Description

Input device with fingerprint sensor and portable electronic device including same

The present invention relates to an input device having a fingerprint sensor and a portable electronic device including the same.

Recently, as public attention has focused on portable electronic devices, such as smartphones and tablet PCs, research and development in the related technical fields are actively progressing. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Portable electronic devices often incorporate a touch screen integrated with a display, which is a display device, as one of input devices for receiving a specific command from a user. In addition, the portable electronic device may have various function keys or soft keys as input devices other than the touch screen.

1 illustrates a general shape of a smartphone that is a portable electronic device. Referring to FIG. 1, a display unit 1100 is installed on a front surface of the portable electronic device 1000. The display unit 1100 includes a capacitive touch screen. When the user's body (finger, etc.) comes into contact with the display unit, the display unit 1100 detects a change in capacitance of the built-in capacitor to detect whether or not the touch is performed.

Capacitive touch screens are very convenient in that they are responsive, do not need a separate input tool, and can be multi-touched, but they can only be detected if the user touches the touch screen over a certain area or pressure. And, this has a disadvantage that the precise input is difficult.

To solve this problem, a touch screen technology using an electronic pen has been introduced. The electronic pen is also called an Electro-Magnetic Resonance (EMR) pen and has a capacitor and a coil inside. The loop coil is disposed on the touch screen, and electromagnetic waves generated by conducting current through the loop coil are absorbed by the electromagnetic pen, and the electromagnetic pen emits the absorbed electromagnetic waves at a specific frequency. The loop coil of the touch screen is the specific frequency. By absorbing again the electromagnetic wave, the position of the electromagnetic pen is detected. The touch screen input method by the electronic pen gives a feeling of a writing tool familiar to the user, and can transmit a more precise touch feeling. In addition, even when the user touches the hand with the touch screen to use the pen, it is possible to selectively recognize only the input of the pen.

Recently, by combining a capacitive method and an electromagnetic pen method, a composite touch screen that can be used for both cases has been developed and commercialized.

Meanwhile, a home key 1200 and a function key 1300 may be provided under the portable electronic apparatus 1000 to perform various functions such as execution check, undo, menu display, and reversion. The home key 1200 or the function key 1300 is an input device separate from the display unit 1100 having a touch screen, and in theory, such as a mechanical switching key or a display unit 1100, Electromagnetic pen type input is possible, but in practice, the mechanical switching key (used mainly for the home key 1200) or the capacitive sensor (mainly used for the function key 1300) due to limitations in the accommodation space. Use) has been used.

Accordingly, in order to use the function key 1300 while the user inputs a command to the display unit 1100 using the electronic pen method, various inconveniences in the user experience, such as having to touch the function key 1300 with a finger instead of the electronic pen, are required. There was this.

On the other hand, in recent years, as the security of the portable electronic device is important, a form in which a fingerprint sensor is embedded in the home key 1200 has been introduced. The fingerprint sensor is a sensor for detecting a human finger fingerprint. The fingerprint sensor protects data stored in a portable electronic device and prevents a security accident by performing a user registration or authentication procedure through the fingerprint sensor.

Portable electronics also incorporate navigation into the fingerprint sensor to perform pointer manipulation, such as cursors. In addition, a switching function that receives information from a user may be integrated into the fingerprint sensor.

However, in the related art, since the home key 1200 of the fingerprint sensor type and the function key 1300 of the capacitive type are mounted separately on the portable electronic device, the process inefficiency and the cost increase due to the separate process are required. There was a problem. In addition, as described above, when the display unit 1100 supports the electronic pen input, the function key 1300 may cause inconvenience in the user experience when using the electronic pen.

In addition, when a part is said to "include" a certain component, this means that it may further include other components, without excluding the other components unless otherwise stated.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2 (a) is a perspective view of an input device for a portable electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 (b) is a plan view thereof. Here, the portable electronic device includes a mobile phone, a smartphone, a PDA, a tablet PC, a notebook computer, a portable sound player (MP3 player), and all portable electronic devices of a similar type.

As shown, the input device 10 includes a base substrate 100, a fingerprint sensor module 200, and a composite sensor 300. Here, the composite sensor 300 is shown as being composed of two sensors 300a; 300b respectively installed on both the left and right sides of the fingerprint sensor module 200, but may be composed of one or three or more sensors. The fingerprint sensor module 200 corresponds to the home key 1200 of the portable electronic apparatus 1000 shown in FIG. 1, and the two

composite detection sensors

300a and 300b include two function keys 1300a shown in FIG. 1. 1300b).

