the first embodiment. The crotch portion 18 is supported by a support member 92. The support member 92 may be made of a material known from 25 200403596, such as plastic or rubber. Next, in the reading device 71, when photographing (reading) information such as text or graphics displayed in shades, the second LED 97 is illuminated. In FIGS. 8 and 9, the light irradiated in the Z-axis direction is changed to the X 5 -axis direction by the light guide 94, and is refracted downward by a light distribution mechanism 95 such as a linear Fresnel toward the 8th FIG. Then, the original document 34 is irradiated. The scattered light of the original document 34 is condensed by the GRIN lens 23 and captured by the imaging element 32. This is the same as the reading device 1 of the first embodiment and the reading device 61 of the second embodiment. As the light guide 94, a well-known diffuser plate, a light guide plate, a refraction grid, or the like can be used. In this way, with the reading device 71 of this embodiment, it is possible to photograph information such as text or graphics displayed in shades, fingerprints, etc. in the same manner as the reading device 1 of the first embodiment and the reading device 61 of the second embodiment. Bump display information. 15 Furthermore, the reading device 71 of this embodiment is configured so that the first light guide mechanism and the third light guide mechanism are not used, and the LED is disposed on the side of the device and a light guide is used, thereby realizing the information device. Further thinning. In the reading device 71 of this embodiment, L = 9.95mm, H1 = 3.85mm, and H2 = 2.7mm, and the thickness of the portion 20 shown by Η in FIG. 8 is H = 2.00mm. In this way, the portion indicated by Η in FIG. 8 is thinned and the center is thin, thereby realizing a configuration in which the position and the like can be easily determined when the reading device 71 is mounted on a mobile phone device or the like. (Fourth Embodiment) Fig. 10 is a sectional view showing the structure 26 of a reading device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Figure 11 is a perspective view thereof. In the following drawings, for the convenience of explanation, the three-axis directions of XYZ are shown. In FIG. 10, the reading device 101 of this embodiment has a first light source section 102 such as an LED, a second light source section 103, and an imaging element such as a CMOS or a CCD on the same substrate 112. An optical element 113 is mounted on the substrate 112 by a method such as bonding. In addition, the imaging element ill of this embodiment uses a CMOS sensor with horizontal X vertical = 256 × 16 pixels. The optical element 113 is composed of a first light guide mechanism 104 and a second light guide mechanism 109 made of a transparent optical material, and a crotch 105. The example shown in this embodiment is one in which the optical elements 113 are all made of acrylic. In addition, a capacitor lens or a Philippine lens for condensing light from the light source section may be provided between the first light source section 102 and the first light guide mechanism 104 and between the second light source section 103 and the second light guide mechanism 109. Neal lens isometric light optical system. The crotch portion 105 includes a first inclined surface 106 that totally reflects light emitted from the first light source portion 102 and a second inclined surface 107 that totally reflects light emitted from the second light source portion 103. In addition, the crotch portion 105 is provided between the first inclined surface 106 and the second inclined surface 107 and has a reading surface 108 for reading an original document or a fingerprint. