Abstract

This disclosure relates to an optical fingerprint identification display screen and a display device. In this disclosure, a plurality of photosensitive elements for fingerprint identification is arranged on an array substrate, such that mesh regions of a mesh-like black matrix layer corresponds to the photosensitive elements. A plurality of light guide members at least covering each of the photosensitive elements is arranged between each photosensitive element and the counter substrate. Since the light guide members and the counter substrate are in contact with each other, light reflected from ridges and valleys of a fingerprint will enter the light guide members maximally after passing through the mesh regions of the black matrix layer, and then directly impinge on the photosensitive elements after refraction within the light guide members.

Claims (50)

1. An optical fingerprint identification display screen, comprising:

a counter substrate and an array substrate arranged opposite one another;

a plurality of photosensitive elements arranged on a side of the array substrate facing the counter substrate for fingerprint identification;

a mesh-like black matrix layer arranged on the side of the array substrate facing the counter substrate or on a side of the counter substrate facing the array substrate, mesh regions of the mesh-like black matrix layer corresponding to the photosensitive elements; and

a plurality of light guide members arranged between each of the photosensitive elements and the counter substrate and at least covering each of the photosensitive elements;

wherein each mesh region of the mesh-like black matrix layer is located between two directly adjacent pixels in a column of pixels;

and wherein each light guide member is a truncated cone comprising a top surface and a bottom surface, an area of the top surface is smaller than an area of the bottom surface, and the top surface is in contact with the counter substrate.

2. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the photosensitive elements is encompassed in a fingerprint identification member, the fingerprint identification member being arranged on the side of the array substrate facing the counter substrate.

3. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the photosensitive elements is arranged in a gap between pixels of the array substrate, and

each mesh region of the mesh-like black matrix layer corresponds to one respective photosensitive element.

4. The display screen according to claim 3 , wherein

the photosensitive elements are evenly distributed in a gap between pixels of the array substrate.

5. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein

the light guide members have a refractive index greater than that of each film between the light guide members and a surface of the counter substrate facing away from the light guide members, and greater than that of a film located in a same horizontal plane as the light guide members.

6. The display screen according to claim 5 , wherein

the display screen further comprises a liquid crystal display screen, and

the light guide members comprise transparent spacers which are in one-to-one correspondence to the photosensitive elements.

7. The display screen according to claim 6 , wherein

the spacers have a refractive index greater than that of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal display screen, and greater than that of each film on the counter substrate.

8. The display screen according to claim 5 , wherein

the display screen further comprises an electroluminescent display screen, and

the light guide members comprise transparent pixel defining layers.

9. The display screen according to claim 8 , wherein

the pixel defining layers have a refractive index greater than that of each film within a light emitting device on the electroluminescent display screen, and greater than that of each film on the counter substrate.

10. The display screen according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a protective cover plate arranged on a side of the counter substrate facing away from the array substrate, wherein at least in a position corresponding to the mesh region of the mesh-like black matrix layer, a surface of the protective cover plate facing away from the counter substrate comprises a rough surface.

11. A display device, comprising: the optical fingerprint identification display screen according to claim 1 .

12. The display screen according to claim 10 , wherein

each of the photosensitive elements is encompassed in a fingerprint identification member, the fingerprint identification member being arranged on the side of the array substrate facing the counter substrate.

13. The display screen according to claim 10 , wherein

each of the photosensitive elements is arranged in a gap between pixels of the array substrate, and

there is a one-to-one correspondence between the mesh regions of the mesh-like black matrix layer and the photosensitive elements.

14. The display screen according to claim 13 , wherein

the photosensitive elements are evenly distributed in a gap between pixels of the array substrate.

15. The display screen according to claim 10 , wherein

the light guide members have a refractive index greater than that of each film between the light guide members and a surface of the counter substrate facing away from the light guide members, and greater than that of a film located in a same horizontal plane as the light guide members.

16. The display screen according to claim 15 , wherein

the display screen comprises a liquid crystal display screen, and

the light guide members comprise transparent spacers which are in one-to-one correspondence to the photosensitive elements.

17. The display screen according to claim 15 , wherein

the display screen comprises an electroluminescent display screen, and

the light guide members comprise transparent pixel defining layers.

18. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein

each of the photosensitive elements is encompassed in a fingerprint identification member, the fingerprint identification member being arranged on the side of the array substrate facing the counter substrate.

19. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein

each of the photosensitive elements is arranged in a gap between pixels of the array substrate, and

each mesh region of the mesh-like black matrix layer corresponds to one respective photosensitive element.

20. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein the light guide members have a refractive index greater than that of each film between the light guide members and a surface of the counter substrate facing away from the light guide members, and greater than that of a film located in a same horizontal plane as the light guide members.
