采用该实施方式,仅在用户手指或其它物体触摸于侧面盖板201中对应于第一容置区域203的局部盖板时,才开启光学指纹检测装置100,可以在 实现电子设备无孔化设计的前提下,避免光学指纹检测装置一直处于工作状态,从而降低光学指纹检测装置100的功耗及其所在电子设备的功耗。进一步的,在感压层感测手指触摸的基础上,再通过光学指纹检测装置进行指纹检测,还能够提高检测的准确性,防止非手指的其它物体的触摸也能对电子设备进行操控。

通过该实施方式将光学指纹检测装置100设置于第一容置区域203中,可以使得光学指纹检测装置100中的指纹传感器130和光学组件120与侧面盖板201之间的距离相对保持稳定,从而使得侧面盖板201处的用户手指至光学组件120之间的光路相对保持稳定,因此,可以提高光学指纹检测装置100的指纹成像性能以及指纹检测性能。
可选地,在第四种实施方式中,如图6所示,第一容置区域203为凹槽,第一基板140用于固定至凹槽的底部,侧面结构件202以及侧面盖板201共同形成腔体,以容纳和保护光学组件120、指纹传感器130和第一基板140,该第一基板140、光学组件120和指纹传感器130均设置于第一容置区域203中。
可以理解的是,若第一容置区域203为凹槽,即可参见上文中,载板204为机械结构件,且载板204与侧面结构件202为一体成型结构的相关技术方案。

当然,图5所示的实施方式中,也可在光学指纹检测模组设置有连接件205的基础上,进一步按照图3或者图4中的实施方式,将第一基板140固定至侧面结构件202或者将第一基板140设置于载板204上。以进一步增强 光学指纹检测模组在第一容置区域203处的稳定性。
为了方便描述,下文中以第一容置区域203为通孔为例进行说明,第一容置区域203为凹槽的情况可以适应性参见下文的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
可以理解的是,经由手指反射或透射后形成的光信号除了上述携带有手指指纹信息的指纹光信号以外,还可以携带有脉搏、血氧、静脉等生物特征信息。换言之,本申请实施例的光学指纹检测装置除了可以检测指纹以外,还可以用于检测脉搏、血氧、静脉等其它生物特征信息,以进行活体检测、人体健康检测等其它功能。
还可以理解的是,上文中的“第一方向”朝向电子设备的侧面的外侧,即“第一方向”可为图1至图6中所示Z轴的正方向。对应的,上文中的“第二方向”朝向电子设备的侧面的内侧,即“第二方向”可为图1至图6中所示Z轴的负方向。为了便于结合附图对本申请中的相关实施例进行说明,除了特殊情况下的说明以外,下文中的“上方”指朝向电子设备的外侧的“第一方向”,“下方”指朝向电子设备的内侧的“第二方向”。
下面,以图3中所示的光学指纹检测模组在第一容置区域203中的第一种安装方式为例,结合图7至图13说明本申请实施例中其它多种光学指纹检测装置100的结构示意图。
图7示出了光学指纹检测装置100的另一种结构示意图,该结构示意图可为沿图1中XZ轴所在平面的截面结构示意图。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,上述侧面盖板201可为弧面盖板,弧面朝向所述电子设备侧面的外侧凸起。
在一些实施方式中,如图7所示,侧面盖板201包括第一面和第二面,其中,第一面为弧面,该第一面朝向电子设备侧面的外侧凸起,第二面为平面,便于与侧面结构件202进行连接。
或者,在另一些实施方式中,侧面盖板201的第二面也可为与朝向电子设备侧面的外侧凸起的弧面。又或者,在另一些实施方式中,侧面盖板201也可不为弧面盖板,其为平面盖板,本申请实施例对该盖板的具体形态不做限定,其可根据电子设备的设计要求进行相应的设计。
