Description

強光殘影清除電路、屏下指紋識別裝置、影像感測裝置、及 資訊處理裝置 Strong light afterimage removal circuit, under-screen fingerprint recognition device, image sensing device, and information processing device

本發明係關於影像感測之技術領域,尤指一種強光殘影清除電路,用以整合在一影像感測裝置或具有屏下式指紋識別功能的一電子裝置之中,用以在影像感測器實施影像感測之前,先行清除因強光所造成的影像感測器之殘留電荷,實現強光殘影之清除。 The present invention relates to the technical field of image sensing, in particular to a strong light afterimage removal circuit for integration in an image sensing device or an electronic device with an under-screen fingerprint recognition function for use in image sensing Before the detector implements image sensing, the residual charge of the image sensor caused by strong light is removed first, so as to realize the removal of strong light residual image.

生物辨識技術(Biometric identification)係藉由採集人體固有的生理特徵作為個體生物的辨識依據,例如:虹膜(Iris)、臉部(Face)、聲紋(Voice)、與指紋(Fingerprint)等生理特徵。目前,市售的指紋辨識裝置分為光學式、壓力式、超音波式、與電容式。隨著全屏幕智慧型手機逐漸成為主流,屏下光學指紋識別裝置已經廣泛地整合在全屏幕智慧型手機之中。圖1顯示習知的一種屏下光學指紋識別裝置的架構圖。如圖1所示,屏下式光學指紋識別裝置整合在一智慧型手機3a之中,其主要包含一影像感測模組11a以及一指紋識別模組12a,其中該指紋識別模組12a包括一讀出電路121a(Readout integrated circuit,ROIC)和一影像處理單元122a,該影像感測模組11a包含複數個畫素單元,且各所述畫素單元包括一個光感測器111a和一個電容112a。 Biometric identification technology is based on collecting the inherent physiological characteristics of the human body as the basis for individual biological identification, such as: iris (Iris), face (Face), voiceprint (Voice), and fingerprint (Fingerprint) and other physiological characteristics . Currently, commercially available fingerprint identification devices are classified into optical, pressure, ultrasonic, and capacitive. As full-screen smartphones gradually become mainstream, off-screen optical fingerprint recognition devices have been widely integrated into full-screen smartphones. FIG. 1 shows a structure diagram of a conventional under-display optical fingerprint recognition device. As shown in Figure 1, the under-screen optical fingerprint identification device is integrated in a smart phone 3a, which mainly includes an image sensing module 11a and a fingerprint identification module 12a, wherein the fingerprint identification module 12a includes a A readout circuit 121a (Readout integrated circuit, ROIC) and an image processing unit 122a, the image sensing module 11a includes a plurality of pixel units, and each pixel unit includes a photosensor 111a and a capacitor 112a .

值得說明的是,目前PIN光二極體已被習用於作為所述光感測器111a。由於PIN光二極體的元件特性,只要存在一定強度的環境光,PIN光二極體(即,光感測器111a)在無驅動電壓的情況下還是會吸收光子進而產生光電流對該電容112a充電,使該電容112a具有積累電荷。換句話說,若所述畫素單元在屏下光學指紋採集電路執行指紋採集操作之前便積累了一定量的電荷,則經由指紋採集操作所採集到的指紋圖像便會出現影像殘留現象,業界將此影像殘留現象慣稱為強光殘影或鬼影(Ghosting)。另一方面,若PIN光二極體的晶格存在缺陷,這些晶格缺陷在強光照射下會捕獲電子,從而形成缺陷電荷。可以 理解,這些缺陷電荷也會轉變成光電流而對該電容112a充電,使該電容112A含有殘留電荷。 It is worth noting that currently, a PIN photodiode has been conventionally used as the photosensor 111a. Due to the element characteristics of the PIN photodiode, as long as there is a certain intensity of ambient light, the PIN photodiode (that is, the photosensor 111a) will still absorb photons and then generate a photocurrent to charge the capacitor 112a in the absence of a driving voltage. , so that the capacitor 112a has accumulated charges. In other words, if the pixel unit has accumulated a certain amount of charge before the optical fingerprint collection circuit under the screen performs the fingerprint collection operation, the fingerprint image collected through the fingerprint collection operation will have image retention. This image persistence phenomenon is commonly referred to as strong light afterimage or ghosting (Ghosting). On the other hand, if there are defects in the crystal lattice of the PIN photodiode, these lattice defects will trap electrons under strong light irradiation, thereby forming defect charges. Can It is understood that these defect charges will also be converted into photocurrent to charge the capacitor 112a, so that the capacitor 112A contains residual charges.

