Abstract

An optical identification module including a sensor and a collimator is provided. The sensor has a plurality of sensing regions. The collimator is disposed on the sensing regions, and the collimator includes a transparent substrate and a first light shielding layer. The first light shielding layer is disposed on a first surface of the transparent substrate. The first light shielding layer includes a plurality of first openings. A ratio of a thickness of the first light shielding layer to a width of each of the first openings is greater than 1.

Claims (24)

1 . An optical identification module, comprising:

a sensor, having a plurality of sensing regions; and

a collimator, disposed on the sensing regions, the collimator comprising:

a transparent substrate; and

a first light shielding layer, disposed on a first surface of the transparent substrate, wherein the first light shielding layer comprises a plurality of first openings, and a ratio of a thickness of the first light shielding layer to a width of each of the first openings is greater than 1.

2 . The optical identification module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first light shielding layer is located between the transparent substrate and the sensor, and a size of each of the first openings is less than or equal to a size of each of the sensing regions.

3 . The optical identification module as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the collimator further comprises:

a second light shielding layer, disposed on a second surface of the transparent substrate, wherein the second surface is opposite to the first surface, the second light shielding layer comprises a plurality of second openings, and a size of each of the second openings is greater than or equal to the size of each of the first openings.

4 . The optical identification module as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the collimator further comprises:

a plurality of microlenses, disposed on the second surface and respectively located in the second openings.

5 . The optical identification module as claimed in claim 4 , wherein an absolute value of a difference in refractive index between the microlenses and the transparent substrate is less than 0.1.

6 . The optical identification module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the transparent substrate is located between the first light shielding layer and the sensor.

7 . The optical identification module as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the collimator further comprises:

a second light shielding layer, disposed on a second surface of the transparent substrate, wherein the second surface is opposite to the first surface, the second light shielding layer comprises a plurality of second openings, a size of each of the second openings is less than or equal to a size of each of the sensing regions, and a size of each of the first openings is greater than or equal to the size of each of the second openings.

8 . The optical identification module as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the collimator further comprises:

a plurality of microlenses, disposed on the first surface and respectively located in the first openings.

9 . An optical identification module, comprising

a sensor, having a plurality of sensing regions; and

a collimator, disposed on the sensing regions, the collimator comprising:

a transparent substrate, having a first surface and a second surface, and the second surface located between the first surface and the sensor;

a first light shielding layer, disposed on the first surface, and the first light shielding layer comprising a plurality of first openings; and

a second light shielding layer, disposed on the second surface, and the second light shielding layer comprising a plurality of second openings, wherein a size of each of the second openings is less than or equal to a size of each of the sensing regions, and a size of each of the first openings is greater than or equal to the size of each of the second openings.

10 . The optical identification module as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the collimator further comprises:

a plurality of microlenses, disposed on the first surface and respectively located in the first openings.
