整合式光學模組及其手指掃描裝置Integrated optical module and finger scanning device

本發明乃是關於一種適用於手指感應裝置之整合式光學模組,特別是指一種應用於指紋成像裝置中提供手指導航以及生物特徵掃描功能的整合式光學模組。The invention relates to an integrated optical module suitable for a finger sensing device, in particular to an integrated optical module for providing finger navigation and biometric scanning functions in a fingerprint imaging device.

現代化電子裝置不斷朝向小型化之趨勢發展,其所提供功能之多元性及複雜度亦非昔日能比。傳統的人機界面裝置(human interface device,HID),例如滑鼠與鍵盤,若再用於現代多樣化多媒體功能之小型化電子裝置的控制界面,已明顯不敷使用。Modern electronic devices are constantly moving toward miniaturization, and the diversity and complexity of the functions they provide are not comparable. Traditional human interface devices (HIDs), such as mouse and keyboard, have become apparently inadequate for use in the control interface of modern electronic devices with a variety of multimedia functions.

因此,提供緊密人機互動之精準且直覺式小型化控制界面一直為業界持續努力的研發目標。特別是,新式微型個人電子裝置已深刻地融入在現代日常生活中,這些裝置被應用在各種不同的環境中,其適用性變得格外重要。尤其是,用於其中之人性界面裝置不止要精準而敏銳,更是要小巧且耐用。Therefore, the precise and intuitive miniaturized control interface that provides close human-computer interaction has been the research and development goal of the industry. In particular, new miniature personal electronic devices have been deeply integrated into modern daily life, and these devices have been applied in various environments, and their applicability has become particularly important. In particular, the human interface device used therein is not only precise and sensitive, but also compact and durable.

另一面,隨著現代電子裝置之個人化,儲存於其中的資料及資訊更是日趨私密且重要。因此,新式個人電子裝置更需要融入適當的保全機制以保護該等重要資訊,尤在遺失遭竊的狀況下,來限制他人對該裝置之不當操作。其中,人類的指紋為一獨一無二的生物特徵,並且已被長久用於識別目的。因此,將指紋掃描/辨識功能融入現代小型電子裝置以管理資料存取以加強安全是眾所期望的。On the other hand, with the personalization of modern electronic devices, the information and information stored in them is increasingly private and important. Therefore, new personal electronic devices need to incorporate appropriate security mechanisms to protect such important information, especially in the case of lost theft, to limit the improper operation of others. Among them, human fingerprints are a unique biological feature and have been used for identification purposes for a long time. Therefore, it is desirable to incorporate fingerprint scanning/recognition functions into modern small electronic devices to manage data access to enhance security.

光學手指導航(Optical finger navigation,OFN)技術具有上述精準、小巧及可信度高之特色。因此,本身即具有 掃描功能的光學手指導航裝置極適合生物識別方面之應用。具體地說,新式微型光學手指導航裝置結合了既有光學滑鼠的敏感度與信賴度,卻較沒有傳統實體應用上的空間限制。Optical finger navigation (OFN) technology has the above characteristics of precision, compactness and high credibility. Therefore, it has its own The scanning function of the optical finger navigation device is ideal for biometric applications. Specifically, the new miniature optical finger navigation device combines the sensitivity and reliability of existing optical mice with less space constraints than traditional physical applications.

一般而言,光學手指導航裝置應用一光源及一系列相關光學鏡片安排成照明一偵測表面(sensing surface)以產生數位影像,進而形成動作資料計算的基礎。特別的是,導航裝置內之小型感測器可藉由偵測放置於偵測表面上移動的手指而對應地產生一系列的數位影像,然後將其處理成相關的導航訊號(navigation signals)來操控電子裝置或產生與電子裝置之互動。In general, an optical finger navigation device uses a light source and a series of associated optical lenses arranged to illuminate a sensing surface to produce a digital image, thereby forming the basis for motion data calculation. In particular, the small sensor in the navigation device can correspondingly generate a series of digital images by detecting the finger placed on the detection surface, and then process the data into relevant navigation signals. Manipulating electronic devices or creating interactions with electronic devices.