The fingerprint sensor module 200 is located on the base substrate 100 and includes a fingerprint sensor that recognizes a user's fingerprint. The fingerprint sensor module 200 may further include a dome switch that recognizes a user's finger press.

The composite sensor 300 is spaced apart from the fingerprint sensor module 200 on the base substrate 100 and senses the approach or contact of the conductor and the electronic pen. As such, the fingerprint sensor module 200 and the composite sensor 300 are integrally installed on the same base substrate 100, and the fingerprint sensor module 200 is mounted by mounting the packaged input device on the portable electronic device. Compared to the case where the and the multiple sensor 300 are mounted in a portable electronic device in a separate process, the process is simpler, the cost is reduced, and the process time can be shortened.

First, the configuration, function, and action of the specific fingerprint sensor module 200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7 below, and the configuration, function, and action of the specific composite sensor 300 will be described with reference to FIG. It will be described later with reference to 8 and FIG.

3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ of FIG. 2B, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the fingerprint sensor shown in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a schematic configuration diagram of the fingerprint sensor shown in FIG. 3.

As shown, the fingerprint sensor module 200 may include a bracket 210, a fingerprint sensor 220, a bezel 230, and a coating layer 240. The fingerprint sensor 220 includes a connection part 221 having an external interface connection line and having flexibility, and the connection part 221 may be connected to the upper or lower surface of the base substrate 100 through the adhesive 500. . Detailed configuration thereof will be described later.

The bracket 210 is a member for fixing the fingerprint sensor 220 and determines the overall shape of the fingerprint sensor module 200. The material of the bracket 210 is not particularly limited, but when the fingerprint sensor module 200 is used for a flexible substrate or a flexible display, the bracket 210 may be formed of a flexible material.

The fingerprint sensor 220 is a member having a fingerprint sensing function, and is positioned above the bracket 210 and includes a sensing unit 223 formed on the flexible substrate 222 and a sensor circuit unit electrically connected to the sensing unit 223. 224) (see FIG. 5).

The configuration of the sensing unit 223 and the sensor circuit unit 224 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5. The sensing unit 223 is provided on the upper surface of the substrate 222, and the sensor circuit unit 224 is provided on the lower surface of the substrate 222. FIG. 5A illustrates a top surface of the substrate 222 and FIG. 5B illustrates a bottom surface of the substrate 222, and FIG. 5C illustrates a sensing unit 223 and a sensor circuit unit (FIG. 5A). 224) is a schematic diagram showing the electrical connection relationship clearly.

The substrate 222 may be a flexible substrate, for example, but may be made of a polymide film, but is not limited thereto.

The sensing unit 223 includes a plurality of driving electrodes 223a and image receiving electrodes 223b formed on the substrate 222. The driving electrode 223a and the image receiving electrode 223b may be formed of conductor lines.

The driving electrode 223a receives the driving signal from the sensor circuit unit 224 and transmits a signal to the image receiving electrode 223b. The image receiving electrode 223b receives a signal transmitted from the driving electrode 223a via a user (previously, a user's finger).

One end portion of the image receiving electrode 223b positioned on the upper surface of the substrate 222 is formed to extend in the horizontal direction. The plurality of driving electrodes 223a are spaced apart from each other so as to be perpendicular to the direction in which the image receiving electrode 223b extends (see FIG. 5A). The image receiving electrode 223b is electrically connected to the sensor circuit unit 224 on the bottom surface of the substrate 222.

One end of the plurality of driving electrodes 223a is spaced apart from the image receiving electrode 223b by a predetermined distance. In addition, the other ends of the plurality of driving electrodes 223a are electrically connected to the sensor circuit unit 224 on the bottom surface of the substrate 222.

As shown in FIG. 5, the driving electrode 223a and the image receiving electrode 223b are spaced apart from each other, and the driving signal transmitted from the driving electrode 223a is received by the image receiving electrode 223b via a user. At this time, it is possible to recognize the fingerprint by measuring the electric field change according to the presence or absence of the fingerprint bone or fingerprint acid located on the user's finger.

In the accompanying drawings, only nine driving electrodes 223a are displayed, but this is merely an example, and 200 driving electrodes may be installed. A time-divided driving signal is supplied to the plurality of driving electrodes 223a, and the signals are sequentially received from the image receiving electrode 223b to receive a line of fingerprint information. When the user slides his or her finger with respect to the fingerprint sensor 220, by stacking the above-described fingerprint information, one overall fingerprint image is obtained.