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the angle α of the first inclined surface 106 with respect to the optical axis direction of the light from the first light source section 102 (the x-axis direction in FIG. 10) is 15. The angle / 3 of the second inclined surface 107 with respect to the optical axis direction of the light from the second light source σP 103 (the x-axis direction in FIG. 10) / 3 is 22.5. . In addition, in the reading device 101 of this embodiment, a third light guide mechanism 110 is provided to receive scattered light scattered on the reading surface 108 by the imaging element lu. In this embodiment, the third The example of the light guide mechanism 110 shows a composition using a plurality of cylindrical refractive index distribution lenses, that is, a GRiN (GRadientlNdex) lens array, and its object point and focal point, that is, the distance between the co-operation points. The length from the imaging surface to the reading surface 108 of the element 111 is substantially the same. In the reading device 101 of this embodiment, the co-service length is about 1500 Å, and the width in the axial direction of the reading device 101 is ι6ιηπι. In order to prevent light leakage, the boundary surfaces between the first light guide mechanism 104 and the second light guide mechanism 109 and the third light guide mechanism 110 and the space 114 should be painted black. Next, an operation when an image is read by the reading device 101 will be described. First, we will explain the image reading when the information to be read is text or graphics displayed in shades. Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram for explaining an operation when photographing information displayed in gradation in the reading device of this embodiment. First, the first light source unit 102 is caused to emit light. The light rays from the first light source section 102 pass through the first light guide mechanism 104 and enter the ridge section 105. Since the first light guiding mechanism 104 and the crotch 105 are closely connected so that no optical gap is generated, the boundary interface between the first light guiding mechanism 104 and the crotch 105 will not be refracted. Then, the light is incident on the first inclined surface 106. The first inclined surface 106 is set to an angle α of 15 ° with respect to the optical axis of the light. Therefore, the light will be totally reflected on the first inclined surface 106 (the incident angle is 90.