舉例而言,圖2為圖1所示之屏下光學指紋識別裝置的工作階段圖,圖3A為圖1所示之影像感測模組11a於圖像採集前之圖像感測示例圖,圖3B為圖1所示之影像感測模組11a於圖像採集時之圖像感測示例圖,且圖3C為圖1所示之影像感測模組11a於圖像採集後之圖像感測示例圖。如圖2與圖3A所示,在存在一定強度的環境光的情況下,該影像感測模組11a之部分PIN光二極體(即,光感測器111a)因吸收光子而產生光電流對電容112a充電,導致部分的畫素單元完成畫素感測,從而使該影像感測模組11a含有對應第一圖像A1的感測信號。進一步地,如圖2與圖3B所示,當屏下光學指紋採集電路正式執行指紋採集操作時,所有的畫素單元皆完成畫素感測,使得該影像感測模組11a含有對應第二圖像A2的感測信號。如圖2與圖3C所示,在感測信號讀出階段,該讀出電路121a自該影像感測模組11a讀出一感測信號,且該影像處理單元122a在對該感測信號進行一系列的信號處理之後,即獲得一採集指紋圖像。值得注意的是,由於第二圖像A2和第一圖像A1之間具有一重疊圖像A21,因此所獲得的採集指紋圖像包含第二圖像A2以及所述重疊圖像A21,此重疊圖像A21為慣稱的鬼影(Ghosting)。最終,在指紋識別階段,此鬼影成為採集指紋圖像的底紋,從而影響指紋識別率。 For example, FIG. 2 is a working stage diagram of the under-display optical fingerprint recognition device shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3A is an example diagram of image sensing of the image sensing module 11a shown in FIG. 1 before image acquisition, FIG. 3B is an example diagram of image sensing of the image sensing module 11a shown in FIG. 1 during image acquisition, and FIG. 3C is an image of the image sensing module 11a shown in FIG. 1 after image acquisition Sensing example diagram. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3A, in the presence of a certain intensity of ambient light, part of the PIN photodiode of the image sensing module 11a (that is, the photosensor 111a) generates a photocurrent pair due to the absorption of photons. The capacitor 112a is charged, causing some pixel units to complete pixel sensing, so that the image sensing module 11a contains a sensing signal corresponding to the first image A1. Further, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3B, when the under-screen optical fingerprint collection circuit formally executes the fingerprint collection operation, all pixel units complete pixel sensing, so that the image sensing module 11a contains the corresponding second Sensing signal for image A2. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3C, in the sensing signal readout stage, the readout circuit 121a reads out a sensing signal from the image sensing module 11a, and the image processing unit 122a processes the sensing signal. After a series of signal processing, a collected fingerprint image is obtained. It is worth noting that since there is an overlapping image A21 between the second image A2 and the first image A1, the acquired fingerprint image includes the second image A2 and the overlapping image A21. Image A21 is commonly known as ghosting (Ghosting). Finally, in the fingerprint identification stage, this ghost image becomes the shading pattern of the collected fingerprint image, thereby affecting the fingerprint identification rate.

為了清除缺陷電荷或殘留電荷,中國專利公開號CN110929645A揭示一種具清除殘留電荷功能的影像感測裝置,其中該影像感測裝置同樣包括:一影像感測模組以及一影像處理模組,其中該影像處理12同樣包括一讀出電路和一影像處理單元。特別地,該讀出電路含有一電荷釋放單元,用以協助清除該影像感測模組的複數個電容的殘留電荷。通常,該電荷釋放單元是直接整合在該影像感測模組之中。然而,實務經驗顯示,將該電荷釋放單元整合在該影像感測模組之中會導致填充因子(Fill factor)變小,同時也會降低該影像感測模組的光感測器使用效率。 In order to remove defective charges or residual charges, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN110929645A discloses an image sensing device with the function of removing residual charges, wherein the image sensing device also includes: an image sensing module and an image processing module, wherein the The image processing 12 also includes a readout circuit and an image processing unit. In particular, the readout circuit includes a charge release unit for assisting in clearing the residual charges of the plurality of capacitors of the image sensing module. Usually, the charge releasing unit is directly integrated in the image sensing module. However, practical experience shows that integrating the charge releasing unit in the image sensing module will result in a smaller fill factor, and also reduce the utilization efficiency of the light sensor of the image sensing module.