具体地,若侧面盖板201为弧面盖板,则该弧面盖板的第一面用于与用户手指接触,相比于平面盖板,该弧面盖板可以改善用户手指的接触体验,更重要的是,该弧面盖板的弧面弧度可根据实际需求进行相应设计,以提升 电子设备的外观的美观度。
在这一点上,目前设置于电子设备表面的电容指纹检测装置则一般为平面结构,外观上比较单一,没有立体感,客户体验不佳,另外,灰尘等物质经常会很容易吸附在平面上,导致指纹识别出现误判等问题,且手机在摔落时,会对整个电容指纹检测装置的平面造成损伤,影响指纹检测装置的性能,且也不方便实现电子设备的无孔化设计。且即使在电容指纹检测装置上方设置盖板,由于电容指纹检测装置的检测原理是基于手指与电极之间的电容检测,因此,盖板会影响手指与电极之间的电容,造成电容指纹检测装置检测到的指纹信号变小,从而影响指纹检测的性能,进一步地,若电子设备需求设计弧面盖板,若弧面盖板的弧度过大,手指与电容指纹装置的距离过远,则可能会造成电容指纹检测装置检测到的指纹信号不可用,因此,弧面盖板的弧度不能根据实际需求进行灵活设计。综上,对于电容指纹检测装置,其不适宜设置在电子设备的盖板下,无法实现电子设备的无孔化设计,在电子设备的美观度、适配性以及防水性上,光学指纹检测装置优于电容指纹检测装置。
继续参见图7,可选地,在该光学指纹检测模组中,光学组件120可以包括:微透镜阵列121以及设置于该微透镜阵列121下方的光阑层122。其中,微透镜阵列121包括多个微透镜,每个微透镜用于将其上方的光信号进行会聚后传输至其下方的光阑层。光阑层122为光吸收材料制备形成,其中设置有多个通光小孔,该多个通光小孔用于对微透镜会聚后的光信号进行方向选择,使得目标方向的光信号经过通光小孔进入至指纹传感器130中,而非目标方向的杂散光信号则被非通过小孔所在区域的光吸收材料吸收,从而防止杂散光信号对指纹成像造成干扰。
指纹传感器130中包括多个像素(Pixel)单元形成的像素阵列(Pixel Array),用于将经过光阑层122的光信号转换为对应的图像信号。具体地,该指纹传感器130可以为通过半导体工艺制作的指纹传感器芯片,上述光学组件120可以一体封装于该指纹传感器芯片中,或者也可以独立设置于指纹传感器芯片的上方。

可选地,该指纹传感器130中的多个像素单元可以用于接收相同方向的指纹光信号,例如,多个像素单元均接收垂直于显示屏的指纹光信号,或者多个像素单元均接收倾斜于显示屏的特定方向的指纹光信号。
可选地,该指纹传感器130中的多个像素单元还可以用于接收不同方向的指纹光信号以形成多张指纹图像的指纹图像信号,例如,多个像素单元中第一部分像素单元接收一个方向的指纹光信号,形成第一指纹图像的指纹图像信号;第二部分像素单元接收另一方向的指纹光信号,形成第二指纹图像的指纹图像信号。
在一些实施方式中,该光阑层122可以通过半导体工艺生长或者其它工艺形成在指纹传感器130上方,例如,通过原子层沉积、溅射镀膜、电子束蒸发镀膜、离子束镀膜等方法在指纹传感器130上方制备一层非透光材料薄膜,再进行小孔图形光刻和刻蚀,形成多个通光小孔。可以理解的是,在光学组件120包括多层光阑层122的情况下,其中最底层光阑层122与指纹传感器130之间,以及相邻的光阑层122之间,可以通过透明介质层进行隔离。
可以理解的是,光学组件120除了可以为图4中所示的结构以外,其还可以为其它光引导结构,例如包括一个或者多个光学透镜的光学透镜组件、具有多个准直单元或者微孔阵列的准直器(collimator)层等,本申请实施例对该光学组件120的具体结构不做限定。