然而,習知的光學手指導航裝置通常將照明與成像光學元件分開安排於其偵測表面上,而佔用寶貴的空間。再者,分開的光學設計導致在寬面積的偵測表面產生較不均勻的照明輸出,此舉將負面地影響光學手指導航裝置的性能。還有,手指導航及指紋辨識操作通常需要不同特性的光學元件。一般來說,具有寬向展延(wide-spanning)線性陣列的光學鏡片較適用以配合指紋辨識功能之運作。另一方面,具有定點集中(point-concentrated)偵測陣列的光學鏡片則較為適用在手指導航的應用上。因此,在單一裝置內分開置放的光學元件以應用於個別的操作模式,在成本效益方面以及空間利用方面都是缺乏效率的。However, conventional optical finger navigation devices typically place illumination and imaging optics separately on their detection surface, taking up valuable space. Moreover, the separate optical design results in a less uniform illumination output over a wide area of the detection surface, which would negatively impact the performance of the optical finger navigation device. Also, finger navigation and fingerprinting operations typically require optical components of different characteristics. In general, optical lenses with wide-spanning linear arrays are more suitable for use with fingerprint recognition functions. On the other hand, optical lenses with point-concentrated detection arrays are more suitable for finger navigation applications. Therefore, separate placement of optical components within a single device for application to individual modes of operation is inefficient in terms of cost effectiveness and space utilization.

緣是,本發明的課題在於提出一種整合式光學模組,能兼顧支援指紋識別及手指導航之運作,並且同時具有輕巧微小之外型,以便應用於小型化封裝(lower-profile package)結構中。此外,本發明還提出一種小巧且具成本效 益的手指感應裝置,其既具指紋辨識且有手指導航功能,尤適用於小巧可攜式的電子裝置。Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an integrated optical module capable of supporting the operation of fingerprint recognition and finger navigation, and at the same time having a light and small shape for use in a lower-profile package structure. .

請參考圖1,顯示一光學手指感應裝置應用本發明概念之整合式光學模組的分解圖。本實施例中的該整合式光學模組1(或簡稱光學模組)連同相關的光學感應器安排,可有效率地兼顧支援手指導航以指紋識別操作。由下而上,該光學手指感應裝置作為感應封裝乃包括一電子模組4、一整合式光學模組1、及一窗模組3。電子模組4具有一光源41(參圖2)及一光感應單元42;該整合式光學模組1包括一照明部11及一成像部12係對應地安排在該電子模組4上方;窗模組3具有一接觸面係至少一部份位於該整合式光 學模組1上方。上述元件乃垂直地安排成為一低外形小型的封裝(low-profile compact package)。此外,上光遮蔽件2及下光遮蔽件5可選擇性地適用於整合式光學模組1的成像部12以加強手指感應裝置的防串擾性能。Referring to Figure 1, an exploded view of an integrated optical module incorporating an optical finger sensing device in accordance with the teachings of the present invention is shown. The integrated optical module 1 (or optical module for short) in this embodiment, together with the related optical sensor arrangement, can efficiently support the finger navigation for fingerprint recognition operation. From the bottom up, the optical finger sensing device includes an electronic module 4, an integrated optical module 1, and a window module 3 as an inductive package.

本發明之光學手指感應裝置概念性的操作原則如下。請參圖2及圖3,分別顯示手指感應裝置的側面剖視圖及其整合式光學模組1的立體圖。該整合式光學模組1內部具有光源41及靠近光源41的照明部11。光源41可以是一個或多個發光二極體,被提供以發出光線朝向該整合式光學模組1的照明部11一預定的面積。該光學模組1的照明部11形成有多個導光件111a,111b,111c,用以導引來自光源41的光束依預定的入射角朝向窗模組3的掃描表面(或稱觸碰表面),好照明靠近該觸碰表面的物體。透過窗模組3的掃描表面(或稱觸碰表面),使用者的手指可以置放其上以進行掃描。手指端面的反射光可被傳輸朝向該光學模組1的成像部12。成像部12包括有微透鏡陣列(micro lens array)121用以聚焦並導引該反射光朝向該電子模組4的光感應單元42。The conceptual operating principles of the optical finger sensing device of the present invention are as follows. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a side cross-sectional view of the finger sensing device and a perspective view of the integrated optical module 1 thereof are respectively shown. The integrated optical module 1 has a light source 41 and an illumination portion 11 close to the light source 41. The light source 41 may be one or more light emitting diodes that are provided to emit light toward the illumination portion 11 of the integrated optical module 1 for a predetermined area. The illuminating portion 11 of the optical module 1 is formed with a plurality of light guiding members 111a, 111b, 111c for guiding the light beam from the light source 41 toward the scanning surface (or the touch surface of the window module 3 according to a predetermined incident angle. ), to illuminate objects close to the touch surface. Through the scanning surface (or touch surface) of the window module 3, the user's finger can be placed thereon for scanning. The reflected light of the end face of the finger can be transmitted toward the image forming portion 12 of the optical module 1. The imaging unit 12 includes a micro lens array 121 for focusing and guiding the reflected light toward the light sensing unit 42 of the electronic module 4 .

