具体实施方式
随着智能终端步入全面屏时代,电子设备正面指纹采集区域受到全面屏的挤压,因此屏下(Under-display或者Under-screen)指纹识别技术越来越受到关注。屏下指纹识别技术是指将指纹识别装置(比如指纹识别模组)安装在显示屏下方,从而实现在显示屏的显示区域内部进行指纹识别操作,不需要在电子设备正面除显示区域外的区域设置指纹采集区域。
屏下指纹识别技术可以包括屏下光学指纹识别技术、屏下超声波指纹识别技术或者其他类型的屏下指纹识别技术。
以屏下光学指纹识别技术为例,屏下光学指纹识别技术使用从设备显示组件的顶面返回的光来进行指纹感应和其他感应操作。该返回的光携带与顶面接触的物体(例如手指)的信息,通过捕获和检测该返回的光实现位于显示屏幕下方的特定光学传感器模块进行屏下光学指纹识别。该特定光学传感器模块的设计可以为通过恰当地配置用于捕获和检测返回的光的光学元件来实现期望的光学成像。
应理解,本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种电子设备,更具体地,可以应用于具有显示屏的电子设备。例如智能手机、笔记本电脑、平板电脑、游戏设备等便携式或移动计算设备,以及电子数据库、汽车、银行自动柜员机(Automated Teller Machine,ATM)等其他电子设备,但本申请实施例对此并不限定。

下面将结合附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。
需要说明的是,为便于说明,在本申请的实施例中,相同的附图标记表示相同的部件,并且为了简洁,在不同实施例中,省略对相同部件的详细说明。

作为一种可选的实现方式,如图1所示,指纹识别装置20包括光学组件300和光检测阵列400,该光检测阵列400以及与该光检测阵列电性连接的读取电路及其他辅助电路,其可以在通过半导体工艺制作在一个芯片(De)比如光学成像芯片或者光学指纹传感器,该光检测阵列具体可以为光学指纹传感器上的光探测器(Photo detector)阵列,其包括多个呈阵列式分布的光探测器,该光探测器可以称为像素单元或者像素;该光学组件300可以设置在光检测阵列400的上方,可以具体包括导光层或光路引导结构以及其他光学元件,该导光层或光路引导结构主要用于从手指表面反射回来的反射光导引至感应阵列进行光学检测。光检测阵列400所在区域或者其感应区域为指纹识别装置20的指纹检测区域103。如图1所示,指纹检测区域103位于显示屏10的显示区域之中。
在一种替代实施例中,指纹识别装置20还可以设置在其他位置,比如显示屏10的侧面或者电子设备1的边缘非透光区域,并通过光路设计来将显示屏10的至少部分显示区域的光信号导引到指纹识别装置20,从而使得指纹检测区域103实际上位于显示屏10的显示区域。
应当理解,指纹检测区域103的面积可以与指纹识别装置20的光检测阵列400的面积不同,例如通过例如透镜成像的光路设计、反射式折叠光路设计或者其他光线汇聚或者反射等光路设计,可以使得指纹识别装置20的指纹检测区域103的面积大于光检测阵列400的面积。在其他替代实现方式中,如果采用例如光线准直方式进行光路引导,指纹识别装置20的指纹检测区域103也可以设计成与指纹识别装置20的感应阵列的面积基本一致。
因此,使用者在需要对电子设备进行解锁或者其他指纹验证的时候,只需要将手指按压在位于显示屏10的指纹检测区域103,便可以实现指纹输入。由于指纹检测可以在屏下实现,因此采用上述结构的电子设备1无需其正面专门预留空间来设置指纹按键(比如Home键),从而可以采用全面屏方案,即显示屏10的显示区域可以基本扩展到整个电子设备1的正面。
在具体实现上,光学组件300可以与光检测阵列400封装在同一个光学指纹部件。比如,光学组件300可以与光检测阵列400封装在同一个光学指纹芯片,也可以将光学组件300设置在光检测阵列400所在的芯片外部,比如将光学组件300贴合在芯片上方,或者将光学组件300的部分元件集成在上述芯片之中。
其中,光学组件300的导光层或者光路引导结构有多种实现方案,比如,该导光层可以具体为在半导体硅片制作而成的准直器(Collimator)层,其具有多个准直单元或者微孔阵列,该准直单元可以具体为小孔,从手指反射回来的反射光中,垂直入射到该准直单元的光线可以穿过并被其下方的光学感应单元接收,而入射角度过大的光线在该准直单元内部经过多次反射被衰减掉,因此每一个光学感应单元基本只能接收到其正上方的指纹纹路反射回来的反射光,从而感应阵列便可以检测出手指的指纹图像。
在另一种实施例中,导光层或者光路引导结构也可以为光学透镜(Lens)层,其具有一个或多个透镜单元,比如一个或多个非球面透镜组成的透镜组,其用于将从手指反射回来的反射光汇聚到其下方的光检测部分134的感应阵列,以使得该感应阵列可以基于该反射光进行成像,从而得到该手指的指纹图像。可选地,该光学透镜层在该透镜单元的光路中还可以形成有针孔,该针孔可以配合该光学透镜层扩大光学指纹装置的视场,以提高指纹识别装置20的指纹成像效果。