在本申请实施例中,光学组件120采用上述图7中所示的结构,相比于基于光学透镜成像的光学指纹检测装置,可以不受制透镜成像光路的限制,降低光学组件的厚度,有利于实现光学指纹检测装置的轻薄化。此外,相比于基于准直器层成像的光学指纹检测装置,其利用微透镜阵列进行光信号的会聚,且利用一层或者多层光阑层对光信号进行方向引导,能够进一步提高指纹光信号的质量,从而提高光学指纹检测装置的指纹检测性能。
另外,可以理解的是,若侧面盖板201为弧面盖板,在一些实施方式中,该弧面盖板可作为一种凸透镜结构,具有会聚光的作用,即将经由手指反射或透射后形成携带有指纹信息的指纹光信号会聚至光学组件120,提高光学组件120接收的指纹光信号的光强,从而进一步提高光学指纹检测装置100 的性能。
可选地,图7所示的实施例中,还可进一步包括第一基板140,指纹传感器130可通过胶层设置于第一基板140上,该胶层包括但不限于是芯片粘接薄膜(Die Attach Film,DAF)胶层。第一基板140在支撑指纹传感器130的同时,用于与指纹传感器130电连接,并传输该指纹传感器130经过光电转换后的指纹电信号至处理单元中,以执行后续的指纹检测等处理动作。

可选地,指纹传感器130可直接设置于FPC上方,或者FPC中可形成有窗口,指纹传感器130设置于该窗口中并位于补强板上方,采用前一种实施方式,制备工艺简单能够提高生产效率,采用后一种实施方式,则能够降低光学指纹检测装置100的高度,从而减小其占用的电子设备空间。
在一些实施方式中,第一基板140可仅作为指纹传感器130的电路板,用于传输指纹传感器130的电信号并对其上方的指纹传感器130和光学组件120起到支撑作用,进一步地,第一基板140上还可设置处理单元以及其他类型的电学元器件,用于执行完整的指纹检测功能。
在另一些实施方式中,第一基板140也可为电子设备中其它功能模块的电路板,在此基础上,同时复用为指纹传感器130的电路板。
在本申请实施例中,可通过将补强板141固定于电子设备的载板204上方,以将光学指纹检测装置100固定设置于电子设备的侧面。

优选地,在一些实施方式中,光源160(图中未示出)用于发射红外光和/或近红外光至侧面盖板201上方的手指,对应的,该红外光和/或近红外光能够经过手指反射或者透射后,再经过侧面盖板201传输至光学组件120。在此情况下,侧面盖板201需透过红外和/或近红外波段的光信号,换言之,上述目标波段包括红外和/或近红外波段。作为示例,侧面盖板201的内表面和/或外表面可涂覆透红外油墨,用于透过红外波段的光信号,而阻挡非红外波段的干扰光信号。
采用本申请实施例的方案,通过光源发射红外和/或近红外光,并主要利用经过手指透射的红外光和/或近红外光进行光学指纹成像,以进行指纹检测,从而检测用户手指的操作。因而对光源的位置要求不高,仅需满足红外光能够达到按压于盖板处的手指即可。因而,可以根据不同的电子设备的空间情况,灵活设置本申请实施例中光学指纹检测装置中的光源位置。
可选地,在图7所示的实施例中,光学指纹检测装置100还可包括:滤光层,其可设置于侧面盖板201至指纹传感器130的光路之间,用于通过目标波段的光信号,滤除非目标波段的光信号。

此外,在图8和图9所示实施例中,指纹传感器130的一侧可通过第一引线131连接至第一基板140,且该第一引线131的周围可包覆有引线保护胶132,以对该第一引线131进行支撑和保护。通过引线保护胶132,能够保证第一基板140和指纹传感器130之间的电连接的稳定性,进一步的,能够保证光学指纹检测装置100的性能。
在本申请实施例中,为了限制整个光学指纹检测装置100的厚度,该引线保护胶132的高度不大于150μm,其中,该引线保护胶132的高度是指其在Z方向上的最高点与第一基板140之间的高度。
如图8和图9所示,在本申请实施例中,在一些实施方式中,该光源160可与指纹传感器130一起设置于第一容置区域203中,且光源160可设置于第一基板140上方,与该第一基板140电连接。