在本實施例中,該光學模組1的結構大致呈平坦的矩形板狀(flat rectangular plate),包括有照明部11及成像部12,分別設於定義的X-Y平面(參圖3)。本發明之光學模組1將照明部11及成像部12安排成緊湊的水平狀,有助於減少模組的厚度,因此整體的感應封裝得以保有較低的外型(lower profile)。該整合式光學模組1可由聚碳酸酯(Polycarbonate,簡稱PC)所製成,或者其他可傳導該電子模組4發出之電磁波的合適材料。此外,光學模組1可 藉由塑膠精密射出成型為單件式光學元件。該光學模組1之照明部11乃設置對應於該電子模組4的光源41,且定義構建一照明通道以傳輸由光源41進來的光束依適合的入射角朝向該窗模組3。照明通道包括一含有該些導光件111a,111b,111c的導光陣列111以照明待掃描物體。特別說明的,該導光陣列111的導光件(或稱光學元件,optical components)可利用全反射(total internal reflection,簡稱TIR)原理,或應用其他合適的光學設計以導引光源41的光線朝向該窗模組3。同樣的,該光學模組1的成像部12設計為對應於該電子模組4的光感應單元42,且包括一成像通道係可導引來自窗模組3的反射光(從待掃描物體,如人體手指端面)朝向該光感應單元42。特別說明的,該成像通道可包括微透鏡陣列121係設計為合併多個透鏡元件,以適合於不同模式的手指掃描操作,包括指紋識別及手指導航。In this embodiment, the optical module 1 has a substantially flat rectangular plate, and includes an illumination portion 11 and an imaging portion 12 respectively disposed on a defined X-Y plane (see FIG. 3). The optical module 1 of the present invention arranges the illumination portion 11 and the imaging portion 12 in a compact horizontal shape to help reduce the thickness of the module, so that the overall induction package can maintain a lower profile. The integrated optical module 1 can be made of polycarbonate (Polycarbonate, PC for short) or other suitable material that can transmit electromagnetic waves emitted by the electronic module 4. In addition, the optical module 1 can It is molded into a single-piece optical component by precision injection molding of plastic. The illumination unit 11 of the optical module 1 is provided with a light source 41 corresponding to the electronic module 4, and defines an illumination channel for transmitting a light beam from the light source 41 toward the window module 3 according to a suitable incident angle. The illumination channel includes a light guide array 111 containing the light guides 111a, 111b, 111c to illuminate the object to be scanned. Specifically, the light guiding members (or optical components) of the light guiding array 111 can utilize the principle of total internal reflection (TIR), or apply other suitable optical designs to guide the light of the light source 41. Facing the window module 3. Similarly, the imaging unit 12 of the optical module 1 is designed to correspond to the light sensing unit 42 of the electronic module 4, and includes an imaging channel that can guide the reflected light from the window module 3 (from the object to be scanned, The end face of the human finger faces the light sensing unit 42. In particular, the imaging channel can include a microlens array 121 designed to incorporate multiple lens elements to accommodate different modes of finger scanning operations, including fingerprint recognition and finger navigation.

電子模組4通常包括一基板(例如電路板,未標號)係設有達成光學掃描功能所必需的電子元件。該電子模組4可包括光源41(參圖4所示之光源元件41a,41b,41c)以及光感應單元42。一遮光結構(photo shield structure)43較佳地設置於該光源41及光感應單元42之間以防止光串擾效應(optical crosstalk effect)之潛在干擾。遮光結構43可作為結構性的邊界,將電子模組4分為一照明區及一感應區。The electronic module 4 typically includes a substrate (e.g., a circuit board, unlabeled) that is provided with the electronic components necessary to achieve the optical scanning function. The electronic module 4 can include a light source 41 (refer to the light source elements 41a, 41b, 41c shown in FIG. 4) and a light sensing unit 42. A photo shield structure 43 is preferably disposed between the light source 41 and the light sensing unit 42 to prevent potential interference of an optical crosstalk effect. The light shielding structure 43 can serve as a structural boundary to divide the electronic module 4 into an illumination area and a sensing area.

