Abstract
Description
- This application claims the priority of U.S. provisional patent application No. 63/089,055, filed on Oct. 8, 2020, which is incorporated herewith by reference.
- The present invention relates generally to a display device, and more particularly to a display device and an image sensing method applicable to fingerprint image recognition.
- With the development of mobile phone technology and the continuous growing demands from mobile phone users, the display screen of the smart phone has been developed towards a full-screen design for a better user experience, wherein, to provide unlock recognition, under-screen optical fingerprint recognition is currently a common solution on the market, which is not only used in smart phones, but also building fingerprint recognition systems, corporate attendance fingerprint recognition systems, and so on.
- There are currently three development directions for under-screen fingerprint recognition using Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) screens: (1) arranging at least one thin complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor directly below the screen to be flatly attached to the bottom of the screen, and the gap between the sub-pixels of the OLED allowing light to pass through, thereby identifying fingerprints. The above technical features are similar to one-piece on glass solution (OGS) or one-piece touch on lens (TOL) of a capacitive touch panel, which can also become a miniature sensor chip and used an imaging lens set to make a lens-based sensor module to be assembled under the display screen; (2) using a thin film transistor process, and using the sensitivity to visible light of amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and polysilicon (poly-Si) to produce light sensitive elements on a glass substrate or a flexible substrate (such as polyimide film), and mounted under the OLED screen, which can also be used as a sealing glass to seal with the OLED panel to sense fingerprint information. The above technical features are similar to capacitive touch panels, also known as on-cells by those with ordinary knowledge in the art; (3) inserting image sensors between the pixels of OLEDs, an organic photodiode (OPD) being disposed on the thin-film transistor (TFT) substrate, in addition to each set of pixels (R/GB), as a sensing element. The above technical features are similar to capacitive touch panels, also known as in-cell by those with ordinary knowledge in the art.
- However, the problem of using the aforementioned solution (1) is that as users pursue the image quality of display devices, and the design and process technology of OLED display devices mature, the unit pixels on OLED panels are increasing, making the gap between the sub-pixels of the OLED gradually decreasing, and more difficult for the under-screen fingerprint recognition technology to allow the light penetrate through the gaps between the sub-pixels of the OLED, which makes the implementation of the aforementioned solution (1) less feasible. In addition, the problem of using the aforementioned solution (2) is the same as those of the aforementioned solution (1), which makes the implementation of the aforementioned solution (2) more difficult. The problem of using the aforementioned solution (3) is that the technical solution of shrinking the image sensor and inserting it between the pixels of the OLED causes the number of the unit pixels on the OLED panel to decrease, thereby reducing the resolution of the OLED panel.

As shown inFIG. 1 , thedisplay device 100 according to the present invention includes: asubstrate 11, a plurality ofunit pixel 12, and acover panel 13. Thesubstrate 11 has an upper surface 111 and a lower surface 112. Thecover panel 13 is disposed on the upper surface 111 of thesubstrate 11. Theunit pixels 12 are disposed on thesubstrate 11. - Refer to
FIG. 2 , which shows exemplary details of thedisplay device 100.

- Specifically, the wavelength of the blue incident light B according to the present invention may be between 430 nm and 495 nm, but the present invention is not limited hereto.
- Specifically, referring to
FIG. 2 , thedisplay device 100 may be an organic light emitting diode display (OLED display). In some embodiments, theunit pixel 12 includes ananode 21, a hole transport layer 22, a light-emittinglayer 23, anelectron transport layer 24, and acathode 25. Apixel circuit 14 is provided on thesubstrate 11, and is coupled to each of theunit pixels 12 to control each of theunit pixels 12. Aplanarization dielectric layer 15 is provided between theunit pixel 12 and thepixel circuit 14. As shown inFIG. 2 , theplanarization dielectric layer 15 is provided with barrier wells 16 (bank) fabricated in advance by a yellow light etching process, and theanode 21 of theunit pixel 12 is connected to thecorresponding pixel circuit 14 by passing through the via holes between thebarrier wells 16. According to some embodiments, thedisplay device 100 further includes anencapsulation layer 17 disposed between theunit pixel 12 and thecover panel 13.

In the present invention, the term “isolation” covers both electrical isolation and physical isolation. - Specifically, refer to
FIG. 3 , which illustrates the absorption spectrum and the emission spectrum of the host material of the display device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, as shown inFIG. 3 , thedisplay device 100 according to the present invention is an organic light-emitting diode display device, but currently the conventional organic light-emitting diode display devices generally use fluorescent materials or phosphorescent materials as the host material for light-emitting layer. The main characteristic of the organic material is that when the molecules inside the material absorb radiant energy higher than its own energy, the electrons are excited from the ground state to an excited state with higher energy, and then the electrons in the excited state decays to the ground state to generate light. It can be understood that thedisplay device 100 according to the present invention can also generate a corresponding image electrical signal by absorbing radiant energy higher than its own energy. - Specifically, the
unit pixels 12 are disposed on thesubstrate 11. In some embodiments, as shown inFIG. 1 , thesubstrate 11 has an upper surface 111 and a lower surface 112, and theunit pixels 12 are disposed between the upper surface 111 of thesubstrate 11 and thecover panel 13.

FIG. 4 , which is a schematic view illustrating that light emitted from the light-emitting area is reflected to the sensing area after irradiating onto the test object to be measured. Theunit pixels 12 on thedisplay device 100 emit light alternately. When a part of theunit pixels 12 emit light, the unit pixels are said to be in a light-emitting state (not shown). At the same time, when another part of theunit pixels 12 do not emit light, the unit pixels are said to be in a sensing state. As shown inFIG. 4 , in some embodiments, theblue unit pixels 123 in the light-emitting state are used as the light-emitting area 31, and thered unit pixels 121 in the sensing state are used as the sensing area 32. A part of theblue unit pixels 123 of the light-emitting area 31 emit an incident light R1 to thetest object 200, the incident light R1 emitted to thetest object 200 is reflected to generate a reflected light R2. A part of thered light unit 121 in the sensing area 32 receives the reflected light R2 and generates a corresponding image electrical signal. It is understandable that, according to the above absorption spectrum and emission spectrum, the reason for usingblue unit pixel 123 as the light-emitting area 31 is to ensure that the molecules inside the organic material of the sensing area 32 absorb radiant energy higher than their own energy to generate the corresponding image electrical signal, but the invention is not limited hereto. - Refer to
