具体实施方式detailed description
正如背景技术所述,现有技术多采用电容式指纹成像技术与自发光显示面板的显示模组进行集成。As described in the background art, the prior art mostly uses capacitive fingerprint imaging technology to integrate with a display module of a self-luminous display panel.
为此,本发明提供一种显示模组中,将光学指纹传感器与自发光显示面板集成在一起,从而在实现显示的同时,能够实现指纹识别功能,并且,通过相应的结构设计,使得显示模组能够采集到清晰的指 纹图像,实现显示功能和指纹识别功能相互配合,使得用户对显示模组具有更好的使用体验。To this end, the present invention provides a display module in which an optical fingerprint sensor and a self-luminous display panel are integrated, so that a fingerprint recognition function can be realized while realizing display, and a display module is enabled by a corresponding structural design. Group can collect clear fingers The image image realizes the display function and the fingerprint recognition function to cooperate with each other, so that the user has a better use experience for the display module.
为使本发明的上述目的、特征和优点能够更为明显易懂,下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施例做详细的说明。The above described objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the aspects of the invention.
本说明书中,除图6和图7的部分内容外,其它内容中的上下关系,均是以将显示模组放置在用户眼睛下方,并且令保护层位于最上方的方位来进行定义的。也就是说,如果说一个结构位于另一个结构的上方,则说明当显示模组放置在用户眼睛下方且保护层位于最上方时,这个结构比另一个结构更加靠近用户眼睛,在此一并说明。In this specification, except for the parts of FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the upper and lower relationship in other contents is defined by placing the display module under the eyes of the user and positioning the protective layer at the top. That is to say, if one structure is located above the other structure, it means that when the display module is placed under the eyes of the user and the protective layer is at the top, the structure is closer to the user's eyes than the other structure. .
本发明实施例提供一种显示模组,请参考图1。The embodiment of the invention provides a display module. Please refer to FIG. 1 .
所述显示模组包括保护层110、自发光显示面板120、光学指纹传感器130和点状背光源140。自发光显示面板120位于保护层110下方。光线能够从上到下透过自发光显示面板120。保护层110下表面具有向上凹入的凹槽111,凹槽111位于自发光显示面板120的斜上方。点状背光源140部分位于凹槽111内,点状背光源发出的光线从凹槽111的其中一个表面进入保护层110,所述光线如图1中斜向上的箭头所示。图1中斜向下的箭头则表示相应的反射光线。为便于显示,各实施例的各图中,均忽略光线在不同光介质结构之间的折射,在此一并说明。The display module includes a protective layer 110, a self-luminous display panel 120, an optical fingerprint sensor 130, and a dot backlight 140. The self-luminous display panel 120 is located below the protective layer 110. Light can pass through the self-luminous display panel 120 from top to bottom. The lower surface of the protective layer 110 has an upwardly concave groove 111 which is located obliquely above the self-luminous display panel 120. The point backlight 140 is partially located in the recess 111, and the light from the point backlight enters the protective layer 110 from one of the surfaces of the recess 111, as shown by the oblique upward arrow in FIG. The oblique downward arrow in Figure 1 indicates the corresponding reflected light. For ease of display, the refraction of light between different optical media structures is neglected in each of the various embodiments, as described herein.
自发光显示面板120可以是位于保护层110正下方,并且可以是直接层叠于保护层110下表面,即两者直接接触。其它情况下,自发光显示面板120也可以通过光学胶粘贴在保护层110下表面。采用光学胶粘贴,可以使得保护层110和自发光显示面板120之间避免存在空气,进一步提高模组的光学性能。The self-luminous display panel 120 may be directly under the protective layer 110 and may be directly laminated on the lower surface of the protective layer 110, that is, the two are in direct contact. In other cases, the self-luminous display panel 120 may also be adhered to the lower surface of the protective layer 110 by optical glue. The optical adhesive can be used to avoid the presence of air between the protective layer 110 and the self-luminous display panel 120, thereby further improving the optical performance of the module.
前面提到,光线能够从上到下透过自发光显示面板120,其中,“从上到下”的具体方式可以是竖直向下、斜向下或者曲折向下。总之,光线能够从自发光显示面板120上方向下透过自发光显示面板 120,并继续向下传播。同时,自发光显示面板120在其它方向(如前后方向和左右方向)则不要求透光,并且这些方向上不透光更好。As mentioned above, the light can pass through the self-luminous display panel 120 from top to bottom, wherein the "from top to bottom" can be vertically downward, obliquely downward or meandering downward. In short, the light can pass through the self-luminous display panel from above the self-luminous display panel 120. 120, and continue to spread downward. Meanwhile, the self-luminous display panel 120 does not require light transmission in other directions (such as the front-rear direction and the left-right direction), and opaque light in these directions is better.
点状背光源140是部分位于凹槽111内。其它实施例中,点状背光源可以完全位于凹槽内,即点状背光源至少部分位于凹槽内。The dot backlight 140 is partially located within the recess 111. In other embodiments, the point backlight may be located entirely within the recess, i.e., the point backlight is at least partially located within the recess.