-15. = 75 .. The criticality of acrylic The angle is about 42 °), and it is incident on the reading surface 108 at an angle α X 2 = 30 °. Since the incident angle on the reading surface 108 is 30 °, no total reflection 'light is emitted from the reading surface 108 to the outside. The light emitted from the reading surface 108 enters the surface of the original 121 such as a text or a figure arranged near the reading surface 108, and is scattered in the light colored portion of the text or the graphic, that is, the white portion, and the colored portion Part, that is, the black part is absorbed. The scattered light partially scattered in the white portion of the original 121 is incident on the reading device 101 through the reading surface 108 again. Next, the components of the imaging element ιη toward the scattered light are condensed by the third light guide mechanism 110, and are more easily taken by the imaging element. On the other hand, the light absorbed by the black part of the original 121 will not be incident into the% Take the device 101, so the black part of the original 121 will be shot darker by the imaging element U1. In this way, it is possible to read information such as text or graphics captured by the device 101 in light and shade. The following is an explanation of image reading when the read object is information displayed in a bump such as a fingerprint. Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram for explaining an operation when photographing information displayed in a concave and convex manner in the reading device of this embodiment. On this day, first, the second light source unit 103 is caused to emit light. The light from the second light source unit 103 passes through the second light guide mechanism 109 and enters the hip unit 105. Since the second light guide mechanism should be closely adhered to the air filter so that no optical gap is generated, the boundary interface between the second light guide mechanism and the crotch will not cause refraction or reflection. Then, the light enters the second inclined surface 107. The second inclined plane 107 is set to an angle of 4032003 relative to the optical axis of the light ray is 22.5 °, so the light will be totally reflected on the second inclined plane 107 (incident angle is 90 °-22.5. = 67.5.), It is incident on the reading surface 108 at an angle / 3 X 2 = 45 °. Because the incident angle on the reading surface 108 does not exceed 45 ° and the critical angle, the light 5 will be totally reflected without the reading device 101 running outside (the critical angle when the acrylic is shot into the air is about 42 °) . However, when the finger 122 is brought into close contact with the reading surface 108, as shown in Fig. 13, the convex portion of the fingerprint unevenness is in close contact with the reading surface, and the light on the reading surface 108 is scattered. Since there is space between the concave portion of the fingerprint and the reading surface 108, the light will not be scattered and will be totally reflected on the reading surface 108. The scattered light scattered between the convex portion of the fingerprint and the reading surface 108 is again incident on the reading device 101 through the reading surface 108. Next, the portion of the imaging element 111 facing the scattered light is condensed by the third light guide mechanism 110, and is captured brighter by the imaging element 111. 15 On the other hand, light that is totally reflected by a portion having a space between the concave portion of the fingerprint and the reading surface 108 will be darkened by the imaging element 111. In this way, in addition to the information displayed in shades such as text or graphics, it is also possible to read the information displayed in bumps such as fingerprints taken by the device 101. With the reading device of the present invention, in the concave part when photographing a fingerprint pattern, the light on the reading surface will be totally reflected in a direction other than 20 imaging elements, so a better contrast image can be obtained compared to the conventional black level. . 