本實施例中,光源41乃設於該基板(或電路板)上且位於該遮光結構43的一側,可包括一個或多個發光二極體以作為發光元件。其中一種方式,光源41可以由具有足夠輸出功能的單一發光元件所組成。此種狀況下,高功率的光 源可以安排併成為光學模組1之寬廣角的導光陣列,以均勻地散射光線朝向預定的照明區域。藉此,光源41發出的光可以被導至該窗模組3且投射至待掃描物。在另一種可選擇的實施例,光源41可包括多個發光元件41a,41b,41c而安排成一照明陣列。多個發光元件的設計可以減少像單一發光元件的輸出需求,因此可以彈性的操作且可節省能源。此特點對於使用可攜式電池的小型手持式裝置特別重要。特別說明的,多個低功率的發光元件可以安排成一光源陣列,每一發光元件分開規劃成投射光線至一預定的區域。發光元件的重疊程度可以彈性安排以適合於特定的操作需求。再者,每一分開的發光元件可以規劃成單獨地啟動,或按照特定的操作模式而依序視實際需求而啟動。藉此減少重覆性的能源損耗。In this embodiment, the light source 41 is disposed on the substrate (or the circuit board) and located on one side of the light shielding structure 43 and may include one or more light emitting diodes as the light emitting elements. In one of the ways, the light source 41 can be composed of a single light-emitting element having a sufficient output function. High power light in this situation The source can be arranged and become a wide-angle light guiding array of the optical module 1 to evenly scatter light toward a predetermined illumination area. Thereby, the light emitted by the light source 41 can be guided to the window module 3 and projected onto the object to be scanned. In another alternative embodiment, the light source 41 can include a plurality of light emitting elements 41a, 41b, 41c arranged in an array of illumination. The design of the plurality of light-emitting elements can reduce the output requirements of a single light-emitting element, and thus can operate flexibly and save energy. This feature is especially important for small handheld devices that use portable batteries. Specifically, a plurality of low-power light-emitting elements may be arranged in an array of light sources, each of which is separately planned to project light to a predetermined area. The degree of overlap of the illuminating elements can be flexibly arranged to suit a particular operational need. Furthermore, each of the separate illuminating elements can be programmed to be activated individually or in accordance with a particular mode of operation, depending on the actual needs. Thereby reducing the repetitive energy loss.

在光源陣列中,每一獨立之發光元件的啟動及運作可依特定的操作模式而做適當的設定調整。比方說,不是所有類型的成像應用(imaging application)都需要同時啟動所有的發光元件。舉例說明,指紋識別應用通常需要同時啟動光源陣列中全部發光元件,以在較寬的掃描區域(沿著x軸)產生能夠橫跨該窗模組3的觸碰表面之充足水平照明。另一方面,手指導航應用,其運作係利用反射光訊號方位向量(directional vector)的改變,只需要較低程度的光輸出及一較窄但是較高範圍的照明(較高是指沿著y軸)。連帶地,手指導航之應用並不要求同時啟動全部的發光元件。因此,當執行一個不要求同時啟動全部光源陣列之特定的操作模式時,電子模組4可以被安排為僅啟動部分的光源陣列41以照明該觸碰表面的特定區域。再者,經適當安排之 多元件的光源陣列可以提昇均勻的光線輸出強度於指定的照明區域。所以此為本實施例之較佳選擇。In the array of light sources, the activation and operation of each individual light-emitting element can be appropriately adjusted according to a particular mode of operation. For example, not all types of imaging applications require all of the lighting elements to be activated at the same time. By way of example, fingerprint recognition applications typically require simultaneous activation of all of the light-emitting elements in the array of light sources to produce sufficient horizontal illumination across the touch surface of the window module 3 over a wide scan area (along the x-axis). On the other hand, finger navigation applications operate with a change in the directional vector of the reflected light signal, requiring only a lower level of light output and a narrower but higher range of illumination (higher means along y axis). Incidentally, the application of finger navigation does not require that all of the light-emitting elements be activated at the same time. Thus, when performing a particular mode of operation that does not require simultaneous activation of all of the array of light sources, the electronic module 4 can be arranged to activate only a portion of the array of light sources 41 to illuminate a particular area of the touch surface. Furthermore, as appropriate A multi-element array of light sources enhances uniform light output intensity over a specified illumination area. Therefore, this is a preferred choice for this embodiment.