为控制整个显示模组具有良好的指纹识别性能,并且保证保护层110具备足够的机械强度,凹槽111的深度可以设置在0.1mm至0.5mm之间。In order to control the entire display module with good fingerprint recognition performance and to ensure that the protective layer 110 has sufficient mechanical strength, the depth of the groove 111 may be set between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm.
为使光线能够从上到下透过自发光显示面板120,自发光显示面板120的一种具体结构可以如图1所示,包括第一透光基板121、第二透光基板122以及第一透光基板121和第二透光基板122之间的自发光电路层123。自发光显示面板120中的自发光电路层123包括多个显示像素单元1231。图1中用虚线框示意出显示像素单元1231所在区域,及各个显示像素单元1231相邻关系。需要注意,虽然虚线框包括了部分第一透光基板121和第二透光基板122,但这只是为了便于显示,显示像素单元1231并不包括第一透光基板121和第二透光基板122。其它实施例的显示像素单元采用相同的虚线框显示方式,在此一并说明。每个显示像素单元1231包括至少一个非透光区和至少一个透光区。In order to enable the light to pass through the self-luminous display panel 120 from top to bottom, a specific structure of the self-luminous display panel 120 can be as shown in FIG. 1 , including the first transparent substrate 121 , the second transparent substrate 122 , and the first The self-luminous circuit layer 123 between the transparent substrate 121 and the second transparent substrate 122. The self-luminous circuit layer 123 in the self-luminous display panel 120 includes a plurality of display pixel units 1231. The area in which the pixel unit 1231 is located and the adjacent relationship of the respective display pixel units 1231 are indicated by a broken line in FIG. It should be noted that although the dotted line frame includes a portion of the first transparent substrate 121 and the second transparent substrate 122, this is only for the convenience of display, and the display pixel unit 1231 does not include the first transparent substrate 121 and the second transparent substrate 122. . The display pixel units of other embodiments adopt the same dotted frame display mode, which will be described together. Each display pixel unit 1231 includes at least one non-transmissive region and at least one light transmissive region.
自发光显示面板120还包括密封结构(未标注)。密封结构也位于第一透光基板121和第二透光基板122之间。密封结构与第一透光基板121和第二透光基板122一起,将自发光电路层123密封在第一透光基板121和第二透光基板122之间。The self-luminous display panel 120 also includes a sealing structure (not labeled). The sealing structure is also located between the first transparent substrate 121 and the second transparent substrate 122. The sealing structure, together with the first transparent substrate 121 and the second transparent substrate 122, seals the self-luminous circuit layer 123 between the first transparent substrate 121 and the second transparent substrate 122.
第一透光基板121和第二透光基板122的材料可以为透光材料,具体材料可以为无机玻璃或者有机玻璃,也可以是有机玻璃以外的其它塑料制品。The material of the first transparent substrate 121 and the second transparent substrate 122 may be a light transmissive material, and the specific material may be inorganic glass or organic glass, or may be other plastic products other than organic glass.
自发光显示面板120可以为OLED显示面板,此时自发光电路层123的显示像素单元1231可以包括阳极层、空穴注入层(HIL)、发 光层(EML)、电子注入层(EIL)和阴极层等结构,还可以具有空穴传输层(HTL)和电子传输层(ETL),还可以包括驱动OLED的TFT、驱动金属线和存储电容等结构。OLED显示面板的发光原理为:在一定电压驱动下,电子和空穴分别从阴极层和阳极层迁移到发光层,并在发光层中相遇,形成激子并使发光分子激发,发光分子经过辐射弛豫而发出光线。The self-luminous display panel 120 may be an OLED display panel. In this case, the display pixel unit 1231 of the self-luminous circuit layer 123 may include an anode layer, a hole injection layer (HIL), and a The structure of the light layer (EML), the electron injection layer (EIL), and the cathode layer may further have a hole transport layer (HTL) and an electron transport layer (ETL), and may further include a TFT for driving the OLED, a driving metal line, and a storage capacitor. And other structures. The luminescence principle of the OLED display panel is: under a certain voltage driving, electrons and holes migrate from the cathode layer and the anode layer to the luminescent layer, respectively, and meet in the luminescent layer to form excitons and excite the luminescent molecules, and the luminescent molecules undergo radiation. Relaxes and emits light.
上述发光层等结构可以位于相应的非透光区中。而在非透光区周边,显示像素单元1231具有相应的透光区。The above-mentioned light-emitting layer or the like may be located in the corresponding non-light transmitting region. In the periphery of the non-transparent area, the display pixel unit 1231 has a corresponding light transmissive area.