在其他实施例中,导光层或者光路引导结构也可以具体采用微透镜(Micro-Lens)层,该微透镜层具有由多个微透镜形成的微透镜阵列,其可以通过半导体生长工艺或者其他工艺形成在光检测部分134的感应阵列上方,并且每一个微透镜可以分别对应于感应阵列的其中一个感应单元。并且,微透镜层和感应单元之间还可以形成其他光学膜层,比如介质层或者钝化层,更具体地,微透镜层和感应单元之间还可以包括具有微孔的挡光层,其中该微孔形成在其对应的微透镜和感应单元之间,挡光层可以阻挡相邻微透镜和 感应单元之间的光学干扰,并使得感应单元所对应的光线通过微透镜汇聚到微孔内部并经由该微孔传输到该感应单元以进行光学指纹成像。应当理解,上述光路引导结构的几种实现方案可以单独使用也可以结合使用,比如,可以在准直器层或者光学透镜层下方进一步设置微透镜层。当然,在准直器层或者光学透镜层与微透镜层结合使用时,其具体叠层结构或者光路可能需要按照实际需要进行调整。
应理解,在具体实现上,电子设备1还包括透明保护盖板130,该盖板可以为玻璃盖板或者蓝宝石盖板,其位于显示屏10的上方并覆盖电子设备1的正面。因为,本申请实施例中,所谓的手指按压在显示屏10实际上是指按压在显示屏10上方的盖板或者覆盖盖板的保护层表面。
还应理解,指纹识别装置20的下方还可以设置有电路板150。指纹识别装置20可以通过背胶粘接在该电路板150上,并通过焊盘及金属线焊接与该电路板150实现电性连接。指纹识别装置20可以通过电路板150实现与其他外围电路或者电子设备1的其他元件的电性互连和信号传输。比如,指纹识别装置20可以通过电路板150接收电子设备1的处理单元的控制信号,并且还可以通过电路板150将来自指纹识别装置20的指纹图像信号输出给电子设备1的处理单元或者控制单元等。
另一方面,在某些实施例中,指纹识别装置20可以仅包括一个光学指纹传感器,此时指纹识别装置20的指纹检测区域103的面积较小且位置固定,因此用户在进行指纹输入时需要将手指按压到指纹检测区域103的特定位置,否则指纹识别装置20可能无法采集到指纹图像而造成用户体验不佳。在其他替代实施例中,指纹识别装置20可以具体包括多个光学指纹传感器;该多个光学指纹传感器可以通过拼接方式并排设置在显示屏120的下方,且该多个光学指纹传感器的感应区域共同构成指纹识别装置20的指纹检测区域103。也即是说,指纹识别装置20的指纹检测区域103可以包括多个子区域,每个子区域分别对应于其中一个光学指纹传感器的感应区域,从而将指纹识别装置20的指纹采集区域103可以扩展到显示屏的下半部分的主要区域,即扩展到手指惯常按压区域,从而实现盲按式指纹输入操作。可替代地,当光学指纹传感器数量足够时,指纹检测区域103还可以扩展到半个显示区域甚至整个显示区域,从而实现半屏或者全屏指纹检测。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的光学指纹装置也可以称为光学指纹识 别模组、指纹识别装置、指纹识别模组、指纹模组、指纹采集装置等,上述术语可相互替换。
需要注意的是,显示屏10为具有自发光显示单元的显示屏时,比如有机发光二极管(Organic Light Emitting Diode,OLED)显示屏或者微型发光二极管(Micro-LED)显示屏。以采用OLED显示屏为例,指纹识别装置20可以利用OLED显示屏10位于指纹检测区域103的显示单元(即OLED光源)来作为光学指纹检测的激励光源。显示屏10向指纹检测区域103上方的目标手指140发出一束光,该光在手指140的表面发生反射形成反射光或者经过手指140内部散射而形成散射光,在相关专利申请中,为便于描述,上述反射光和散射光统称为反射光。由于指纹的脊(ridge)与谷(valley)对于光的反射能力不同,因此,来自指纹脊的反射光和来自指纹谷的反射光具有不同的光强,反射光经过光学组件300后,被指纹识别装置20中的光检测阵列400所接收并转换为相应的电信号,即指纹图像信号;基于指纹图像信号便可以获得指纹图像数据,并且可以进一步进行指纹匹配验证,从而在电子设备1实现光学指纹识别功能。
而当显示屏10为不具有自发光显示单元的显示屏时,比如液晶显示屏或者其他的被动发光显示屏,需要采用背光模组作为显示屏10的光源。以应用在具有背光模组和液晶面板的液晶显示屏为例,为支持液晶显示屏的屏下指纹识别,如图1所示,显示屏10包括液晶面板110和背光模组120,该背光模组120用于向液晶面板110发出光信号,该液晶面板110包括液晶层以及控制电路,用于控制液晶的偏转以透过光信号。
可选地,本申请实施例中,该电子设备1还可以包括用于光学指纹检测的激励光源160,指纹识别装置20设置在背光模组120下方,当手指140按压在指纹检测区域103时,激励光源160向指纹检测区域103上方的目标手指140发出激励光111,该激励光111在手指140的表面发生反射形成指纹脊的第一反射光151和指纹谷的第二反射光152,第一反射光151和第二反射光152需经过液晶面板110和背光模组120后,再经过光学组件300后,被指纹识别装置20中的光检测阵列400所接收并转换为指纹图像信号。可选地,在一些实施方式中,该激励光源为红外光源,不会影响液晶显示屏的正常显示,并基于红外光信号进行指纹识别,去除环境光的干扰,提高指纹识别的效果。