但为了防止光源160的发射光信号和/或非手指反射光信号等干扰光信号直接进入光学组件120和指纹传感器130,对指纹检测造成干扰。该光学 指纹检测装置100还包括:挡光结构170,设置于光学组件120和指纹传感器130与光源160之间,以阻挡上述干扰光信号。
作为示例,该挡光结构170包括但不限于是不透光的支撑结构,其可以在阻挡干扰光信号的同时,进一步支撑侧面盖板201。该挡光结构170可以为泡棉,其处于压缩状态,可以起到支撑作用。
在本申请实施例中,将光源160和指纹传感器130均设置在同一第一基板140上,便于光源160的安装,不需对光源160设置额外的电学连接件,在降低成本的同时方便实现对光源160和指纹传感器130的共同控制。
当然,该光源160也可不设置于第一基板140上,而设置于第一基板140的周围,本申请实施例对光源160和第一基板140的相对位置关系不做具体限定。
可选地,上述光源160可为点光源、线光源或者面光源。作为示例,该光源160可以包括一个或多个发光二极管(Light Emitting Diode,LED),分布设置于指纹传感器130的周围。

如图10所示,侧面结构件202形成的第一容置区域203为方形腔体,光源160与指纹传感器130一起设置于该方形腔体中。如图10中的(a)图所示,多个光源160设置于第一基板140之外,并位于第一基板140的一侧,并沿X轴方向排成一行。如图10中的(b)图所示,多个光源160设置于第一基板140上,并分布设置于第一基板140的四角。
当然,光源160除了可以设置为图10中的(a)图或者(b)图中所示的多个点光源以外,其还可以为其它形式的光源,例如线光源等。
此外,光源160除了设置于图10中的(a)图或者(b)图所示位置以外,光源160还可设置于指纹传感器130至侧面结构件202之间的任意位置,即如图10中的(c)图中所示的两个虚线框之间任意位置。
在另一些实施方式中,该光源160也可设置于第一容置区域203之外,此时,第一容置区域203四周的侧面结构件202用于阻挡光源160的发射光信号和/或非手指反射光信号直接进入指纹传感器130,对指纹检测造成干扰。
图11示出了该实施方式下的光学指纹检测装置100的另一结构示意图。该图11中所示的光学指纹检测装置100可为沿图1中YZ轴所在平面的截面结构示意图。上述图7和该图11可分别为另一光学指纹检测装置100沿XZ轴所在平面的截面示意图和沿YZ轴所在平面的截面示意图。
如图11所示,上述光学组件120、指纹传感器130以及第一基板140等均设置于第一容置区域203中,而光源160设置于侧面结构件202中形成的第二容置区域205中。作为一种示例,该第二容置区域205同样可为通孔、凹槽或者其它类型的容置空间,该通孔的一端或者凹槽的开口处覆盖侧面盖板201。可选地,该第一容置区域203和第二容置区域205可相邻设置。
作为一种示例,如图11所示,该光源160可直接设置于载板204上。
或者,在其它示例中,该光源160也可单独设置有第二基板,该第二基板与第一基板140可设置于同一平面上或者接近于同一平面,用于传输控制信号至光源160以控制光源160发光。作为示例,该第二基板可为柔性电路板FPC,其下方可设置有补强板,该补强板和第二基板用于共同支撑光源160。可选地,图11所示的实施例中,第二基板的一端用于连接光源160,其另一端可用于连接至电子设备的其它功能模块,以对光源160提供电源以及控制信号。在该示例中,光源160独立于光学指纹检测装置100的其它部件单独设置。便于对该光源160的拆卸和维修。