需要说明的是,其它实施例中,一个显示像素单元的透光区还可以与另一个显示像素单元的透光区连接在一起,形成一个范围更大的透光区,此时,这两个显示像素单元通常是相邻的,并且,两个显示像素单元相邻之间的区域也是一个透光区,从而能够使得三个透光区连接为一个大的透光区。It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the light transmissive area of one display pixel unit may be connected to the light transmissive area of another display pixel unit to form a wider transparent area. The display pixel units are generally adjacent, and the area between the two display pixel units adjacent to each other is also a light transmissive area, thereby enabling the three light transmissive areas to be connected as one large light transmissive area.
本实施例设置透光区的高度等于自发光电路层123的高度,如图1所示,从而保证光线能够从透光区穿过自发光电路层123(需要说明的是,自发光电路层123的各位置高度可能略有差别,但是至少部分位置的自发光电路层123的高度与透光区的高度相等)。而光线能够从透光区穿过自发光电路层123,保证了光线能够从下到下透过自发光显示面板120,进而保证显示模组能够进行指纹图像采集。由上述内容可知,光线在斜向下穿过所述自发光显示面板120时,通常包含穿过第一透光基板121、透光区和第二透光基板122。In this embodiment, the height of the light-transmitting region is set to be equal to the height of the self-light-emitting circuit layer 123, as shown in FIG. 1, so as to ensure that light can pass through the self-light-emitting circuit layer 123 from the light-transmitting region (it is noted that the self-light-emitting circuit layer 123) The height of each position may be slightly different, but the height of the self-illuminating circuit layer 123 at least a portion of the position is equal to the height of the light transmitting region). The light can pass through the self-illuminating circuit layer 123 from the light-transmitting area to ensure that the light can pass through the self-luminous display panel 120 from bottom to bottom, thereby ensuring that the display module can perform fingerprint image collection. It can be seen from the above that when the light passes obliquely downward through the self-luminous display panel 120, the light generally passes through the first transparent substrate 121, the light transmitting region and the second transparent substrate 122.
显示像素单元1231的发光层和驱动OLED的TFT、驱动金属线和存储电容等结构是需要有金属层,因此,构成了相应非透光区。而他们之间的间隙均可以设置为透光区,即在保证相应结构和功能的基础上,显示像素单元1231的其它结构都可以尽量采用透光结构制作,从而使得更多的光线能够穿过OLED显示面板(此穿过通常指从显示像素单元1231的高度穿过,高度通常也可称为厚度)。The structure in which the light-emitting layer of the pixel unit 1231 and the TFT for driving the OLED, the driving metal line, and the storage capacitor are required to have a metal layer, and thus, a corresponding non-light-transmitting region is formed. The gap between them can be set as a light-transmitting area, that is, on the basis of ensuring the corresponding structure and function, other structures of the display pixel unit 1231 can be made by using a light-transmitting structure as much as possible, so that more light can pass through. An OLED display panel (this pass generally refers to passing through the height of display pixel unit 1231, which is also commonly referred to as thickness).
显示像素单元1231的非透光区中,并不是整个区从上到下都是 非透光的。而是,这些区的底部具有非透光结构(图1中以各显示像素单元1231中的斜底纹部分示意)。即在非透光区发光层等结构上方的结构仍然是透光的,例如,发光层上方的结构透光,因此,发光层发出的光线才能够向上到达用户眼睛,从而保证OLED显示面板进行显示。In the non-transparent area of the display pixel unit 1231, not the entire area is from top to bottom. Non-transparent. Rather, the bottoms of these regions have a non-transmissive structure (illustrated in Fig. 1 as obliquely shaded portions in each display pixel unit 1231). That is, the structure above the structure such as the non-transmissive layer light-emitting layer is still transparent. For example, the structure above the light-emitting layer is transparent, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting layer can reach the user's eyes upward, thereby ensuring display of the OLED display panel. .
光学指纹传感器130可以包括指纹感测电路层(未示出)和衬底基板(未示出)。在一种情况下,所述指纹感测电路层位于第二透光基板122和所述衬底基板之间,此时,光学指纹传感器130可以为基于玻璃或塑料基板的以TFT(Thin Film Transistor,薄膜晶体管)工艺制作的图像传感器,即衬底基板可以为玻璃或塑料,光学指纹传感器130也可以是基于硅衬底且采用CMOS工艺制作的光学传感器,即衬底基板为硅衬底;在另一种情况下,所述衬底基板位于所述第二透光基板122和所述指纹感测电层之间,此时,所述衬底基板为透光材质,例如玻璃或塑料基板,光学指纹传感器130可以为基于玻璃或塑料基板、TFT工艺的背照式图像传感器。The optical fingerprint sensor 130 may include a fingerprint sensing circuit layer (not shown) and a substrate substrate (not shown). In one case, the fingerprint sensing circuit layer is located between the second transparent substrate 122 and the substrate. At this time, the optical fingerprint sensor 130 may be a TFT based on a glass or a plastic substrate (Thin Film Transistor). , the thin film transistor) process image sensor, that is, the substrate substrate may be glass or plastic, the optical fingerprint sensor 130 may also be an optical sensor based on a silicon substrate and fabricated by a CMOS process, that is, the substrate substrate is a silicon substrate; In another case, the base substrate is located between the second transparent substrate 122 and the fingerprint sensing electrical layer. At this time, the base substrate is a light transmissive material, such as a glass or plastic substrate. The optical fingerprint sensor 130 can be a back-illuminated image sensor based on a glass or plastic substrate, TFT process.
