Abstract

The present application provides an optical fingerprint apparatus and an electronic device, which could reduce a thickness of the optical fingerprint apparatus. The optical fingerprint apparatus is applied to an electronic device having a display screen and configured to be disposed under the display screen, and the optical fingerprint apparatus comprises: an optical fingerprint chip configured to receive a fingerprint detecting signal, wherein the fingerprint detecting signal is used to detect fingerprint information of a finger; and a filter structure, wherein the filter structure is deposited or sputtered on the optical fingerprint chip.

Claims (22)

1. An optical fingerprint apparatus, wherein the optical fingerprint apparatus is applied to an electronic device having a display screen and configured to be disposed under the display screen, and the optical fingerprint apparatus comprises:
