Abstract

An under-screen fingerprint identification system includes an image sensing element, a display element, a translucent cover, and a Bragg polarization grating. The display element is disposed on the image sensing element. The translucent cover is disposed on the display element, and the display element is located between the translucent cover and the image sensing element. The translucent cover has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and the first surface is farther away from the display element than the second surface. The Bragg polarization grating is disposed on the second surface of the translucent cover.

Claims (30)

1. An under-screen fingerprint identification system comprising:

an image sensing element;

a display element disposed on the image sensing element;

a translucent cover disposed on the display element, wherein the display element is located between the translucent cover and the image sensing element, the translucent cover has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and the first surface is farther away from the display element than the second surface; and

a Bragg polarization grating disposed on the second surface of the translucent cover.

2. The under-screen fingerprint identification system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a light source adapted to emit a sensing beam, wherein the sensing beam is transmitted toward the first surface of the translucent cover after the sensing beam is deflected by the Bragg polarization grating.

3. The under-screen fingerprint identification system according to claim 2 , wherein the Bragg polarization grating is disposed between the display element and the second surface of the translucent cover.

4. The under-screen fingerprint identification system according to claim 2 , wherein the sensing beam is a linear polarization beam, and a polarization direction of the linear polarization beam is parallel to a direction of a penetration axis of the Bragg polarization grating.

5. The under-screen fingerprint identification system according to claim 1 , wherein the Bragg polarization grating is a dispersed polymer material film layer.

6. The under-screen fingerprint identification system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a backlight module disposed between the display element and the image sensing element, wherein a portion of the backlight module corresponding to the image sensing element has a plurality of through holes.

7. The under-screen fingerprint identification system according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a control element electrically coupled to the display element and the backlight module;

wherein when an object to be identified is disposed on the first surface of the translucent cover, the control element turns off the backlight module.

8. The under-screen fingerprint identification system according to claim 7 , wherein when the object to be identified is disposed on the first surface of the translucent cover, the control element makes the display element be in a light penetrable state.

9. An under-screen fingerprint identification system comprising:

an image sensing element;

a display element disposed on the image sensing element;

a translucent cover disposed on the display element, wherein the display element is located between the translucent cover and the image sensing element, the translucent cover has a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a light incident surface connected between the first surface and the second surface; and

a light source adapted to emit a sensing beam, the sensing beam comprising a first portion having a first wavelength range and a second portion having a second wavelength range; and

a band pass filter element disposed on the light incident surface of the translucent cover, wherein the first portion of the sensing beam having the first wavelength range enters the translucent cover passing through the band pass filter element, and the second portion of the sensing beam having the second wavelength range is blocked by the band pass filter element.

10. The under-screen fingerprint identification system according to claim 9 , wherein the sensing beam has a first full width at half maximum, a transmission spectrum of the band pass filter element has a second full width at half maximum, and the second full width at half maximum is less than the first full width at half maximum.

11. The under-screen fingerprint identification system according to claim 9 , wherein the first surface is farther away from the display element than the second surface, an included angle θ is between the light incident surface and the first surface, and 0°<θ<90°.

12. The under-screen fingerprint identification system according to claim 9 , further comprising:

a backlight module disposed between the display element and the image sensing element, wherein a portion of the backlight module corresponding to the image sensing element has a plurality of through holes.

13. The under-screen fingerprint identification system according to claim 12 , further comprising:

a control element electrically coupled to the display element and the backlight module;

wherein when an object to be identified is disposed on the first surface of the translucent cover, the control element turns off the backlight module.

14. The under-screen fingerprint identification system according to claim 13 , wherein when the object to be identified is disposed on the first surface of the translucent cover, the control element makes the display element be in a light penetrable state.