光学指纹传感器130的所述指纹感测电路层包括多个感光像素单元(感光像素单元前已提及,未示出)。每个所述感光像素单元包括感光二极管或其他光敏器件,相应的指纹反射光线能够被感光元件接收。The fingerprint sensing circuit layer of the optical fingerprint sensor 130 includes a plurality of photosensitive pixel units (the photosensitive pixel unit has been mentioned before, not shown). Each of the photosensitive pixel units includes a photodiode or other photosensitive device, and the corresponding fingerprint reflected light can be received by the photosensitive element.
点状背光源140可以为一个LED灯。所述LED灯的光可以为近紫外光、紫色光、蓝色光、绿色光、黄色光、红色光、近红外光或白色光。点状背光源140也可以为两个以上LED灯,两个以上LED灯可以是均匀分布在自发光显示面板120的不同侧边。The dot backlight 140 can be an LED light. The light of the LED lamp may be near ultraviolet light, purple light, blue light, green light, yellow light, red light, near infrared light or white light. The dot backlight 140 may also be two or more LED lamps, and the two or more LED lamps may be evenly distributed on different sides of the self-luminous display panel 120.
自发光显示面板120和光学指纹传感器130可以是直接层叠,“直接层叠”指光学指纹传感器130和自发光显示面板120至少有部分接触,当光学指纹传感器130和自发光显示面板120总体呈上下平坦的扁平结构时,两者可以恰好是如图1中所示层叠形态。The self-luminous display panel 120 and the optical fingerprint sensor 130 may be directly stacked. The “direct stacking” means that the optical fingerprint sensor 130 and the self-luminous display panel 120 are at least partially in contact, and the optical fingerprint sensor 130 and the self-luminous display panel 120 are generally flat on the upper and lower sides. In the flat structure, the two can be exactly the stacked form as shown in FIG.
自发光显示面板120与光学指纹传感器130之间也可以采用光学 胶进行粘贴。光学胶使所述自发光显示面板120与所述光学指纹传感器130之间尽量避免存在空气,进一步提高模组的光学性能。Optical can also be used between the self-luminous display panel 120 and the optical fingerprint sensor 130. Glue is applied. The optical glue prevents air from being present between the self-luminous display panel 120 and the optical fingerprint sensor 130, thereby further improving the optical performance of the module.
需要说明的是,其它实施例中,光学指纹传感器和自发光显示面板之间可以具有滤光层,所述滤光层能够至少部分透过点状背光源(例如LED灯)发出的光线,同时所述滤光层滤光层能够吸收或反射其他波长的光线,以便阻止其他光线(例如环境光或自发光显示面板的显示光线)对指纹识别产生不利影响。It should be noted that, in other embodiments, a filter layer may be disposed between the optical fingerprint sensor and the self-luminous display panel, and the filter layer can at least partially transmit light emitted by a point backlight (eg, an LED lamp) while The filter layer filter layer is capable of absorbing or reflecting light of other wavelengths to prevent other light, such as ambient light or display light from a self-luminous display panel, from adversely affecting fingerprint recognition.
保护层110可以是扁平基板,或者是具有扁平部分的其它形状。保护层110的材料可以为透明材料,具体材料可以为无机玻璃或者有机玻璃,也可以是有机玻璃以外的其它塑料制品。The protective layer 110 may be a flat substrate or other shape having a flat portion. The material of the protective layer 110 may be a transparent material, and the specific material may be inorganic glass or organic glass, or may be other plastic products other than organic glass.
如图1所示,点状背光源140与凹槽111的表面之间具有间隔(未标注),利用此间隔的大小可以调整点状背光源140光线到保护层110的入射角度。所述间隔的存在,说明点状背光源140和凹槽111的表面之间通常没有直接接触。As shown in FIG. 1, the dot backlight 140 has a space (not labeled) between the surface of the groove 111, and the interval between the light of the point backlight 140 and the protective layer 110 can be adjusted by the size of the interval. The presence of the spacing indicates that there is typically no direct contact between the point backlight 140 and the surface of the recess 111.
但在其它实施例中,也可以设置点状背光源与凹槽的表面接触。However, in other embodiments, a point backlight may also be placed in contact with the surface of the recess.