10 shows a case where the angle α between the first inclined surface 106 and the optical axis (X-axis) direction of the light from the first light source section 102 is 15 °. According to the review, the angle α takes the angle of incidence of incident on the first inclined plane 106 as the full 30 200403596

反射之角度,即超過臨界角之角度,且,朝讀取面108射入 之入射角為不會產生全反射之角度,即未滿臨界角之角度 為佳。換言之,若以R為臨界角,必須滿足以下2式。 R^90- a 5 2x a &lt;R 在實用上,只要滿足以下式即可。 0&lt; a &lt; (R/2) 材料為丙烯時,由於R=42° ,因此以下式為佳。 0° &lt; α &lt;21° 10 且,以下式更為佳。 10。&lt; α &lt;21° 這是因為,若α太小,光線會以接近垂直之角度射入 讀取面108,有時會拾取到來自原稿121之黑色部分之反射 光,因而使對比惡化。 15 接著,角度/3以朝第2傾斜面107射入之入射角為產生 全反射之角度,即超過臨界角R之角度為佳,且,朝讀取面 108射入之入射角亦以為會產生全反射之角度,即超過臨界 角之角度為佳。換言之,若以R為臨界角,必須滿足以下2 式。 20 R^90- β R^2x β 在實用上,只要滿足以下式即可。The angle of reflection, that is, the angle exceeding the critical angle, and the angle of incidence incident on the reading surface 108 is an angle that does not cause total reflection, that is, an angle that is less than the critical angle. In other words, if R is a critical angle, the following two expressions must be satisfied. R ^ 90- a 5 2x a &lt; R In practical terms, it suffices if the following formula is satisfied. 0 &lt; a &lt; (R / 2) When the material is propylene, the following formula is preferred because R = 42 °. 0 ° &lt; α &lt; 21 ° 10 Furthermore, the following formula is more preferable. 10. &lt; α &lt; 21 ° This is because, if α is too small, light will enter the reading surface 108 at a nearly vertical angle, and sometimes the reflected light from the black portion of the original 121 will be picked up, thereby deteriorating the contrast. 15 Next, for angle / 3, the incident angle of incidence on the second inclined surface 107 is the angle that generates total reflection, that is, the angle that exceeds the critical angle R is preferred, and the incident angle of incidence on the reading surface 108 is also considered to be The angle that produces total reflection, that is, the angle that exceeds the critical angle is preferred. In other words, if R is the critical angle, the following two expressions must be satisfied. 20 R ^ 90- β R ^ 2x β In practical terms, it only needs to satisfy the following formula.

(R/2) ^ β ^90-R 材料為丙烯時,由於R=42° ,因此以下式為佳。 31 200403596 21° &lt; /5 &lt;48。 且,以下式更為佳。 21° &lt; /5 &lt;30。 這是因為,若/3太大,會以較大之入射角射入讀取面 5⑽,取得指紋影像時,來自指紋之.凸部分與讀取面⑽接 觸之部分中,拍攝元件ιη方向之成分會變小,有時會使對 比惡化。 藉本實施形態之讀取裝置101,讀取對象為以濃淡顯示 ,資訊時’只要使第【光源部1〇2點亮來拍攝影像即可,而· ίο讀取對象為以凹凸顯示之資訊時,則只要使第2光源部1〇3 點亮來拍攝影像即可。換言之,利用選擇點亮之光源部的 單純構成,便可由同-讀取面⑽以良好對比拍攝文字或圖 形等以濃淡顯示之資訊與指紋等以凹凸顯示之資%。 又’本實施形態之讀取裂置中,乃使來自第i光源部ι〇2 15之光線之光軸、來自第2光源部1〇3之光線之光轴與自讀取 面108射人㈣元件1U之光狀料大致平行。藉該構 成’可將讀取裝置101之厚度變薄。第1〇圖所示之構成中,Φ 可使圖中Z軸方向之厚度為3mm。若進行將圓筒型之grin 透鏡之徑加以縮小等改良,便可進而輕薄化。如此,可提 20供一可輕易搭載至行動資訊裝置之讀取裝置。 而,本實施形態係顯示光學元件113之材料使用丙烯之 情形,但本發明並未受限於此。當然,亦包括聚碳酸酯或 玻璃等所有眾所皆知之光學材料。 又,本實施形態中,拍攝元件顯示第丨光源部及第2光 32 200403596 源部形成於同一基板上之例。此時,有讀取裝置之組裝易 於進行之優點,而本發明並未限定拍攝元件之位置。舉例 言之’如第14圖所示’拍攝元件lu當然亦可構造成第【光 源部102及第2光源部103不在同一基板上。 5 再者,本實施形態中,第3導光機構110之例顯示一使 用GRIN透鏡陣列之構成’但本發明並未受限於此,只要是 具有聚光作用之光學系統,當然亦包含於本發明中。 又,本實施形態顯示之例為代表第3導光機構11〇的 GRIN透鏡陣列之共役長由拍攝元件⑴至讀取面⑽之距 _ 10離相同者,但舉例言之,第3導光機構11G之共役長超過由 拍攝元件111至讀取面108之長度亦可。 藉月il述構成,如第15圖所示,將讀取裝置1〇1搭載於行 動貧訊裝置等時,可配置讀取襄置1〇1來使讀取面1〇8較行 動資訊裝置之框體13〇更為内側。此時,宜配置成使第3導 15光機構110之共役長拍攝元件111至框體130外側之距離C一 致。藉前述構成,可防止讀取面1〇8受到來自外部之機械損 傷等。 ® 又,本發明之讀取裝置,並未受限於如本實施形態所 不之光學元件113由第1導光機構1〇4、第2導光機構1〇9及稜 20鏡部105構成。如第16圖所示,亦可構造成光學元件151以 壓製成形等眾所皆知之方法一體來形成第丨導光機構、第2 導光機構及稜鏡部之構造。 (第5實施形態) 接著,第5實施形態顯示本發明讀取裝置之另一構成。 33 第17圖為本發明第5實施形態之讀取裝置的立體圖,第 18圖為其剖面圖。 而,為便於說明,與第1實施形態所示之構成要件相同 之構成要件則標以相同符號,並省略說明。 本貫施形態之讀取裝置161相較於第4實施形態所說明 之靖取叙置101,不同處在於其讀取面1〇8兩侧(第17圖中γ 軸方向兩側)設有突起部142。 藉没置前述突起部142,可使讀取面1〇8不會直接接觸 作為頌取對象之原稿等,因此可以保護其不受摩擦或髒污 等表面傷害。 再者,別述構成在取得指紋圖形時,可以沒有讀取面 108中沒有突起部142之中央部分來取得指紋影像。 而,該構成中,第3導光機構110之共役長與拍攝元件 111至突起部142前端部分之距離E宜大致相等,係為了將文 子或圖形等以濃淡顯示之資訊影像拍攝的更鮮明。再者, 為了將指紋等以凹凸顯示之資訊拍攝的更鮮明,被攝界深 度以可將拍攝元件111至讀取面108之距離D與拍攝元件111 至突起部142前端部分之距離£加以遮蓋為佳。 (第6實施形態) 再者’第6實施形態顯示本發明之讀取裝置之另一構 成。 第19圖為本發明第6實施形態之讀取裝置的立體圖,第 20圖為其剖面圖。 而’為便於說明,與第4實施形態所示之構成要件相同 200403596 之構成要件則標以相同符號,並省略說明。 本貫施形態之讀取裝置162相較於第1實施形態所說明 之讀取裝置101,不同處在於其讀取面148中丫軸方向兩端部 分係以曲面構成。 5 藉使讀取面148之兩端部分呈曲面,除可獲得第1實施 形態所述之讀取裝置1〇丨之效果外,可使讀取面148之中央 部分不會直接接觸作為讀取對象之原稿等,因此可以保護 其不受摩擦或髒污等表面傷害。 再者,以前述構成取得指紋圖形時,如第5實施形態之 10 讀取裝置161,由於沒有突起部142,因此讀取面148之Y軸 方向之全域皆可作為讀取面。 而,該構成中,如第20圖所示,第3導光機構110之共 役長與拍攝元件111至讀取面148之最大距離G宜大致相 等,係為了將文字或圖形等以濃淡顯示之資訊影像拍攝的 15 更鮮明。再者,為了將指紋等以凹凸顯示之資訊拍攝的更 鮮明,GRIN透鏡之被攝界深度以可將拍攝元件111至讀取 面148之最大距離G與拍攝元件111至讀取面丨48之最小距離 F加以遮蓋為佳。 而,本實施形態之讀取裝置162中,係顯示讀取面148 20 於Y軸方向為凹面,但本發明之讀取裝置162並未受限於使 此。舉例言之,於z軸方向為凹面當然亦具有防止損傷之效 果。 產業上之利用可能性 如上所述’本發明之光學元件及讀取裝置無論是指紋 35 200403596 等凹凸顯示之資訊或是文字或圖形等以濃淡顯示之資訊都 可獲得對比良好之影像,且具有可輕薄化之效果,因此就 讀取文字或圖形等以濃淡顯示之資訊或指紋等以凹凸顯示 之資訊的光學元件及讀取裝置等而言十分有用。 5 【_式簡單說明】 第1圖係顯示本發明第1實施形態之讀取裝置之構成的 剖面圖。 第2 (a)圖係顯示本發明第1實施形態之讀取裝置之構 成的立體圖。 10 第2 (b)圖係顯示本發明第1實施形態之讀取裝置之構 成的平面圖。 第3圖係用以說明本發明第1實施形態之讀取裝置拍攝 以凹凸顯示之資訊時的動作之圖。 第4圖係用以說明本發明第1實施形態之讀取裝置拍攝 15 以》辰淡顯示之貧訊時的動作之圖。 第5 (a)圖係顯示搭載有本發明第1實施形態之讀取裝 置的行動電話裝置構成之正面圖。 第5 (b)圖係顯示本發明第1實施形態之行動電話裝置 中搭载有讀取裝置之部分之要部立體圖。 20 第6圖係顯示本發明第1實施形態之行動電話裝置中搭 載有讀取裝置之部分之要部剖面圖。 第7圖係顯示本發明第2實施形態之讀取裝置之構成的 剖面圖。 第8圖係顯示本發明第3實施形態之讀取裝置之構成的 36 200403596 剖面圖。 第9圖係顯示本發明第3實施形態之讀取裝置之構成的 概略立體圖。 第10圖係顯示本發明第4實施形態之讀取裝置之構成 5 的剖面圖。 第11圖係顯示本發明第4實施形態之讀取裝置之構成 的立體圖。 第12圖係用以說明本發明第4實施形態之讀取裝置讀 取以濃淡顯示之資訊時的動作之圖。 10 第13圖係用以說明本發明第4實施形態之讀取裝置讀 取以凹凸顯示之資訊時的動作之圖。 第14圖係顯示本發明第4實施形態之讀取裝置之另一 構成的剖面圖。 第15圖係顯示本發明第4實施形態之讀取裝置之又一 15 構成的剖面圖。 第16圖係顯示本發明第4實施形態之讀取裝置之再一 構成的剖面圖。 第17圖係顯示本發明第5實施形態之讀取裝置之構成 的立體圖。 20 第18圖係顯示本發明第5實施形態之讀取裝置之構成 的剖面圖。 第19圖係顯示本發明第6實施形態之讀取裝置之構成 的立體圖。 第20圖係顯示本發明第6實施形態之讀取裝置之構成 37 200403596 的平面圖。 第21圖係用以說明習知讀取裝置之構成之圖。 【圖式之主要元件代表符號表】 1,61,71,101,161,162......讀取 40,90.. ....全反射面 裝置 43,130 ..…框體 11...... 第1基板 50····., .行動電話裝置 12...... 第2基板 51…… .天線部 13,96.. •…第1LED 52...... .擴音部 14,97.. •…第2LED 53...... .顯示部 15,16.. ....聚光部 54…… .按鍵部 17,67,104……第1導光機構 55...... .通話部 18,105 ......稜鏡部 63,122 ......手指 19,109 ......第2導光機構 69,70,92……支撐構件 20,81.. ....第4導光機構 93,94. · 21...... 原稿讀取部 95…… .配光機構 22,110, ......第3導光機構 102···· ..第1光源部 23...... .GRIN透鏡 103···· ..第2光源部 24...... .全反射機構 106···. u第1傾斜面 25,85.. ....半透鏡 107···· • •第2傾斜面 27…… .折射面 108,148......讀取面 28,29,30,31……遮蔽構件 112.... ..基板 32,111 ......拍攝元件 113,151……光學元件 33…·· .凹凸讀取面 142···· ..突起部 34,121 ......原稿(R / 2) ^ β ^ 90-R When the material is acrylic, the following formula is preferred because R = 42 °. 31 200403596 21 ° &lt; / 5 &lt; 48.