舉例說明,本實施例利用一光源陣列係包括三個發光元件,被排成單一列狀(如圖4所示)。當操作於指紋識別模式時,陣列中的所有三個發光元件都會被啟動以產生足夠的亮度,在窗模組3之觸碰表面上涵蓋一較寬的帶狀面積。For example, the present embodiment utilizes a light source array comprising three light emitting elements arranged in a single column (as shown in FIG. 4). When operating in the fingerprint recognition mode, all three of the light-emitting elements in the array are activated to produce sufficient brightness to cover a wider strip area on the touch surface of the window module 3.

另一方面,當操作於手指導航模式時,僅要求中央的發光元件41b照明該接觸(掃描)表面的中央部位。因此,在觸碰表面之方向性向量的變化(對應於手指端的移動)乃被導引朝向光學模組1的微透鏡陣列121。該微透鏡陣列121乃安排以聚焦來自窗模組3的反射光於該電子模組4的光感應單元42以進一步處理訊號,其細節容後再述。On the other hand, when operating in the finger navigation mode, only the central light-emitting element 41b is required to illuminate the central portion of the contact (scanning) surface. Therefore, the change in the directivity vector at the touch surface (corresponding to the movement of the finger end) is directed toward the microlens array 121 of the optical module 1. The microlens array 121 is arranged to focus the reflected light from the window module 3 on the light sensing unit 42 of the electronic module 4 to further process the signal, the details of which will be described later.

光感應單元42,其設於電子模組4的偵測區域內而位於該遮光結構43的另一側,可包括一個或多個感光件而能產生被掃描物體的二維影像。適合的感光件可以包括雙邊或方形扁平無引腳封裝(dual/quad flat no leads,簡稱DFN/QFN)的感光二極體。較佳的,光感應單元42可以包含多個感光件,安排成一對應該微透鏡陣列121之感應陣列。再者,電子模組4可以包括一較佳設計的基座元件在其面對視窗的平面,以提供安全結構性支撐該光學模組1。如本實施例所示的,環狀的基座元件(如圖1之方形突起部位,該遮光結構43為其中的一部份)乃安排環繞該光感應元件42於該電子模組4的感應區域上。此種封閉的環狀結構不只可以作為微透鏡拖盤以固持該光學模組1,並且可以作為延伸的光遮蔽件(extended photo shield)而更有效的防止串擾。The light sensing unit 42 is disposed in the detection area of the electronic module 4 and located on the other side of the light shielding structure 43 and may include one or more photosensitive members to generate a two-dimensional image of the scanned object. Suitable photosensitive members may include dual or quad flat no no leads (DFN/QFN) photodiodes. Preferably, the light sensing unit 42 can include a plurality of photosensitive members arranged in a pair of sensing arrays that should be in the microlens array 121. Moreover, the electronic module 4 can include a preferably designed base member in a plane facing the window to provide a secure structural support for the optical module 1. As shown in this embodiment, the annular base member (such as the square protrusion portion of FIG. 1 and the light blocking structure 43 is a part thereof) is arranged to surround the light sensing element 42 to the electronic module 4 for sensing. On the area. Such a closed loop structure can be used not only as a microlens tray to hold the optical module 1, but also as an extended photo shield to more effectively prevent crosstalk.

窗模組3可以是設計作為該光學手指感應裝置的一上殼體。窗模組3包括一觸碰表面(典型為其頂面),供手指可置放其上且滑動其上以進行偵測。特別說明的,該觸碰表面作為一掃描視窗係可以透過特定波長範圍的光線,特定波長範圍係對應於由電子模組4的光源的輸出。The window module 3 can be an upper housing designed as the optical finger sensing device. The window module 3 includes a touch surface (typically its top surface) for the finger to be placed thereon and slid over for detection. Specifically, the touch surface can transmit light of a specific wavelength range as a scanning window, and the specific wavelength range corresponds to the output of the light source by the electronic module 4.