本实施例中,点状背光源140发出的光线从凹槽111的相应表面进入保护层110,在到达保护层110上表面后,会在手指指纹与保护层110上表面所形成的界面处发生反射和折射等光学现象,产生相应的反射光线;反射光线斜向下返回保护层110,并穿过保护层110而到达自发光显示面板120,光线能够从上到下透过自发光显示面板120,因此,反射光线最终能够到达所述光学指纹传感器130,并被光学指纹传感器130中的感光像素单元(感光像素单元参考后续内容)接收,从而能够实现指纹图像采集,实现指纹识别功能。In this embodiment, the light emitted by the dot backlight 140 enters the protective layer 110 from the corresponding surface of the recess 111, and after reaching the upper surface of the protective layer 110, occurs at the interface formed by the finger fingerprint and the upper surface of the protective layer 110. The optical phenomenon such as reflection and refraction generates corresponding reflected light; the reflected light returns obliquely downward to the protective layer 110 and passes through the protective layer 110 to reach the self-luminous display panel 120, and the light can pass through the self-luminous display panel 120 from top to bottom. Therefore, the reflected light can finally reach the optical fingerprint sensor 130 and be received by the photosensitive pixel unit (the photosensitive pixel unit refers to the subsequent content) in the optical fingerprint sensor 130, thereby enabling fingerprint image acquisition and implementing the fingerprint recognition function.
本实施例控制点状背光源140发出的光线具有斜向上的传播角度(即点状背光源140发出的光线开始时向上或者斜向上传播,而不向下直接向自发光显示面板120传播),从而保证点状背光源140发出的光线一定是在经过了“在保护层200上表面与手指指纹的界面处 发生反射和折射等光学现象”后,再进入自发光显示面板120。也就是说,本实施例避免存在这样一种光线:这种光线由点状背光源140发出,并在点状背光源140发出后,未经过“在保护层200上表面与手指指纹的界面处发生反射和折射等光学现象”,就直接进入自发光显示面板120。这种光线未携带指纹图像信息。如果这种光线和其它光线一同穿过自发光显示面板120而到达光学指纹传感器130,则会会造成光学指纹传感器130获得的指纹图像变模糊。通过上述控制,避免这种光线,则可以提高最终获得的指纹图像质量。In this embodiment, the light emitted by the dot backlight 140 has an oblique upward propagation angle (that is, the light emitted by the dot backlight 140 starts to propagate upward or obliquely upward without directly traveling downward toward the self-luminous display panel 120). Therefore, it is ensured that the light emitted by the point backlight 140 must pass through the interface at the upper surface of the protective layer 200 and the fingerprint of the finger. After the optical phenomenon such as reflection and refraction occurs, the self-luminous display panel 120 is again entered. That is, the present embodiment avoids the presence of such a light that is emitted by the point backlight 140 and is in the dot backlight 140. After being emitted, the optical phenomenon such as reflection and refraction occurs at the interface between the upper surface of the protective layer 200 and the finger fingerprint, and directly enters the self-luminous display panel 120. This light does not carry fingerprint image information. When other light rays pass through the self-luminous display panel 120 and reach the optical fingerprint sensor 130, the fingerprint image obtained by the optical fingerprint sensor 130 is blurred. By the above control, the light quality can be improved, and the final obtained fingerprint image quality can be improved. .
本实施例所提供的显示模组中,光学指纹传感器130和自发光显示面板120均位于保护层110下方,保护层110具有向上凹入的凹槽111,点状背光源140设置在保护层110中的凹槽111内,从而使得整个显示模组的整体机构更加简单,厚度可以制作得更薄。In the display module provided in this embodiment, the optical fingerprint sensor 130 and the self-luminous display panel 120 are both located under the protective layer 110. The protective layer 110 has an upwardly concave groove 111. The dot-shaped backlight 140 is disposed on the protective layer 110. The recess 111 in the middle makes the overall mechanism of the entire display module simpler and the thickness can be made thinner.
点状背光源140发出的光线通过凹槽111的相应表面进入保护层110时,相应光线与保护层110上表面中用于接触指纹的区域所成的夹角为锐角。此时,点状背光源140发出的光线能够按相应的偏移量在保护层110上表面和手指指纹的界面发生反射和折射等现象,并使大部分有效反射光线照射到光学指纹传感器130的感光区域中,因此,整个显示模组不需要导光板等结构,就能够实现指纹图像的识别,形成清晰的指纹图像,并且简化了结构,降低了成本。When the light emitted by the dot backlight 140 enters the protective layer 110 through the corresponding surface of the recess 111, the angle between the corresponding light and the region for contacting the fingerprint in the upper surface of the protective layer 110 is an acute angle. At this time, the light emitted by the dot backlight 140 can be reflected and refracted at the interface between the upper surface of the protective layer 110 and the finger fingerprint at a corresponding offset, and most of the effective reflected light is irradiated to the optical fingerprint sensor 130. In the photosensitive area, therefore, the entire display module does not require a structure such as a light guide plate, and can realize fingerprint image recognition, form a clear fingerprint image, and simplify the structure and reduce the cost.