When a fingerprint image is obtained, the part of the fingerprint that is in contact with the reading surface , in the direction of the imaging element The composition becomes smaller and sometimes worsens the contrast. With the reading device 101 of this embodiment, the reading object is displayed in light and shade. When information is used, “the light source unit 102 is illuminated to capture an image, and the reading object is information displayed in a bump. In this case, the second light source unit 103 may be turned on to capture an image. In other words, by using the simple configuration of the light source portion that is selected to be lit, the same-reading surface can be used to capture text or graphics with good contrast and the information such as fingerprints displayed in bumps with good contrast. In addition, in the reading splitting of this embodiment, the optical axis of the light from the i-th light source section 2052, the optical axis of the light from the second light source section 103, and the self-reading surface 108 are shot. The light material of the cymbal element 1U is substantially parallel. With this configuration, the thickness of the reading device 101 can be reduced. In the structure shown in FIG. 10, Φ can make the thickness in the Z-axis direction of the figure be 3 mm. Improvements such as reducing the diameter of the cylindrical grin lens can further reduce the weight. In this way, a reading device that can be easily mounted on a mobile information device can be provided. The present embodiment shows a case where acrylic is used as the material of the optical element 113, but the present invention is not limited to this. Of course, it also includes all well-known optical materials such as polycarbonate or glass. In this embodiment, the imaging element displays an example in which the first light source section and the second light source are formed on the same substrate. At this time, there is an advantage that assembly of the reading device is easy to perform, and the present invention does not limit the position of the imaging element. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the imaging element lu may be structured such that the [light source section 102 and the second light source section 103 are not on the same substrate. 5 Furthermore, in this embodiment, the example of the third light guide mechanism 110 shows a structure using a GRIN lens array, but the present invention is not limited to this, as long as it is an optical system having a light-concentrating effect, it is of course also included in In the present invention. In addition, the example shown in this embodiment is an example in which the distance from the imaging element ⑴ to the reading surface 10 of the GRIN lens array of the third light guide mechanism 110 is the same, but for example, the third light guide The cooperating length of the mechanism 11G may exceed the length from the imaging element 111 to the reading surface 108. According to the description of the structure, as shown in FIG. 15, when the reading device 100 is mounted on a mobile poor-sense device, etc., the reading device 101 can be configured to make the reading surface 108 more than the mobile information device. The frame body 13 is more inside. At this time, it should be arranged so that the distance C between the co-operating imaging element 111 of the third light guide unit 110 and the outside of the frame 130 is consistent.