但在此过程中,背光模组120中的膜层结构,尤其是棱镜膜,会对指纹识别装置20的成像造成较大干扰。
为了便于理解,首先结合图2对液晶显示屏中的背光模组120进行一个简单的说明。
如图2所示,背光模组120包括光源(Light Source)、导光板(Light Guide Plate)、扩散片(Diffuser)、棱镜膜(Brightness Enhancement Film,BEF)、反射板(Reflector)等,其中,光源的光信号从侧面进入导光板,经导光板的散射转化为均匀分布的面光源,然后经过下扩散片的均光作用入射至棱镜膜。由于棱镜膜的聚光作用,符合某种角度的光线被射出,不符合的光线再次被反射值导光板和扩散板中,经过导光板和扩散板的作用后,重新被棱镜膜接收,并以符合角度要求的光线射出。
一般而言,在背光模组中,通常设置有两个棱镜膜,即图2中所述的垂直方向的棱镜膜以及水平方向的棱镜膜,该两个棱镜膜的结构相同,但棱镜膜的棱脊的方向不同,两个棱镜膜的棱脊在同一平面上的投影的夹角呈90°,该平面为平行于显示屏中液晶面板的平面。该两个棱镜膜共同作用,保证水平面上360°范围内的光信号,均被有效会聚至液晶面板。
在一些实施方式中,经过棱镜膜后的光线被收拢至70°,即经过棱镜膜后的光信号,与垂直于显示屏的方向的夹角在0至70°之间,而其在显示屏上的投影可以为0至360°中任意的角度。因此,通过在背光模组中设置棱镜膜,有效的增加了正视的亮度,较于不设置棱镜膜的情况,液晶显示屏的亮度增加了70%。在本申请的一些实施例中,背光模组中的两个棱镜膜也可以称为增亮棱镜膜。
图3中的(a)和图3中的(b)示出了本申请实施例中背光模组120中一个棱镜膜1200的立体结构图以及截面图,其中,图3中的(b)为图3中的(a)在XZ平面上的截面示意图。该棱镜膜1200可以为图2中两个棱镜膜中的任意一个。
具体地,该棱镜膜1200为多个相同的三棱镜1210在基底1220上规律地排成一排,其中,每一个三棱镜1210是从基底1220向上凸出而形成的,且每一个三棱镜1210为具有两个倾斜侧面的结构,两个倾斜侧面之间具有夹角,为三棱镜1210的顶角(Apex Angle),由于棱镜膜中所有的三棱镜结构相同,因此,为了方便描述,在本申请中,下文也将棱镜膜中任意一个三 棱镜的顶角称之为棱镜膜的顶角。
此外,一个三棱镜1210的两个倾斜侧面与水平面的夹角分别为该三棱镜的两个底角。例如,图3中的(b)所示,三棱镜1210中两个倾斜侧面分别为第一侧面1211和第二侧面1212,该第一侧面1211与水平方向的夹角为三棱镜1210的第一底角α,该第二侧面1212与水平方向的夹角为三棱镜1210的第二底角β。同样为了方便描述,在本申请中,下文也将棱镜膜中任意一个三棱镜的两个底角称之为棱镜膜的两个底角,棱镜膜中每个三棱镜的第一侧面称之为第一棱镜膜侧面,棱镜膜中每个三棱镜的第二侧面称之为第二棱镜膜侧面。
为了提高棱镜膜的聚光作用,经过试验数据统计,目前现有技术中棱镜膜的顶角一般为90°,该角度下,棱镜膜的聚光效果最优。若顶角不为90°,则可能会损失部分光信号,影响液晶显示屏的显示亮度。
此外,也为了保证棱镜膜聚光的均匀性,即各个角度的光信号均能够有良好的聚光效果,一般而言,棱镜膜中两个底角一般相等,即棱镜膜中多个三棱镜的两个侧面的面积相同,若棱镜膜的顶角为90°,则棱镜膜由多个等腰直角三棱镜在基底上排列组成。
由于液晶显示屏中设置棱镜膜提高液晶显示屏的亮度,但手指按压在液晶显示屏的表面,指纹识别装置设置在手指下方进行指纹识别时,从手指反射或散射返回后的光信号,经过棱镜膜会被折射为不同方向的两个光信号,从而影响液晶显示屏下的指纹识别功能。
图4示出了一种液晶显示屏下指纹识别装置进行指纹识别时的光路示意图,其中,液晶显示屏10包括液晶面板110以及背光模组120,该背光模组120中包括棱镜膜1200以及其他膜层124,该其他膜层124包括但不限于是以上图2中的导光板、反射膜以及扩散膜等膜层结构。
如图4所示,第三反射光153为经过手指中心区域反射或透射的指纹检测光信号,手指中心区域对应指纹检测区域103的中心区域,指纹识别装置20设置于指纹检测区域103的中心区域下方,第三反射光153被棱镜膜1200中两个方向的棱镜膜侧面折射为方向不同的第一折射光161和第二折射光162,该第一折射光线161和第二折射光162无法进入指纹识别装置20中的光学组件300进行成像。因此,手指中心的光信号无法被指纹识别装置20接收,光检测阵列400检测得到的指纹图像中会形成一个如图5所示的暗区, 指纹识别装置20的视场被一分为二,形成均等的两部分视场,导致严重的视场损失和图像畸变。
另外,第四光信号154为指纹检测区域103外的其它区域的环境光信号或者杂散光信号,该第四光信号154经过棱镜膜折射后形成大角度的折射光信号进入光学组件300并被光学组件300传输至光检测阵列400,在光检测阵列400中成像,影响指纹图像的质量。