点状背光源140位于保护层110中的凹槽111内,因此,点状背光源140到保护层110上表面的距离更小,这也使得点状背光源140的光线到达保护层110上表面时,与垂直于保护层110上表面的法线之间的夹角增大;另一方面,在光线进入第一表面时会发生折射,从而可以再次增大上述夹角。所述夹角增大又带来以下两个优点:第一,反射进入光学指纹传感器的光线区域宽度增大,能够更好地利用光学指纹传感器的感光区域,形成面积更大的指纹图像;第二,照射到手指指纹谷部与保护层110上表面接触的界面的部分光线,能够在保护层110上表面和空气的界面中会发生全反射,而照射到手指指纹脊部 与保护层110上表面接触的界面的光线,则正常地进行反射和折射等光学现象,此时,手指指纹图像的不同位置(即谷位置和脊位置)对比度会明显改善,指纹图像质量提高。The dot backlight 140 is located in the recess 111 in the protective layer 110. Therefore, the distance between the dot backlight 140 and the upper surface of the protective layer 110 is smaller, which also causes the light of the dot backlight 140 to reach the upper surface of the protective layer 110. At the same time, the angle between the normal line and the normal line perpendicular to the upper surface of the protective layer 110 is increased; on the other hand, refraction occurs when light enters the first surface, so that the above angle can be increased again. The increase of the angle brings two advantages: firstly, the width of the light region reflected into the optical fingerprint sensor is increased, and the photosensitive region of the optical fingerprint sensor can be better utilized to form a fingerprint image with a larger area; Second, a part of the light that is irradiated to the interface between the finger fingerprint valley and the upper surface of the protective layer 110 can cause total reflection in the interface between the upper surface of the protective layer 110 and the air, and illuminate the ridge of the finger fingerprint. The light rays at the interface in contact with the upper surface of the protective layer 110 are normally subjected to optical phenomena such as reflection and refraction. At this time, the contrast of different positions (i.e., valley position and ridge position) of the finger fingerprint image is remarkably improved, and the quality of the fingerprint image is improved.
本实施例将点状背光源140设置在保护层110下方,并且是设置在自发光显示面板120斜上方的凹槽111中,而光学指纹传感器130设置在自发光显示面板120下方,因此,点状背光源140也是位于光学指纹传感器130外侧(斜上方)的。在点状背光源140同时位于自发光显示面板120和光学指纹传感器130侧边的前提下,又设置点状背光源140发出的光线从凹槽111的表面进入保护层110,此时,点状背光源140发出的光线不必经过自发光显示面板120和光学指纹传感器130就进入了保护层110,从而用于手指指纹图像的采集,即实现对手指指纹图像的采集,相应光线的利用率提高,提高了最终光学指纹传感器130能够接收到的信号量,采集到的指纹图像清晰,因此,显示模组集成有良好的指纹识别功能。In this embodiment, the dot backlight 140 is disposed under the protective layer 110, and is disposed in the groove 111 obliquely above the self-luminous display panel 120, and the optical fingerprint sensor 130 is disposed under the self-luminous display panel 120. The backlight 140 is also located outside (optically above) the optical fingerprint sensor 130. Under the premise that the point backlight 140 is located on the side of the self-luminous display panel 120 and the optical fingerprint sensor 130, the light emitted by the point backlight 140 is further introduced into the protective layer 110 from the surface of the groove 111. The light emitted by the backlight 140 does not have to pass through the self-luminous display panel 120 and the optical fingerprint sensor 130 to enter the protective layer 110, thereby being used for the collection of the finger fingerprint image, that is, the collection of the finger fingerprint image, and the utilization of the corresponding light is improved. The amount of signals that the final optical fingerprint sensor 130 can receive is improved, and the collected fingerprint images are clear. Therefore, the display module integrates a good fingerprint recognition function.
本发明实施例所提供的显示模组中,可以通过相应的使用方法,实现在显示模组的显示区域内采集指纹图像,从而能够减小应用这种显示面板的电子产品外观尺寸,提高电子产品的屏占比,提高电子产品的外观美观度(例如可以提高手机产品的屏占比,提高手机产品的外观美观度)。例如,将所述自发光显示面板中与所述光学指纹传感器相对的显示区域定义为第一显示区域,其它部分的显示区域定义为第二显示区域;当所述光学指纹传感器进行指纹图像采集工作时,控制所述第一显示区域停止显示工作或显示特定画面。当所述光学指纹传感器进行指纹图像采集工作时,控制所述第二显示区域显示与指纹图像采集工作相关联的信息。这种使用方法能够使得显示功能和指纹识别功能相互配合起来,实现更好的用户使用体验。In the display module provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the fingerprint image can be collected in the display area of the display module by using the corresponding use method, thereby reducing the appearance size of the electronic product to which the display panel is applied, and improving the electronic product. The proportion of screens increases the aesthetic appearance of electronic products (for example, it can increase the screen ratio of mobile phone products and improve the appearance of mobile phone products). For example, a display area of the self-luminous display panel opposite to the optical fingerprint sensor is defined as a first display area, and a display area of other parts is defined as a second display area; when the optical fingerprint sensor performs fingerprint image collection work The first display area is controlled to stop displaying work or displaying a specific picture. When the optical fingerprint sensor performs a fingerprint image collection operation, the second display area is controlled to display information associated with the fingerprint image collection work. This method of use enables the display function and the fingerprint recognition function to work together to achieve a better user experience.