該觸碰表面可以是平坦的,或較佳的,具有輕微凹陷。例如,在該觸碰表面頂部的凸狀曲面(convex curvature)有助於增加感應面積,其係對焦於擷取壓觸其上的手指影像。窗模組3可以由玻璃所形成,或者其他的耐磨材料係可透過來自光源41的光線。再者,掃描視窗可以是一分開的光學元件而設置於窗模組3,或者可以是作為一體成型之窗模組3的部份。例如,窗模組3可以是整體由透明材料製成。相對應的,合適的塗佈材料可施加於窗模組3的本體上,而僅露出其需要的透明部份以形成該掃描視窗。該掃描視窗可以是細長狀且具有一較小於手指之一維端面的面積。此外,至少一部份的掃描視窗(其係具有縱長軸)能較佳地沿一方向拉寬,該方向乃垂直於其本身的方向。拉寬的視窗面積可較佳地對應於光學模組1的微透鏡陣列121以幫助手指導航模組的光線偵測性能。The touch surface can be flat, or preferably, with a slight depression. For example, a convex curvature at the top of the touch surface helps to increase the sensing area, which focuses on capturing a finger image that is pressed against it. The window module 3 may be formed of glass, or other wear resistant material may transmit light from the light source 41. Furthermore, the scanning window may be provided as a separate optical component to the window module 3 or may be part of the integrally formed window module 3. For example, the window module 3 may be made entirely of a transparent material. Correspondingly, a suitable coating material can be applied to the body of the window module 3 to expose only the desired transparent portion to form the scanning window. The scanning window may be elongated and have an area smaller than one of the end faces of the finger. Furthermore, at least a portion of the scanning window (which has a longitudinal axis) can be preferably widened in one direction which is perpendicular to its own direction. The widened window area preferably corresponds to the microlens array 121 of the optical module 1 to aid in the light detection performance of the finger navigation module.

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 6 in particular, different schematic views of the illumination unit 11 of the integrated optical module of the present invention are shown. In order to obtain a clear fingerprint, the miniaturized light guiding elements of the illumination channel are specifically arranged to create an inclined collimated beams of light integrated into the desired projection pattern. The scanning window of the window module 3 is illuminated. Furthermore, the illumination channel can be established by a light guiding array comprising a plurality of optical elements for uniformly projecting light from the light source 41 to the scanning window of the window module 3. Specifically, the present embodiment utilizes a light guiding array 111 to include three adjacently arranged light guiding members (for example, prism members) 111a, 111b, 111c whose light emitting faces are directed toward the image forming portion 12. In this embodiment, the optical members composed of the light guiding members (for example, 稜鏡) 111a, 111b, 111c are arranged in a single columnar configuration having a row axis, and the column The shaft extends generally parallel to the elongating axis of the scanning window. The light guiding array according to the embodiment can adopt a congregated light source on the electronic module 4 to save space, and can also uniformly illuminate a wide area of the scanning surface. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, the light guiding array may also be arranged to be horizontally spread along the scanning window. This constructs a well-controlled illumination pattern across a wider pitch scanning surface. Wherein the light guiding array comprises at least three optical elements arranged around the microlens array.

該光學模組1的成像部12包括微透鏡陣列121係可以導引並且聚焦反射的光線(從該窗模組3上被掃描的手指端面)以朝向該光感應單元42。光學模組1的成像部12以及電子模組4的光感應單元42共同地構建定義上述之影像通道,係可導引來自被掃描物體的反射光線至該電子模組4以擷取影像。圖5顯示本發明之光學模組1的成像部12的近距離示意圖。在此實施例中,微透鏡陣列121設置在矩型光學模組板的中央區,包括識別透鏡單元121a及一相連的導航透鏡單元121b。該識別透鏡單元121a包括多數個微透鏡元件係安排成細長的列陣列。該細長的識別透鏡單元 121a具有一沿著x軸縱向延伸的軸。較佳地,識別透鏡單元121a之該軸的延伸(或稱列軸)乃是大體垂直於導光件111a、111b、111c的出光面,並且大體平行於窗模組3的掃描視窗。另一面,導航透鏡單元121b包括一集中聚集的透鏡,其連接於識別透鏡單元121a,且垂直於縱長的軸。在本實施例中,導航透鏡單元121b的透鏡元件利用單一微透鏡,係安排靠近該細長的識別透鏡單元121a之中央部位,而蓋覆一個或多個相關的光學二極體。The imaging portion 12 of the optical module 1 includes a microlens array 121 that is capable of guiding and focusing the reflected light (the end face of the finger scanned from the window module 3) toward the light sensing unit 42. The imaging unit 12 of the optical module 1 and the light sensing unit 42 of the electronic module 4 collectively construct an image channel defining the above, and can guide the reflected light from the scanned object to the electronic module 4 to capture the image. Fig. 5 shows a close-up view of the image forming portion 12 of the optical module 1 of the present invention. In this embodiment, the microlens array 121 is disposed in a central region of the rectangular optical module board, and includes an identification lens unit 121a and an associated navigation lens unit 121b. The identification lens unit 121a includes a plurality of microlens elements arranged in an elongated array of columns. The elongated identification lens unit 121a has an axis extending longitudinally along the x-axis. Preferably, the extension (or column axis) of the axis of the identification lens unit 121a is substantially perpendicular to the light exit surface of the light guides 111a, 111b, 111c and substantially parallel to the scan window of the window module 3. On the other hand, the navigation lens unit 121b includes a concentrated focusing lens that is coupled to the identification lens unit 121a and is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. In the present embodiment, the lens elements of the navigation lens unit 121b are arranged adjacent to the central portion of the elongated identification lens unit 121a by a single microlens to cover one or more associated optical diodes.