应理解,图4中以一个棱镜膜作为举例说明了该棱镜膜对于指纹光信号的影响,若液晶显示屏中包括如图2中所示的两个棱镜膜,则另一个棱镜膜对于指纹光信号的干扰情况也可以参见以上描述。若两个棱镜膜均由等腰直角三棱镜构成,光检测阵列400检测得到的指纹图像中心会形成如图6所示的暗区,指纹识别装置20的视场被一分为四,形成均等的四部分视场,造成更为严重的视场的损失。
综上,由于液晶显示屏中的棱镜膜对于指纹检测光信号的影响,造成指纹识别装置的视场损失和指纹图像的图像畸变,因而无法实现屏下指纹识别。
本申请提出一种适用于液晶显示屏的指纹识别装置,将该指纹装置设置于指纹检测区域的斜下方,使得指纹识别装置接收被棱镜膜中的一个侧面折射后的折射光,并改进液晶显示屏的背光模组中的棱镜膜结构,增大指纹识别装置接收指纹光信号的有效视场,从而形成较大面积的连续的指纹图像,实现液晶显示屏下指纹识别。
以下,结合图7至图21,详细介绍本申请实施例的指纹识别装置。
图7是本申请实施例提供的一种指纹识别装置200的示意性结构图,适用于具有液晶显示屏的电子设备,并用于设置在液晶显示屏的背光模组下方以进行屏下指纹识别,其中,该背光模组包括第一棱镜膜。
如图7所示,该指纹识别装置200包括:
指纹识别模组201,位于在液晶显示屏10中指纹检测区域103的斜下方,用于接收第一指纹光信号102,该第一指纹光信号101用于进行指纹识别,其中,该第一指纹光信号102为指纹光信号101经过第一棱镜膜121中第一棱镜膜侧面折射的光信号,该指纹光信号101为经指纹检测区域103上方的手指反射或散射而返回的光信号;
第一棱镜膜121中的第一底角与第二底角不相等,该第一底角为第一棱 镜膜121中第一棱镜膜侧面与液晶显示屏所在的平面的夹角,第二底角为第一棱镜膜121中第二棱镜膜侧面与所述液晶显示屏所在的平面的夹角。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,指纹识别模组201可以为图1中指纹识别装置20,其可以包括光学组件300和光检测阵列400。
其中,光学组件300用于接收第一指纹光信号101,并将该第一指纹光信号至传输至光检测阵列400,该光检测阵列400用于将该第一指纹光信号101并转换为指纹图像信号,以进行指纹识别。
具体地,在本申请实施例中,光学组件300可以为光学透镜(Lens)层,其具有一个或多个透镜单元,比如一个或多个光学透镜组成的透镜组。可选地,该光学透镜层中的光学透镜的表面可以为球面或者非球面,光学透镜的材料可以为玻璃,树脂等透明材料。
具体地,在本申请实施例中,光检测阵列400包括多个感应单元。其中,该感应单元可以采用光电二极管(Photo Diode)、金属氧化物半导体场效应管(Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor,MOSFET)等器件进行光信号的检测以及指纹图像信号的输出。可选地,该感应单元对于特定波长光具有较高的光灵敏度和较高的量子效率,以便于检测相应波长的光信号。
在本申请实施例中,指纹检测区域103为光检测阵列400在液晶显示屏10中的感应区域,即用户手指按压在指纹检测区域103上方时,光信号经过指纹检测区域103上方的手指反射或散射而返回指纹光信号,该指纹检测信号用来检测所述手指的指纹信息,该光检测阵列400对该指纹检测区域103上方的手指进行指纹成像。
可选地,指纹识别模组201可以仅包括一个光学指纹传感器,此时指纹识别模组201的指纹检测区域103的面积较小且位置固定。在其他替代实施例中,指纹识别模组201可以具体包括多个光学指纹传感器;该多个光学指纹传感器可以通过拼接方式并排设置在液晶显示屏的下方,且该多个光学指纹传感器的感应区域共同构成指纹识别模组201的指纹检测区域103。
在一种可能的实施方式中,该指纹识别装置200可以适用于上述电子设备1中,其具体可以设置在上述液晶显示屏10的背光模组120的下方。在本申请实施例中,液晶显示屏10和背光模组120的相关特征可以参考上文中液晶显示屏10和背光模组120的相关描述。
具体地,本申请实施例的第一棱镜膜121也为棱镜膜结构,其同样由多个三棱镜在基底上排列形成,该第一棱镜膜121可以理解为在上述棱镜膜1200上进行改进形成的改进后的棱镜膜结构。
为了更清楚的说明该改进后的第一棱镜膜121的结构,图8示出了一种放大后的第一棱镜膜121的截面示意图。
如图8所示,该第一棱镜膜121的基底在下方,其第一棱镜膜侧面1211以及第二棱镜膜侧面1212均朝基底的上方凸出,该第一棱镜膜侧面1211和第二棱镜膜侧面1212均朝向液晶显示屏的液晶面板110,该第一棱镜膜121的基底平行于液晶面板110所在的平面。在本申请实施例中,第一棱镜膜121中多个三棱镜的第一侧面均称之为第一棱镜膜侧面1211,多个三棱镜的第二侧面均称之为第二棱镜膜侧面1212。
为了方便描述,在本申请中,将液晶显示屏中液晶面板所在平面也称为第一平面,将垂直于该第一平面的方向称为垂直方向。一般情况下,若液晶显示屏水平放置,则该第一平面也为水平面,垂直方向为竖直方向。