所述使用方法还可以进一步开拓指纹识别功能的应用场景,例如,在光学指纹传感器未进行工作之前,令所述第一显示区域显示相应的显示图标,指示用户将手指放入图标内。当用户将手指放入显示 图标的区域后,可利用现有的显示面板自身或外带的触控功能,感知用户已经将手指放入了第一显示区域,从而可以控制光学指纹传感器进入工作状态,此时,按压指纹的指纹图像会被第一显示区域下方的光学指纹传感器采集,完成指纹图像采集功能,并且,可以进一步运用于与内部储存的已有指纹图像进行识别,进一步运用进行加密/解锁等功能。The usage method may further develop an application scenario of the fingerprint recognition function. For example, before the optical fingerprint sensor is not working, the first display area is displayed with a corresponding display icon, and the user is instructed to put a finger into the icon. When the user puts a finger into the display After the area of the icon, the existing display panel itself or the external touch function can be used to sense that the user has placed the finger in the first display area, thereby controlling the optical fingerprint sensor to enter the working state. At this time, pressing the fingerprint The fingerprint image is collected by the optical fingerprint sensor below the first display area to complete the fingerprint image collection function, and can be further used for identifying the existing fingerprint image stored internally, and further utilizing functions such as encryption/unlocking.

当对图7所示的仰视结构进行剖切,并且按图1至图5那样摆放时,则同样可以看到本实施例所提供的显示模组中:自发光显示面板720位于保护层710下方;光学指纹传感器730位于自发光显示面板 720下方;保护层710下表面具有向上凹入的凹槽711,凹槽711位于自发光显示面板720的斜上方;所述点状背光源位于凹槽711内,所述点状背光源发出的光线从凹槽711的其中一个表面进入保护层710。可结合参考图1至图5相应内容。When the bottom view structure shown in FIG. 7 is cut and placed as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, the display module provided in the embodiment can also be seen: the self-luminous display panel 720 is located on the protective layer 710.

自发光显示面板720包括第一透光基板(未示出)、第二透光基板(未示出)以及第一透光基板和第二透光基板之间的自发光电路层(未示出);自发光显示面板720中的自发光电路层包括多个显示像素单元(未示出);每个显示像素单元包括至少一个非透光区和至少一个透光区。可结合参考图1至图5相应内容。The self-luminous display panel 720 includes a first light transmissive substrate (not shown), a second light transmissive substrate (not shown), and a self-illuminating circuit layer between the first light transmissive substrate and the second light transmissive substrate (not shown) The self-luminous circuit layer in the self-luminous display panel 720 includes a plurality of display pixel units (not shown); each display pixel unit includes at least one non-transmissive region and at least one light transmissive region. The corresponding contents of FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 can be combined.
如图7所示,所述点状背光源为六个LED灯,分别为LED灯a、LED灯b、LED灯c、LED灯d、LED灯e和LED灯f,六个LED灯均匀分布在光学指纹传感器730的同一侧边,并且均位于凹槽711内。As shown in FIG. 7, the dot backlight is six LED lights, which are LED light a, LED light b, LED light c, LED light d, LED light e and LED light f, and the six LED lights are evenly distributed. On the same side of the optical fingerprint sensor 730, and both are located within the recess 711.
而光学指纹传感器730对应包括十四个局部光学感应区域,分别为局部光学感应区域1-14。在图7所示平面中,采用十三条虚线将光学指纹传感器730分为十四个局部光学感应区域。一个LED灯对应四个局部光学感应区域。The optical fingerprint sensor 730 correspondingly includes fourteen local optical sensing regions, which are local optical sensing regions 1-14, respectively. In the plane shown in Fig. 7, the optical fingerprint sensor 730 is divided into fourteen partial optical sensing regions by thirteen dashed lines. One LED light corresponds to four local optical sensing areas.
具体的,本实施例中,LED灯a对应局部光学感应区域1-4,LED灯b对应局部光学感应区域3-6,LED灯c对应局部光学感应区域5-8,LED灯d对应局部光学感应区域7-10,LED灯e对应局部光学感应区域9-7,LED灯f对应局部光学感应区域11-14。LED灯a至LED灯f对应区域的宽度如图7中Ra至Rf所示,这些宽度可以证明上述LED灯与局部光学感应区域的对应关系,即一个LED灯对应连续的四个局部光学感应区域。此时,以相邻的LED灯a和LED灯b为例,它们对应的所述局部光学感应区域部分相同,即它们都对应局部光学感应区域3-4。同时,“部分相同”说明它们各自还对应不同的局部光学感应区域,例如LED灯a对应局部光学感应区域1-2,LED灯b对应局部光学感应区域5-6。 Specifically, in this embodiment, the LED lamp a corresponds to the local optical sensing area 1-4, the LED lamp b corresponds to the local optical sensing area 3-6, the LED lamp c corresponds to the local optical sensing area 5-8, and the LED lamp d corresponds to the local optical In the sensing area 7-10, the LED lamp e corresponds to the local optical sensing area 9-7, and the LED lamp f corresponds to the local optical sensing area 11-14. The width of the corresponding area of the LED lamp a to the LED lamp f is as shown by Ra to Rf in FIG. 7, and these widths can prove the corresponding relationship between the LED lamp and the local optical sensing area, that is, one LED lamp corresponds to four consecutive local optical sensing regions. . At this time, taking the adjacent LED lamp a and the LED lamp b as an example, the corresponding partial optical sensing regions are identical, that is, they all correspond to the local optical sensing regions 3-4. At the same time, "partially identical" indicates that they each correspond to different local optical sensing regions, for example, LED lamp a corresponds to local optical sensing region 1-2, and LED lamp b corresponds to local optical sensing region 5-6.