導航透鏡單元121b較佳地乃安排對應於該窗模組3拉寬的視窗區域(例如,對準地設在拉寬的視窗區域之中央部位的下方),以建立一較寬的視野以感測在手指導航操作中的手指動作。請留意,雖然此處討論的導航透鏡單元121b的中央位置以及拉寬的導航視窗是較適用於一般導航操作。然而導航透鏡單元121b的明確位置及安排,以及其相關導航視窗仍然可以被安排成其他的擺設以適用特定的設計及/或操作需求。例如,導航透鏡單元121b可以安排成為向該識別透鏡單元121a右端(沿著正x軸方向)歪斜的樣式,以更適用於右拇指之手指導航模式。再者,光學模組1的成像部12可以加一遮蔽結構以減少光串擾效應的潛在干擾。例如,不可透光的塗層可沿著微透鏡陣列121施加於成像部12。這些光阻擋層(或稱防串擾層)的應用方法可以包括無電鍍法(electro-less plating)及/或其他合適的技術。The navigation lens unit 121b is preferably arranged with a window region corresponding to the window module 3 being stretched (for example, alignably disposed below the central portion of the widened window region) to establish a wider field of view. Measure finger movements in finger navigation operations. Please note that although the central position of the navigation lens unit 121b and the widened navigation window discussed herein are more suitable for general navigation operations. However, the clear location and arrangement of the navigation lens unit 121b, as well as its associated navigation window, can still be arranged in other configurations to suit a particular design and/or operational need. For example, the navigation lens unit 121b may be arranged to be skewed toward the right end of the identification lens unit 121a (in the positive x-axis direction) to be more suitable for the finger navigation mode of the right thumb. Furthermore, the imaging portion 12 of the optical module 1 can be provided with a shielding structure to reduce the potential interference of the optical crosstalk effect. For example, a non-transmissive coating may be applied to the imaging portion 12 along the microlens array 121. Applications of these light blocking layers (or anti-crosstalk layers) may include electro-less plating and/or other suitable techniques.

本發明之整合式光學模組,不像習知光學設計係應用分開的照明及成像光學元件,而佔用較少的寶貴空間且可產生更均勻的照明輸出。再者,藉由整合技術的特點,不僅要求手指導航,還有指紋識別的操作,在小型一件式的 封裝內,本發明以更經濟且省空間的方式實化了多功能的光學操作。The integrated optical module of the present invention, unlike conventional optical design systems, utilizes separate illumination and imaging optics, while consuming less valuable space and producing a more uniform illumination output. Moreover, by the characteristics of the integration technology, not only finger navigation but also fingerprint recognition operation is required in a small one-piece operation. Within the package, the present invention embodies multi-functional optical operation in a more economical and space-saving manner.

For example, in one embodiment, each microlens element within the microlens array 121 can be associated with an optical diode of the light sensing unit 42 in a pair in a pair. Alternatively, each microlens element within microlens array 121 can correspondingly incorporate multiple optical diodes, and vice versa. In particular, the arrangement of the particular microlenses of the present invention allows each microlens within the microlens array 121 to be designed to cover a particular number of optical diodes, thereby reducing the complexity of the structural optical components while maintaining efficiency Light transmission and focusing capabilities. Furthermore, the position and clearance of the lens can be designed to reduce the overlap of the objects.