如图8所示,第一棱镜膜侧面1211与其基底的夹角,也即第一棱镜膜侧面1211与第一平面的夹角为第一底角α 1,第二棱镜膜侧面1212与其基底的夹角,也即第二棱镜膜侧面1212与第一平面的夹角为第二底角α 2,α 1≠α 2,第一棱镜膜侧面1211的面积与第二棱镜膜侧面1212的面积不相等。
换言之,该第一棱镜膜121与上述棱镜膜1200的区别在于,上述棱镜膜1200的两个棱镜膜侧面的面积相等,两个底角相等,而本申请实施例中,第一棱镜膜121的两个棱镜膜侧面的面积不等,两个底角也不相等。
可选地,α 1<α 2,对应的,第一棱镜膜121中第一棱镜膜侧面1211的面积大于第二棱镜膜侧面1212的面积。
如图8所示,第一棱镜膜侧面1211接收光信号a,第二棱镜膜侧面1212接收光信号b,该光信号a和光信号b为平行光信号,特别地,该光信号a和光信号b均为垂直于第一平面的光信号。在指纹识别的过程中,该光信号a和光信号b均为经过指纹检测区域上方手指反射或者散射而返回的光信号,携带有指纹信息。且可以理解的是,垂直于手指的方向上光信号的光强较大,有利于提高指纹图像的质量以提高指纹识别的效果。
光信号a被第一棱镜膜侧面1211接收后,经过第一棱镜膜121的折射后,出射为光信号c。光信号b被第二棱镜膜侧面1212接收后,经过第一棱 镜膜121的折射后,出射为光信号d。由于α 1<α 2,则光信号a在第一棱镜膜侧面1211上的入射角小于光信号b在第二棱镜膜侧面上的入射角,由折射定律可知,光信号c与垂直方向的夹角小于光信号d与垂直方向的夹角,下文也将光信号c与垂直方向的夹角也称为光信号c的出射角度,光信号d与垂直方向的夹角也称为光信号d的出射角度。
可选地,在图8的实施例中,光信号a可以为图7中的指纹光信号101,光信号c可以为图7中的第一指纹光信号102。
应理解,上述图8仅以垂直方向的光信号a和光信号b进行举例进行了说明,本申请实施例中的指纹光信号101还可以为第一棱镜膜侧面接收的其它方向的光信号,本申请实施例对该第一棱镜膜侧面接收的指纹光信号的方向不做具体限定,其可以包括任意方向的指纹光信号。
通过上述说明可知,对于平行光信号而言,第一棱镜膜侧面接收的光信号经过第一棱镜膜折射后,出射的光信号角度较小,而第二棱镜膜侧面接收的光信号经过第一棱镜膜折射后,出射的光信号角度较大,因而,若指纹识别模组设置在指纹检测区域的正下方,如图9所示,指纹识别模组的指纹图像中同样出现暗区,将指纹图像一分为二,第一棱镜膜中第一棱镜膜侧面接收的光信号经过折射后,在指纹识别模组中的成像面积S 1较大,而第二棱镜膜侧面接收的光信号经过折射后,在指纹识别模组中的成像面积S 2较小。
此时,若将指纹识别模组201设置在指纹检测区域103的斜下方,该指纹检测区域103设置在指纹识别模组201的光学视场(Field of View,FOV)的一侧,使得指纹识别模组201仅接收第一棱镜膜侧面折射的光信号,既可以解决指纹图像中的暗区问题,实现液晶显示屏下的指纹识别功能,也可以使得指纹识别模组具有相对大的有效光学视场,对应较大面积的指纹检测区域。
在本申请实施例中,α 1越小,第一棱镜膜侧面1211的面积越大,可以使得指纹识别模组具有更大的有效光学视场,指纹识别的效果更佳。但α 1越小,对液晶显示屏的亮度影响越大,为了均衡液晶显示屏的亮度与指纹识别的效果,在一些实施方式中,上述第一底角α 1的取值范围在30°至45°之间,即30°≤α 1<45°。
如图8所示,上述第一棱镜膜侧面1211与第二棱镜膜侧面1212的夹角可以称为第一棱镜膜121的顶角,该第一棱镜膜121的顶角为γ 1,在一些实 施方式中,70°<γ 1<110°。
此外,在图8中,第一棱镜膜121中两个相邻的三棱镜的棱脊之间的间距(Pitch)为P 1,可选地,P 1的取值范围可以在15μm至40μm之间,一些实施方式中,P 1=24μm。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,指纹识别模组201的光学视场可以为指纹识别模组201中光学组件300的光学视场,可选地,该指纹识别模组201的视场区域为该指纹识别模组201在液晶显示屏中的视场区域,该视场区域可以大于上述指纹检测区域103。
此外,指纹识别模组201的视场区域中,除了部分区域为指纹检测区域外,其它区域无手指覆盖,为无效视场区域,因此,也将该指纹检测区域103与该指纹识别模组201的视场区域重合的区域称之为该指纹识别模组201的有效光学视场区域,该指纹检测区域103下方的空间区域与该指纹识别模组201的视场空间重合的区域称之为该指纹识别模组201的有效光学视场。
图10示出了一种指纹识别模组201的光学视场和指纹检测区域的相对位置关系的截面图。