同时,图7中虽未显示,但是,显示模组还包括触控结构,所述触控结构包括十四个的局部触控区域,一个局部光学感应区域对应一个局部触控区域,即局部光学感应区域和局部触控区域一一对应。在图7所示的仰视平面内,如果局部触控区域进行显示,则相应的局部触控区域和局部光学感应区域完全重合。利用局部触控区域可以控制对应局部光学感应区域的工作状态(例如工作与非工作的两种状态的切换),可参考前述实施例相应内容。通过上述结构,本实施例所提供的显示模组中,LED灯数目少于所述局部光学感应区域的数目,多个局部光学感应区域对应一个LED灯,每一个所述LED灯对应多个相邻的局部光学感应区域,且相邻的两个所述LED灯对应的所述局部光学感应区域部分相同。Meanwhile, although not shown in FIG. 7, the display module further includes a touch structure, the touch structure includes fourteen partial touch regions, and a local optical sensing region corresponds to a partial touch region, that is, local optics. The sensing area and the local touch area are in one-to-one correspondence. In the bottom view plane shown in FIG. 7, if the partial touch area is displayed, the corresponding partial touch area and the local optical sensing area completely coincide. The working state of the corresponding local optical sensing area (for example, switching between two states of working and non-working) can be controlled by using the local touch area, and the corresponding content of the foregoing embodiment can be referred to. With the above structure, in the display module provided in this embodiment, the number of LED lamps is less than the number of the local optical sensing regions, and the plurality of partial optical sensing regions correspond to one LED lamp, and each of the LED lamps corresponds to multiple phases. Adjacent partial optical sensing regions, and the partial optical sensing regions corresponding to the two adjacent LED lamps are identical.
本实施例之所以进而上述结构和区域的对应设置,是因为由本发明的成像原理可知:显示模组在指纹成像时,每次只能使用一个LED灯发光(如果同时使用两个LED灯则会有干扰,使图像变模糊);而如果相邻两个LED灯对应的所述局部光学感应区域不存在部分相同时,当手指按压在两个局部光学感应区域的分界处时,则通常需要进行两次成像,获得不同的局部指纹图像,再将它们合成在一起。但是,本实施例通过设置较多个LED灯,从而减小LED灯间的距离。同时,通过进一步细分局部光学感应区域,增加局部光学感应区域的数目,从而达到:多个相邻的局部光学感应区域对应一个LED灯,且相邻的两个所述LED灯对应的所述局部光学感应区域部分相同。此时,根据手指按压位置,每次只需要打开与手指按压位置最接近的LED灯进行指纹图像采集,并且总能利用最合适的某一个LED灯进而指纹图像采集,因此,能够实现一次成像就能采集到相应的指纹图像。因此,进一步提高了采集效率和采集效果。The corresponding arrangement of the above structure and the area is also because the imaging principle of the present invention shows that the display module can only use one LED light at a time when fingerprinting (if two LED lights are used at the same time) There is interference to make the image blurred; and if the partial optical sensing areas corresponding to the two adjacent LED lights do not have the same part, when the finger is pressed at the boundary of the two local optical sensing areas, it usually needs to be performed. Two images were taken to obtain different partial fingerprint images and then combined together. However, this embodiment reduces the distance between the LED lamps by providing more than one LED lamp. At the same time, by further subdividing the local optical sensing regions, the number of local optical sensing regions is increased, thereby achieving that: a plurality of adjacent partial optical sensing regions correspond to one LED lamp, and the adjacent two of the LED lamps correspond to the The local optical sensing regions are partially identical. At this time, according to the finger pressing position, only the LED lamp closest to the finger pressing position needs to be opened for fingerprint image acquisition at a time, and the most suitable one of the LED lights can be used to collect the fingerprint image, so that one imaging can be realized. Can collect the corresponding fingerprint image. Therefore, the collection efficiency and the collection effect are further improved.
为了更好地实现上述目的,还可以使LED灯之间的间距远小于手指的按压覆盖宽度(例如可以使LED灯的间距小于5mm)。In order to better achieve the above object, it is also possible to make the spacing between the LED lamps much smaller than the pressing coverage width of the fingers (for example, the spacing of the LED lamps can be less than 5 mm).