在电子设备的侧面中,若提供的可用于容纳光学指纹检测装置100的第一容置区域203的空间较小的情况下,可选用图11中所示的实施例方案,将光源160设置于第二容置区域205中,灵活适配于不同电子设备的需求。
需要说明的是,上文图11中所示的光学指纹检测装置100的结构示意图仅为说明其中光源160的位置设计,除光源160的设计方案以外,其中侧面盖板201、光学组件120、指纹传感器130、第一基板140和载板204的相关技术方案可以参见上文相关描述,此处不再赘述。
还需要说明的是,上文图8至图11中所示的光源160的位置仅为示意性说明,除了上述几种实施例所示出了位置以外,光源160还可以设置于电子设备中的其它任意位置,再通过光学元件,例如,光反射元件等通过一次或者多次光反射将光源160发出的光信号导引至侧面盖板201上方的手指部位即可,本申请实施例对光源160的具体位置不做限定。
在上文实施例中,光学组件120和指纹传感器130周围未设置遮光结构, 因而能够接收较多的干扰光信号,对指纹识别有一定的干扰。为了进一步提高光学指纹检测装置100的性能,在上文实施例的基础上,图12和图13示出了光学指纹检测装置100的另两种结构示意图,该两种结构示意图可分别为沿图1中XZ轴所在平面和YZ轴所在平面的截面结构示意图。
可选地,如图12和图13所示,光学指纹检测装置100还可以包括:
遮光层180,其中形成有第一开窗1801,该第一开窗1801位于指纹传感器130上方,用于通过指纹光信号以被指纹传感器130接收。具体地,遮光层180可以用于遮挡杂散光光信号,防止其进入至指纹传感器130中,从而减小环境因素对指纹识别过程的干扰。
在本申请的一些实施例中,遮光层180可为遮挡胶层,可选地,遮光层180的厚度为10-30μm,例如20μm。当然,遮光层180的厚度也可以为其它具体数值或在一个其他预设数值范围内,本申请对此不做具体限定。
当然,在其他可替代实施例中,也可以利用滤光片替代遮光层180。其中,滤光片用于来减少指纹感应中的不期望的环境光,以提高指纹传感器130对接收到的光的光学感应。滤光片具体可以用于过滤掉特定波长的光,例如,近红外光和部分的红光等。例如,人类手指吸收波长低于580nm的光的能量中的大部分,基于此,滤光片可以设计为过滤波长从580nm至红外的光,以减少环境光对指纹感应中的光学检测的影响。
可选地,在一些实施方式中,上述光学组件120中的至少部分区域位于该第一开窗1801中。
例如,如图12和图13所示,光学组件120中的微透镜阵列121位于上述第一开窗1801中,光学组件120中的至少一光阑层与指纹传感器130一起集成于指纹传感器芯片中,该遮光层180中第一开窗1801的四周区域设置于指纹传感器芯片的边缘区域的表面。
可选地,如图12和图13所示,光学指纹检测装置100还可以包括:支撑层190,设置于第一基板140和遮光层180之间,用于支撑该遮光层180。

可选地,该支撑层190的上表面不高于光学组件120中微透镜阵列121的上表面的最高点,换言之,支撑层190在Z方向上的最高点不高于光学组件120在Z方向上的最高点。
进一步地,如图12和图13所示,光学组件120中至少一层光阑层与指纹传感器130集成在指纹传感器芯片中,该支撑层190的上表面不高于该指纹传感器芯片的上表面,换言之,支撑层190在Z方向上的最高点不高于指纹传感器芯片在Z方向上的最高点。
在一些实施方式中,支撑层190通过固定胶固定在第一基板140的表面。例如,支撑层190的材料包括但不限于金属、树脂、玻纤复合板以及胶层等。例如,支撑层190为聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(polyethylene glycol terephthalate,PET)材料层或者聚酰亚胺(polyimide,PI)材料层。再如,支撑层190也可以是由泡棉材料形成的支架。可选地,固定胶可以为双面胶。