另一方面,依據中國專利公開號CN110929645A所揭示內容,亦可將該電荷釋放單元整合在該讀出電路之中,如此便可優化光感測器使用效率並提升影像感測模組的填充因子。在此情況下,執行殘留電荷清除操作之時,各所述電容112a可經由電荷釋放單元進行放電。然而,在強光或者低溫等極端環境下,若無施加足夠高的正電壓至各所述電容112a,則電容112a在經由電荷釋放單元進行放電之後,還是會有殘留電荷。換句話說,習知技術所教示的技術方案並無法完全清除強光殘影。 On the other hand, according to the content disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN110929645A, the charge release unit can also be integrated in the readout circuit, so that the use efficiency of the light sensor can be optimized and the fill factor of the image sensor module can be improved. . In this case, each of the capacitors 112a may be discharged through the charge releasing unit when performing the residual charge clearing operation. However, in extreme environments such as strong light or low temperature, if no sufficiently high positive voltage is applied to each of the capacitors 112a, the capacitors 112a will still have residual charges after being discharged through the charge releasing unit. In other words, the technical solution taught by the prior art cannot completely remove the glare afterimage.

由上述說明可知,本領域亟需一種強光殘影清除電路。 It can be seen from the above description that there is an urgent need for a strong light afterimage removal circuit in the field.

本發明之主要目的在於提供一種強光殘影清除電路,其係和一電源管理電路一同設置在一軟性電路板之上,用以在一強光殘影清除階段工作,從而將該電源管理電路所傳送的工作電壓轉換成一正電壓,且將該正電壓傳送至包括複數個畫素單元的一影像感測模組的一偏置電壓端,使各個畫素單元所包含之電容向一讀出電路放電,藉此方式清除各所述電容所含有的殘留電荷。 The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a strong light afterimage removal circuit, which is arranged on a flexible circuit board together with a power management circuit, to work in a strong light afterimage removal stage, so that the power management circuit The transmitted operating voltage is converted into a positive voltage, and the positive voltage is transmitted to a bias voltage terminal of an image sensing module including a plurality of pixel units, so that the capacitance contained in each pixel unit is sent to a readout The circuit discharges, thereby clearing the residual charge contained in each of said capacitors.

圖8為圖5所示之屏下光學指紋識別裝置的第一工作階段圖。如圖5與圖8所示,在曝光階段,智慧型手機3的OLED面板發光以照射按壓在一指紋採集區的手指。接著,在指紋採集階段,該屏下光學指紋識別裝置1的影像感測模組11接收該手指的反射光,從而該影像感測模組11的所有的畫素單元完成一畫素感測操作,此時該影像感測模組11含有對應一指紋圖像的感測信號。如圖5、圖7與圖8所示,在系統(即,應用處理器)喚醒該讀出電路(ROIC)121之後,讀出電路121處於All gate on狀態,此時,本發明之強光殘影清除電路2產生一正電壓至該影像感測模組11的該偏置電壓端。由於複數個所述畫素單元係共用同一個偏置電壓端,因此,此正電壓可以驅動各所述畫素單元之電容112向該讀出電路121放電,藉此方式清除各所述電容112所含有的殘留電荷。如此一來,在感測信號讀出階段,該讀出電路121自該影像感測模組11讀出一感測信號,且該影像處理單元122在對該感測信號進行一系列的信號處理之後,即獲得一不包含任何強光殘影(即,Ghosting)之採集指紋圖像。最終,在識別階段,影像處理單元122在完成該採集指紋圖像和一指紋模板的特徵匹配之後,即完成指紋識別。 FIG. 8 is a diagram of the first working stage of the under-display optical fingerprint recognition device shown in FIG. 5 . As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 8 , in the exposure stage, the OLED panel of the smart phone 3 emits light to illuminate a finger pressing on a fingerprint collection area. Next, in the fingerprint collection stage, the image sensing module 11 of the under-screen optical fingerprint recognition device 1 receives the reflected light from the finger, so that all pixel units of the image sensing module 11 complete a pixel sensing operation , at this time the image sensing module 11 contains a sensing signal corresponding to a fingerprint image. As shown in Fig. 5, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, after the system (that is, the application processor) wakes up the readout circuit (ROIC) 121, the readout circuit 121 is in the All gate on state. At this time, the strong light of the present invention The afterimage removal circuit 2 generates a positive voltage to the bias voltage terminal of the image sensing module 11 . Since a plurality of pixel units share the same bias voltage terminal, this positive voltage can drive the capacitor 112 of each pixel unit to discharge to the readout circuit 121, thereby clearing each capacitor 112 contained residual charge. In this way, in the sensing signal readout stage, the readout circuit 121 reads out a sensing signal from the image sensing module 11, and the image processing unit 122 performs a series of signal processing on the sensing signal Afterwards, a collected fingerprint image that does not contain any strong light afterimage (ie, Ghosting) is obtained. Finally, in the identification stage, the image processing unit 122 completes the fingerprint identification after completing feature matching between the collected fingerprint image and a fingerprint template.

