Abstract

A fingerprint identification device, a display panel, a fabrication method thereof, and a display device are disclosed. The fingerprint identification device includes a fingerprint sensor, an aperture diaphragm, and a first shielding structure. The fingerprint sensor includes a plurality of sensing units; the aperture diaphragm is on a light incident side of the fingerprint sensor and includes an aperture through which light is allowed to be incident on at least one sensing unit of the fingerprint sensor; and the first shielding structure is on a side of the aperture diaphragm facing away from the fingerprint sensor, and surrounds at least a portion of the aperture.

Claims (30)

1. A fingerprint identification device, comprising:

a fingerprint sensor, comprising a plurality of sensing units;

an aperture diaphragm on a light incident side of the fingerprint sensor, the aperture diaphragm comprising an aperture, the aperture being configured to allow light to be incident on at least one sensing unit of the plurality of sensing units through the aperture;

a first shielding structure on a side of the aperture diaphragm facing away from the fingerprint sensor, the first shielding structure being configured to surround at least a portion of the aperture; and

a second shielding structure, configured to cover at least a second side surface of the first shielding structure and comprising a second opening corresponding to the aperture, the second side surface of the first shielding structure being away from the aperture.

2. The fingerprint identification device according to claim 1 , wherein the first shielding structure is configured to be light transmissive and comprises a first opening, the first opening is configured to expose the aperture; and

an external angle between a first side surface of the first shielding structure and a plane where the aperture diaphragm is located is an obtuse angle, and the first side surface of the first shielding structure is close to the aperture.

3. The fingerprint identification device according to claim 1 , wherein the first shielding structure is configured to be opaque and comprises a first opening, the first opening is configured to expose the aperture.

4. The fingerprint identification device according to claim 1 , wherein the first shielding structure is configured to be light transmissive and to cover the aperture.

5. The fingerprint identification device according to claim 1 , wherein the second shielding structure is configured to be light transmissive;

an included angle between the second side surface of the first shielding structure or a tangent line of the second side surface and a plane where the aperture diaphragm is located is an obtuse angle; and

a refractive index of the second shielding structure is greater than a refractive index of the first shielding structure.

6. The fingerprint identification device according to claim 5 , wherein the second side surface of the first shielding structure is a convex surface, the convex surface is configured to protrude in a direction facing towards the second shielding structure, and an included angle between a tangent line of the convex surface and the plane where the aperture diaphragm is located is an obtuse angle.

7. The fingerprint identification device according to claim 1 , wherein the aperture diaphragm comprises an opaque material.

8. The fingerprint identification device according to claim 1 , wherein the first shielding structure is configured to reduce or block ambient light incident on the at least one sensing unit through the aperture.

9. A display panel, comprising the fingerprint identification device according to claim 1 .

10. The display panel according to claim 9 , further comprising:

a display pixel array, comprising a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array,

wherein both the first shielding structure and the aperture are in a gap between the plurality of pixel units.

11. The display panel according to claim 10 , wherein the first shielding structure is further configured as a pixel defining layer for defining respective pixel units in the display pixel array.

12. The display panel according to claim 10 , wherein the first shielding structure is further configured as a spacer for supporting in the display pixel array.