如图10所示,指纹识别模组201设置在指纹检测区域103的左下方,指纹识别模组201上方的虚线表示其光学视场,该光学视场与指纹识别模组中的光学组件的结构和光学参数相关。该光学视场在液晶面板110上可以形成一个圆形的视场区域,其中,该指纹检测区域103位于该圆形视场区域的右侧,指纹检测区域103上方手指反射或散射后的指纹光信号,经过第一棱镜膜121中的第一棱镜膜侧面折射后被指纹识别模组201接收。而经过该指纹检测区域103上方手指反射或散射后的指纹光信号(例如,图10中的光信号103),经过第一棱镜膜121中的第二棱镜膜侧面折射后(例如,图10中的光信号104)无法被指纹识别模组201接收。
图11示出了另一种指纹识别模组的视场和指纹检测区域的相对位置关系的截面图。
图11所示,指纹识别模组201设置在指纹检测区域103的右下方,其中,指纹检测区域103位于指纹识别模组201的光学视场的左侧,指纹检测区域103上方手指反射或散射后的指纹光信号,经过第一棱镜膜121中的第二棱镜膜侧面折射后被指纹识别模组接收。而经过该指纹检测区域103上方手指反射或散射后的指纹光信号(例如,图11中的光信号101),经过第一 棱镜膜121中的第一棱镜膜侧面折射后(例如,图11中的光信号102)无法被指纹识别模组接收。
由于第一棱镜膜121中不同侧面对光信号的折射角度不同,图11中的指纹检测区域103与图10中的指纹检测区域103相比,面积较小,若指纹识别模组按照图11进行设置,则指纹识别模组仅接收第一棱镜膜中第二棱镜膜侧面折射的光信号,虽然也可以解决暗区问题,但此时指纹识别模组的有效光学视场相对较小,也只能对应较小面积的指纹检测区域,指纹识别效果不佳。
因此,在本申请实施例中,将指纹识别模组201设置在指纹检测区域103的斜下方,而不是正下方,旨在使得指纹识别模组201仅接收面积较大的第一棱镜膜侧面折射的光信号,而不接收面积较小的第二棱镜膜侧面折射的光信号,提高指纹识别模组的有效视场,对较大面积的指纹检测区域上方的手指进行指纹识别。
此外,又由于第一棱镜膜侧面的面积大于第二棱镜膜侧面的面积,第一棱镜膜侧面能够接收的光信号较多,光强较大,在提高指纹识别模组的有效视场外,也有利于提高指纹图像的质量。
以上结合图7至图11说明了背光模组中仅包括一个第一棱镜膜121时,第一棱镜膜121的结构以及指纹识别模组201的位置。
可选地,背光模组中还可以包括两个棱镜膜,即如图2所示的两个不同方向的棱镜膜。
可选地,该两个棱镜膜的棱脊在第一平面的投影的夹角为θ,70°≤θ≤90°,其中棱镜膜的棱脊可以为棱脊膜中任意一个三棱镜的棱脊。
可选地,该两个棱镜膜之间的距离可以小于1μm或者其它任意数值,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
此外,在本申请实施例中,该两个棱镜膜之间可以设置有背光模组中的其它光学膜层,该两个棱镜膜之间也可以不设置其它膜层,本申请实施例对此也不做具体限定。
在一种实施方式中,该两个棱镜膜中的其中一个棱镜膜可以与上述经过改进后的第一棱镜膜121的结构相同,而另一个棱镜膜可以为未经过改进的原始棱镜膜1200(第二棱镜膜的一例)的结构相同。
图12示出了该情况下,背光模组中两个棱镜膜的立体结构示意图。图 13示出了图12的立体图在XZ平面中的截面示意图。如图12和图13所示,其上方的棱镜膜为上述第一棱镜膜121,下方的棱镜膜为上述棱镜膜1200。当然,在本实施方式中,例如,如图14所示,棱镜膜1200也可以位于第一棱镜膜121的上方。
在图12和图13所示的棱镜膜结构下,若指纹识别模组设置在指纹检测区域的下方,经过第一棱镜膜121的指纹光信号被折射为两部分,其中,经过第一棱镜膜121中第一棱镜膜侧面折射后的第一指纹光信号形成的指纹图像面积大于经过第一棱镜膜121中第二棱镜膜侧面折射后的第二指纹光信号形成的指纹图像面积。经过第一棱镜膜121折射后,如图15所示,指纹图像在Y方向上一分为二,形成左右两部分,且两部分的面积不等。经过第一棱镜膜121折射后的光信号再次经过棱镜膜1200的两个棱镜膜侧面,被折射为两部分,指纹图像在X方向上再次被一分为二,形成四部分。
在图14所示的棱镜膜结构下,若指纹识别模组设置在指纹检测区域的下方,同上述情况类似,如图16所示,经过棱镜膜1200折射后,指纹图像在X方向上一分为二,且均等划分为左右两部分。经过棱镜膜1200折射后的光信号再次经过第一棱镜膜121的两个棱镜膜侧面,被折射为两部分,指纹图像在Y方向上再次被一分为二,且划分为面积不等的四部分。
因此,在上述两种情况下,指纹图像被划分为2个较大面积的区域以及2个较小面积的区域,其中,两个较大面积的区域对应于经过第一棱镜膜中第一棱镜膜侧面折射的光信号。
为了能够在去除图像暗区的同时,提高指纹识别模组的有效视场,需要移动指纹识别模组,且指纹识别模组能够接收经过第一棱镜膜中第一棱镜膜侧面以及棱镜膜中一个棱镜膜侧面折射后的光信号,此时,指纹检测区域位于指纹识别模组的视场的一角。
具体地,在上文中,背光模组仅有一个第一棱镜膜的情况下,将指纹识别模组从指纹检测区域的正下方,向一侧移动,其可以沿其所在平面的X方向进行平移。在本申请实施例中,除了将指纹识别模组从指纹检测区域的正下方向X方向进行平移以外,还需要将指纹识别模组向Y方向进行平移,移动之后,指纹检测区域位于指纹识别模组的视场的一角,其中,X方向和Y方向为同一平面中相互垂直的方向。