On the other hand, the fingerprint sensor 200 may be implemented with more image receiving electrode than the driving electrode. In this case, in response to the driving signal applied from the driving electrode, the plurality of image receiving electrodes measure the electric field change depending on the presence or absence of the fingerprint bone or the fingerprint acid, thereby enabling the recognition of the fingerprint.

Referring again to FIGS. 5B and 5C, the sensor circuit unit 224 may have an external interface connection line 225 electrically connected to the outside. The external interface connection line 225 is provided on the connection unit 221 described above, and may be, for example, a universal serial bus (USB) or a serial peripheral interface (SPI) connection line.

The connecting portion 221 is formed integrally with the flexible substrate 22 and thus has flexibility. The connection part 221 has a shape protruding from the fingerprint sensor module 200, and since the connection part 221 is flexible, the connection part 221 is bent greatly, and the tip 221a is used as an adhesive 500 to form a base substrate ( 100 may be connected to the bottom surface (see FIG. 3). The adhesive 500 may be made of, for example, an anisotropic conductive film (ACF).

As described above, the fingerprint sensor 220 may be implemented in a chip-on-flex method. In particular, the sensing unit 223, that is, only the driving electrode 223a and the image receiving electrode 223b is formed on the upper surface of the substrate 222, and the sensor circuit unit 224 connected to the sensing unit 223 on the lower surface of the substrate 222. ), The overall appearance can be made compact. In addition, by not providing a sensor circuit on the upper surface of the substrate 222, it is easier to install the glass on the fingerprint sensor module 200, which is a particularly useful effect in a portable electronic device such as a smart phone. In addition, unlike the related art, the fingerprint sensor 220 is implemented on a flexible substrate, but does not necessarily require a metal bezel for driving electrodes, thereby helping to soften the fingerprint sensor module and even electronic devices, and in terms of cost. Is advantageous.

The fingerprint sensor 220 basically has a function of detecting a fingerprint. To this end, the fingerprint sensor 220 may store information on the feature points of the fingerprint (for example, the part where the fingerprint is divided, such as the 'Y' point), and compare the feature points to detect whether the fingerprints match. have. In this case, the time required for fingerprint detection can be shortened, and miniaturization can be achieved through the simplification of the processor, so that the mountability to the electronic device can be improved.

Meanwhile, the fingerprint sensor 220 may have a pointer manipulation function together with a fingerprint detection function. That is, the fingerprint sensor 220 may include a pointer manipulation function that detects a change over time of the user fingerprint image and moves a pointer such as a cursor based on the movement.

Referring to FIG. 3 again, the bezel 230 is positioned at the side of the fingerprint sensor 220 to form an edge of the fingerprint sensor 220. Accordingly, the user may recognize the area where the fingerprint sensor module 200 is located in the portable electronic device through the bezel 230. The bezel 230 may be formed to cover all or part of the edge of the fingerprint sensor 220. The bezel 230 is generally made of resin or rubber, but is not particularly limited thereto.

The bezel 230 may be formed to be integrated with the bracket 210. For example, the bezel 230 and the bracket 210 may be formed at the same time by injection. Here, the bezel 230 may be formed to support a portion having flexibility of the fingerprint sensor 220. In detail, the bezel 230 may serve as a support for fixing the substrate 222 to prevent the flexible substrate 222 from shaking due to the step caused by the sensor circuit unit 224.

The coating layer 240 is positioned above the bezel 230 and the fingerprint sensor 220. The coating layer 240 may be implemented as a plurality of layers, and various functions are performed according to the function of the layer.

For example, the coating layer 240 may include a post-processing layer (not shown) made of a thin film using paint. The post-processing layer may be formed by, for example, a printing process, a color spray process, a primer process, or an UV coating process.

The coating layer 240 may implement a variety of functions such as implementing colors in the fingerprint sensor module 200 or reinforcing the upper surface strength of the fingerprint sensor module 200. In particular, since the fingerprint sensor 220 includes a sensing unit 223 and a sensor circuit unit 224 disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the flexible substrate, the effect of the strength reinforcement as described above is more useful. In order to enable the fingerprint sensor 220 to perform appropriate fingerprint sensing, it is known that the thickness of the coating layer 240 including the post-processing layer is 0.1 mm or less.