更詳細地說明,如圖7與圖8所示,在讀出電路121處於All gate on狀態(即,喚醒階段)時執行所述強光殘影清除操作。此時,透過令該使能信號En具有例如為3V的高電位而使該N型MOSFET元件21導通,從而帶動該P型MOSFET元件22導通,從而使該第二電壓VDD2經由該P型MOSFET元件22的元件通道而傳送至該偏置電壓端。換句話說,執行強光殘影清除操作時,係以該第二直流電壓轉換器132所輸出的第二電壓VDD2為所述正電壓從而驅動各所述畫素單元之電容112向該讀出電路121放電,藉此方式清除各所述電容112所含有的殘留電荷。補充說明的是,在實務應用方面,如圖6與圖7所示, 可令該讀出單元1212具有一電荷釋放單元121Q。如此設計,在各所述畫素單元的該電容112受該正電壓驅動之時,該電荷釋放單元121Q可與所述電容112形成一放電迴路,使得電容112可以通過該放電迴路放電。 In more detail, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , the strong light afterimage removal operation is performed when the readout circuit 121 is in the All gate on state (ie, in the wake-up phase). At this time, by making the enable signal En have a high potential of, for example, 3V, the N-type MOSFET element 21 is turned on, thereby driving the P-type MOSFET element 22 to be turned on, so that the second voltage V DD2 passes through the P-type MOSFET The element channel of the element 22 is transmitted to the bias voltage terminal. In other words, when performing the strong light afterimage removal operation, the second voltage V DD2 output by the second DC voltage converter 132 is used as the positive voltage to drive the capacitor 112 of each pixel unit to the read voltage. The output circuit 121 is discharged, thereby clearing the residual charge contained in each of the capacitors 112 . It is supplemented that, in terms of practical application, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 , the readout unit 1212 may have a charge release unit 121Q. In such a design, when the capacitor 112 of each pixel unit is driven by the positive voltage, the charge releasing unit 121Q can form a discharge circuit with the capacitor 112 so that the capacitor 112 can be discharged through the discharge circuit.

如圖7與圖8所示,在非工作期間(即,未啟動強光殘影清除操作),係透過令該使能信號En具有低電位而使該N型MOSFET元件21關斷,從而帶動該P型MOSFET元件22關斷。此時,該偏置電壓端耦接一偏置電壓電壓VB,以驅動各所述畫素單元的該光感測器111接收光子以產生光電流。 As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, during the non-working period (that is, the strong light afterimage removal operation is not activated), the N-type MOSFET element 21 is turned off by making the enable signal En have a low potential, thereby driving The P-type MOSFET element 22 is turned off. At this time, the bias voltage terminal is coupled to a bias voltage V B to drive the light sensor 111 of each pixel unit to receive photons to generate photocurrent.

圖9為圖5所示之屏下光學指紋識別裝置的第二工作階段圖。熟悉影像感測模組11之讀出電路121的設計與製造的電子工程師必然知道,如圖9所示,在喚醒所述讀出電路(RQIC)121之後,必須在執行曝光階段之前,先對各所述畫素單元執行一復位操作(通常是逐行操作),以清除各所述畫素單元所包含之電容112內的電荷。此時,可以透過令該使能信號En具有例如為3V的高電位而使本發明之強光殘影清除電路2執行所述強光殘影清除操作,即,產生一正電壓至該影像感測模組11的該偏置電壓端,從而驅動各所述畫素單元之電容112向該讀出電路121的該電荷釋放單元121Q(即,放電迴路)放電,藉此方式清除各所述電容112所含有的殘留電荷。應知道,這個殘留電荷不只是強環境光所造成,也可能同時包含前一次讀出階段結束後所殘留的電荷。 FIG. 9 is a diagram of the second working stage of the under-display optical fingerprint recognition device shown in FIG. 5 . Electronic engineers who are familiar with the design and manufacture of the readout circuit 121 of the image sensing module 11 must know that, as shown in FIG. Each pixel unit performs a reset operation (usually a row-by-row operation) to clear the charge in the capacitor 112 included in each pixel unit. At this time, the strong light sticking image removal circuit 2 of the present invention can perform the strong light sticking image clearing operation by making the enable signal En have a high potential of, for example, 3V, that is, generate a positive voltage to the image sensor. Measure the bias voltage terminal of the module 11, thereby driving the capacitor 112 of each pixel unit to discharge to the charge release unit 121Q (that is, the discharge circuit) of the readout circuit 121, thereby clearing each capacitor 112 contains the residual charge. It should be known that this residual charge is not only caused by strong ambient light, but may also include the residual charge after the previous readout phase.

由圖8與圖9可知,透過調整所述使能信號En的工作時序的方式,可以彈性地控制本發明之強光殘影清除電路2在喚醒階段或者復位階段執行所述強光殘影清除操作。 It can be seen from Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 that by adjusting the working timing of the enable signal En, the strong light afterimage removal circuit 2 of the present invention can be flexibly controlled to execute the strong light afterimage removal in the wake-up phase or the reset phase operate.
