Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the known optical finger navigation modules, image sensors (such as complementary metal oxide semiconductor image sensors) are mostly opaque chips, and generally need to be equipped with a lens to capture a good finger image. The arrangement of the image sensor and the lens makes the known optical finger navigation modules all have a certain thickness and volume, which is not easy to be thinned
For example, optical finger navigation modules disclosed in US Patent No. 7,045,775, US Patent No. 7,161,682, US Patent No. 6,433,780, US Patent No. 5,686,720, US Patent No. 7,408,718, and US Patent Publication No. Disadvantages of difficulty in thinning

Abstract

The invention discloses an optical sensing module, which comprises a light conducting element, a light source, a light blocking element, a plurality of optical sensors and optical elements.The light conducting element has a plane of light incidence and a plane of emitting light and the light source provides light.The light blocking element is arranged on a portion of the plane of emitting light and the plurality of optical sensors are arranged on the light blocking element.The optical elements are arranged above the plane of emitting light.The optical sensors and the light blocking element are arranged between the optical elements and the light conducting element.The optical elements have touch surfaces.Light discharged out of the plane of emitting light passes through the optical elements.When an object touches the touch surface, the light is reflected and is received by the optical sensors.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optical sensing module, and in particular to a thinned optical sensing module. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development and application of information technology, wireless mobile communication and information home appliances, many information products, such as smart phones, notebook computers, etc., are equipped with optical finger navigation modules (optical finger navigation, OFN). In the known optical finger navigation modules, most infrared light emitting diodes are used as light sources, and the infrared light emitted by the infrared light emitting diodes is projected onto the user's finger through a prism, and the image of the finger is passed through an image sensor (such as a complementary metal oxide object semiconductor image sensor) capture. Then, after the image of the finger is captured by the image sensor, an image processing method can be used to analyze the differences of the images ...