例如,图17示出了背光模组仅包括一个第一棱镜膜121的情况下,指 纹识别模组在液晶显示屏中的光学视场区域与指纹检测区域俯视图。图18示出了背光模组包括第一棱镜膜121以及原始棱镜膜1200的情况下,指纹识别模组在液晶显示屏中的光学视场区域与指纹检测区域俯视图。
图17和图18中,圆形虚线表示指纹识别模组在液晶显示屏中的光学视场区域,比较图17和图18可以看出,相较于背光模组仅有一个第一棱镜膜的情况,在背光模组具有第一棱镜膜以及原始棱镜膜的情况下,指纹检测区域103的面积减小一半,该换言之,指纹识别模组的有效视场也减小一半。
但在该方式下,由于增加了一个棱镜膜,相比于一个棱镜膜的情况,液晶显示屏的亮度也得到的提高。
为了综合考虑液晶显示屏的亮度以及指纹识别模组的有效视场,在另一种实施方式中,该两个棱镜膜均可以为经过改进的棱镜膜。
可选地,该两个棱镜膜均可以与上述经过改进后的第一棱镜膜121的结构相同,即两个棱镜膜的结构相同。
可选地,该两个棱镜膜中的一个棱镜膜可以与上述经过改进后的第一棱镜膜121的结构相同,另一个同样为经过改进的棱镜膜,即棱镜膜的两个棱镜膜侧面面积不等,但该棱镜膜的结构与上述第一棱镜膜的结构不同。
为了方便描述,下文的实施例中,背光模组中的一个棱镜膜为上文中的第一棱镜膜121,另一个棱镜膜称之为第二棱镜膜122。可选地,该第二棱镜膜122平行设置于第一棱镜膜121的下方。
本申请实施例的第二棱镜膜122也为棱镜膜结构,其同样由多个三棱镜在基底上排列形成,该第二棱镜膜122也可以理解为在上述棱镜膜1200上进行改进形成的改进后的棱镜膜结构。
图19是本申请实施例提供的另一种指纹识别装置200的示意性结构图,适用于具有液晶显示屏的电子设备,并用于设置在液晶显示屏的背光模组下方以进行屏下指纹识别,其中,该背光模组包括第一棱镜膜和第二棱镜膜,该第一棱镜膜和第二棱镜膜均朝向液晶显示屏的液晶面板。
如图19所示,该指纹识别装置200包括:
指纹识别模组201,位于在所述液晶显示屏10中指纹检测区域103的斜下方,用于接收第一指纹光信号,该第一指纹光信号用于进行指纹识别,其中,第一指纹光信号为指纹光信号经过第一棱镜膜121中其中一个棱镜膜侧面和第二棱镜膜122中其中一个棱镜膜侧面后的光信号,该指纹光信号为经 所述指纹检测区域上方的手指反射或散射而返回的光信号;
第一棱镜膜121中的两个底角互不相等,且第二棱镜膜122中两个底角互不相等,第一棱镜膜121中的两个底角为第一棱镜膜121中两个棱镜膜侧面与液晶显示屏10所在的平面的夹角,第二棱镜膜122中的两个底角为第二棱镜膜122中两个棱镜膜侧面与液晶显示屏10所在的平面的夹角。
图20示出了一种放大后的第二棱镜膜122的截面示意图。
如图20所示,该第二棱镜膜122的基底在下方,其第三棱镜膜侧面1221以及第四棱镜膜侧面1222均朝基底的上方凸出,该第三棱镜膜侧面1221和第四棱镜膜侧面1222均朝向液晶显示屏的液晶面板110,该第二棱镜膜122的基底平行于液晶面板110所在的平面。在本申请实施例中,第二棱镜膜122中多个三棱镜的第一侧面均称之为第三棱镜膜侧面1221,多个三棱镜的第二侧面均称之为第四棱镜膜侧面1222。
如图20所示,第三棱镜膜侧面1221与其基底的夹角,也即第三棱镜膜侧面1221与第一平面的夹角为第三底角β 1,第四棱镜膜侧面1222与其基底的夹角,也即第四棱镜膜侧面1222与第一平面的夹角为第四底角β 2,β 1≠β 2,第三棱镜膜侧面1221的面积与第四棱镜膜侧面1222的面积不相等。
可选地,β 1<β 2,对应的,第二棱镜膜122中第三棱镜膜侧面1221的面积大于第四棱镜膜侧面1222的面积。
在本申请实施例中,β 1越小,第三棱镜膜侧面1221的面积越大,可以使得指纹识别模组具有更大的有效光学视场,指纹识别的效果更佳。但β 1越小,对液晶显示屏的亮度影响越大,为了均衡液晶显示屏的亮度与指纹识别的效果,进一步地,在一些实施方式中,上述第三底角β1的取值范围在30°至45°之间,即30°<β 1≤45°。可选地,β 1=α 1
如图20所示,上述第三棱镜膜侧面1221与第四棱镜膜侧面1222的夹角可以称为第二棱镜膜122的顶角,该第二棱镜膜122的顶角为γ 2,在一些实施方式中,70°<γ 2<110°。可选地,γ 1=γ 2
可选地,在一些实施方式中,γ 1=γ 2=90°,采用该实施方式,可以在实现指纹识别的同时,最大化的保证液晶显示屏的亮度。
此外,在图20中,第二棱镜膜122中两个相邻的三棱镜的棱脊之间的间距(Pitch)为P 2,可选地,P 1的取值范围可以在15μm至40μm之间,一些实施方式中,P 2=P 1=24μm,在另一些实施方式中,P 2和P 1也可以不相等, 本申请实施例对两个棱镜膜的Pitch值不做具体限定。
若第二棱镜膜122设置在上述第一棱镜膜121的下方,则该第二棱镜膜122中的部分区域接收的是第一棱镜膜121中第一棱镜膜侧面1211折射的光信号,例如上述光信号c,而另一部分区域接收的是第一棱镜膜121中第二棱镜膜侧面1212折射的光信号,例如上述光信号d。