通过本申请实施例的方案,该支撑层190的设置不会额外增加光学指纹检测装置100的厚度,而仅为支撑遮光层180,以提高遮光层180的稳定性。
继续参见图12和图13,为了提高侧面盖板201的可靠性和稳定性,可选地,在侧面盖板201的下方设置有泡棉112,该泡棉可处于压缩状态,以进一步支撑侧面盖板201。
在本申请实施例中,泡棉112可设置于第一容置区域203中的任意位置,以对侧面盖板201进行支撑。可选地,在一些实施方式中,该泡棉112可设置于光学组件120和指纹传感器130四周,具体地,可设置于上述支撑层190的四周,用于连接第一基板140和侧面盖板201。
优选地,在另一些实施方式中,如图12和图13所示,该泡棉112设置于支撑层190和遮光层180上方,用于连接遮光层180和侧面盖板201,该泡棉层112在起到支撑侧面盖板201的作用的同时,还能进一步起到阻挡杂散光的作用。可选地,该泡棉层112可以通过胶带(tape)连接在遮光层180和侧面盖板201之间。
可选地,如图12和图13所示,该泡棉层112可以设置有贯通该泡棉层112的第四开窗1121。可选地,该第四开窗1121设置于光学组件120的上方,具体的,设置于微透镜阵列121的上方,以通过指纹光信号被光学组件120以及指纹传感器130接收。可选地,该第四开窗1121的面积不小于上述 遮光层180中第一开窗1801的面积。
进一步地,继续参见图13,指纹传感器130通过第一引线131连接至第一基板140,该第一引线设置于指纹传感器130的其中一边。上述支撑层190设置于第一引线131以及引线保护胶132的一侧,且上述遮光层180可直接覆盖于该引线保护胶132上方。
可选地,遮光层180中还可设置有第二开窗1802,其中,第一引线131和引线保护胶132顶部区域位于该第二开窗1802中。
需要说明的是,如图13所示,指纹传感器130的第一引线131与微透镜阵列121之间也设置有部分遮光层180,该部分遮光层180位于上述第一开窗1801和第三开窗1802之间。该部分遮光层180除了可以用于阻挡杂散光以外,还可以阻挡用于阻挡引线保护胶132蔓延至微透镜阵列121,防止影响微透镜阵列121的光会聚效果。
可以理解的是,图12和图13中所示的实施例中,光源160与光学组件120和指纹传感器130之间的泡棉112、遮光层180以及支撑层190可复用为上文图8和图9中的挡光结构170。

作为示例,若光学指纹检测模组以图5中所示的第三种安装方式安装于第一容置区域203中,图14和图15分别示出了该情况下光学指纹检测装置100的另两种结构示意图,其中,图14所示的结构示意图可为沿图1中XZ轴所在平面的截面结构示意图,图15所示的结构示意图可为沿图1中YZ轴所在平面的截面结构示意图。
如图14和图15所示,第一基板140通过支撑层190、遮光层180以及泡棉112连接至侧面盖板201。在本申请实施例中,泡棉112应具有连接作用,例如,该泡棉112与遮光层180以及侧面盖板201的接触面上均设置有胶层,可以实现泡棉112与遮光层180以及侧面盖板201的稳定连接。或者, 在本申请实施例中,图14和图15中的泡棉112可替换为胶带,具有更为稳定的连接作用。
可以理解的是,除了泡棉112应具有连接作用以外,遮光层180以及支撑层190均应具有连接作用,换言之,在一些实施方式中,遮光层180、支撑层190以及泡棉112三者之间的连接面上均需设置有胶层,以实现三者的稳定连接。
还可以理解的是,本申请实施例中,上文图5中用于连接第一基板140和侧面盖板201的连接件205可包括该遮光层180、支撑层190以及泡棉112。