The lower surface of the bracket 210 may be provided with a dome switch 250. That is, the dome switch 250 may be located between the bracket 210 and the base substrate 100. The dome switch 250 is a mechanical or electrical switching element capable of detecting a user's pressing and receiving a desired information or command. The dome switch 250 includes a user to switch a pointed menu or icon. This makes it easy to choose.

As described above, the configuration of the input device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of an input device for a portable electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention (sectional view along the line AA ′ of FIG. 2B), and FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the fingerprint sensor of FIG. 6. Is shown.

Unlike the previous embodiment, in the fingerprint sensor module 200 according to the present embodiment, the dome switch 250 is positioned below the base substrate 100. In addition, in the fingerprint sensor 220, the connection part 221 protrudes toward the side of the fingerprint sensor module 200. Therefore, instead of connecting the connecting portion 221 of the fingerprint sensor 220 to the lower surface of the base substrate 100 as in the previous embodiment, the dome switch 250 is disposed on the lower surface of the base substrate 100, The connection part 221 of the fingerprint sensor 220 is coupled to the upper surface of the base substrate 100, specifically, between a region where the fingerprint sensor module 200 and the composite sensor 300 are located by using an adhesive.

Next, the composite sensor 300 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.

8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a process of detecting a capacitance change by a composite sensor provided in an input device for a portable electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 9 is an input for a portable electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention It is a schematic diagram showing a process of detecting a magnetic field change by the composite sensor provided in the device.

As described above, the composite sensor 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention may detect the approach or contact of a conductor such as a conductive pen instead of a user's finger or the like through a change in capacitance. In addition, the magnetic pen can detect the approach or contact of the electronic pen. That is, the composite sensor 300 may be both capacitive sensing and electromagnetic inductive sensing. Therefore, while the user uses the touch screen of the display unit by using the electronic pen, the user can continuously operate a separate function key by using the electronic pen.

8 illustrates a capacitive sensing process. The complex sensor 300 includes a transmitting electrode 310 and a receiving electrode 320 provided on a substrate. The transmitting electrode 310 receives a driving signal from a separate circuit unit and transmits the driving signal to the outside, and the receiving electrode 320 receives the driving signal transmitted through a conductor (user). When the user U approaches or touches the composite detection sensor 300 to a sufficient degree, the electric field E formed from the transmitting electrode 310 to the receiving electrode 320 is different from the case where the user does not approach or contact. This is recognized as a change in capacitance. Therefore, it is possible to detect whether the user U makes a touch.

9 illustrates a sensing process of an electromagnetic induction method using an electromagnetic pen. Herein, the electromagnetic pen is a pen using electromagnetic waves, and generally refers to an EMR pen and a magnetic pen.

The composite sensor 300 includes a loop coil 330 and a magnetic sensor 340 provided on a substrate for sensing of electromagnetic. When a current is conducted to the loop coil 330, a magnetic field M is generated, and the magnetic field M is absorbed by the electromagnetic pen 600.

The electromagnetic pen 600 includes a condenser 610 and a coil 620 and may emit the absorbed magnetic field M at a predetermined frequency. The magnetic field M emitted by the electromagnetic pen 600 may be absorbed again by the loop coil 330 of the composite sensor 300, and accordingly, the magnetic sensor 340 may have a sufficient magnitude for the electromagnetic pen 600. It is possible to detect whether or not access or contact. When a plurality of loop coils 330 are installed, it is possible to sense not only whether the electromagnetic pen 600 approaches / contacts, but also whether the electromagnetic pen 600 approaches / contacts.

After installing the fingerprint sensor module 200 and the composite sensor 300 as described above on the base substrate 100, a process such as attaching a glass on the upper side or mounting the electronic device may be continued. . Description thereof will be omitted since it is outside the scope of the present invention.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, by placing the fingerprint sensor module and the composite sensor on the same base substrate, the integrated input device having a fingerprint sensor and the composite sensor and a portable electronic device including the same It can be provided. In particular, it is possible to provide a home key that has a security function and is easy to use using a fingerprint sensor. In addition, by using a composite sensor capable of capacitive type and electromagnetic pen type input, it is possible to provide a function key giving an excellent user experience.

The foregoing description of the present invention is intended for illustration, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be easily modified in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. will be. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive. For example, each component described as a single type may be implemented in a distributed manner, and similarly, components described as distributed may be implemented in a combined form.