如图20所示,第二棱镜膜122上第三棱镜膜侧面1221接收光信号c 1,第四棱镜膜侧面1222接收光信号c 2,该光信号c 1和光信号c 2均为经过第一棱镜膜121中的第一棱镜膜侧面1211折射后的光信号。
光信号c 1被第三棱镜膜侧面1221接收后,经过第二棱镜膜122的折射后,出射为光信号e。光信号c 2被第四棱镜膜侧面1222接收后,经过第二棱镜膜122的折射后,出射为光信号f。由于β 1<β 2,则光信号c 1在第三棱镜膜侧面1221上的入射角小于光信号c 2在第二棱镜膜侧面上的入射角,由折射定律可知,光信号e与垂直方向的夹角小于光信号f与垂直方向的夹角。
可选地,在一种实施方式中,图20中的光信号e可以为图7中的第一指纹光信号102,被指纹识别模组201接收以进行指纹识别。
可选地,在另一种实施方式中,图20中的光信号f也可以为图7中的第一指纹光信号102,被指纹识别模组201接收以进行指纹识别。
换言之,在本申请实施例中,第一指纹光信号为指纹光信号经过第一棱镜膜121中第一棱镜膜侧面1211和第二棱镜膜122中其中一个棱镜膜侧面后的光信号。指纹识别模组201的位置使得其接收不到指纹光信号经过第一棱镜膜121中第二棱镜膜侧面1212和第二棱镜膜122中另一个棱镜膜侧面后的光信号。
应理解,上述图20仅以垂直方向的光信号c 1和c 2进行举例进行了说明,本申请实施例对该第三棱镜膜侧面接收的指纹光信号的方向不做具体限定,其可以包括任意方向的指纹光信号。
与上文对于第一棱镜膜中经过两个侧面的光信号的成像分析类似,第三棱镜膜侧面接收的光信号经过第二棱镜膜折射后,出射的光信号角度较小,而第四棱镜膜侧面接收的光信号经过第二棱镜膜折射后,出射的光信号角度较大。若指纹识别模组设置在指纹检测区域的正下方,在图9的指纹图像的基础上,将指纹图像再次一分为四,形成图21中的指纹图像。其中,S 1对应经过第一棱镜膜侧面1211以及第三棱镜膜侧面1221的折射后的光信号, S 2对应经过第二棱镜膜侧面1212以及第三棱镜膜侧面1221的折射后的光信号,S 3对应经过第一棱镜膜侧面1211以及第四棱镜膜侧面1222的折射后的光信号,S 4对应经过第二棱镜膜侧面1212以及第四棱镜膜侧面1222的折射后的光信号。
此时,若将指纹识别模组设置在指纹检测区域的斜下方,该指纹检测区域设置在指纹识别模组的光学视场的一角,使得指纹识别模组仅接收第一棱镜膜侧面以及第三棱镜膜侧面折射的光信号(对应于图20中的S 1),而接收不到其它棱镜膜侧面折射的光信号,既可以解决指纹图像中的暗区问题,可实现液晶显示屏下的指纹识别功能,也可以使得指纹识别模组具有相对大的有效光学视场,对应较大面积的指纹检测区域。
图22示出了背光模组包括第一棱镜膜121以及第二棱镜膜121的情况下,指纹识别模组的光学视场区域与指纹检测区域俯视图。
图22中,圆形虚线表示指纹识别模组在液晶面板中的光学视场区域,比较图18和图22可以看出,相较于背光模组包括第一棱镜膜121以及原始棱镜膜1200的情况,在背光模组包括第一棱镜膜121以及第二棱镜膜122的情况下,指纹检测区域103的面积增大,该换言之,指纹识别模组的有效视场也增大。
因此,采样本申请实施例,在兼顾液晶显示屏的亮度的同时,还能进一步增大指纹识别模组的有效视场,增加指纹检测区域103的面积,从而采集到较大面积的指纹图像,提高液晶显示屏下的指纹识别性能。
另外,本申请实施例还提供了一种背光模组,适用于具有液晶显示屏的电子设备,该液晶显示屏包括背光模组120;
可选地,本申请实施例中的背光模组120的相关特征可以参见上述实施例中的背光模组120的相关描述。
具体地,背光模组120包括第一棱镜膜121和第二棱镜膜122,第一棱镜膜121和第二棱镜膜122均朝向液晶显示屏的液晶面板;

在一种实施方式中,指纹光信号经过第一棱镜膜121中其中一个棱镜膜 侧面和第二棱镜膜122中其中一个棱镜膜侧面后形成第一指纹光信号,第一指纹光信号用于进行指纹识别,指纹光信号为经指纹检测区域上方的手指反射或散射而返回的光信号。
可选地,第一棱镜膜121中的第一底角α 1小于第二底角α 2,30°≤α 1<45°,第一底角为第一棱镜膜121中第一棱镜膜侧面1211与液晶显示屏所在的平面的夹角,第二底角为第一棱镜膜121中第二棱镜膜侧面1212与液晶显示屏所在的平面的夹角。

可选地,第二棱镜膜122中一个棱镜的棱脊与第一棱镜膜121中一个棱镜的棱脊在第一平面的投影的夹角为θ,70°≤θ≤90°,其中,第一平面为平行于液晶显示屏的平面。
采用本申请实施例的背光模组,可以在保证液晶显示屏亮度的同时,实现液晶显示屏下的大视场的指纹识别功能。
如图23所示,本申请实施例还提供了一种电子设备2,该电子设备2可以包括上述液晶显示屏10以及上述申请实施例的指纹识别装置200,其中,该液晶显示屏10包括上述申请实施例中的背光模组120,该指纹识别装置200设置于背光模组120下方。

可选地,该电子设备2还可以包括红外光源30。
可选地,该红外光源30可以设置在电子设备的玻璃盖板130的下方,且与该液晶显示屏的液晶面板并排设置。
