Problems solved by technology

[0005] The role of the optical fiber array 02 divides the light, and transmits the reflected light at different positions at the bottom of the finger 05 to different pixel units in the CMOS image sensor array. The sensitivity is not high. In order to improve the contrast of the reflected light of the convex and concave grooves, the light bundle in the fiber array 02 forms a certain angle with the top plane of the fiber array 02, so that most of the reflected light of the concave grooves cannot enter the fiber array 02. So usually the fiber array 02 is made as figure 1 The curved shape shown, while the CMOS image sensor array 01 is perpendicular to the top plane of the optical fiber array 02
Therefore, it can be seen that due to the curved shape of the optical fiber array 02, the fingerprint recognition sensor using the CMOS image sensor array is relatively large and cannot be installed in portable devices such as mobile phones.
In addition, the light source 03 is located on one side of the optical fiber array 02, so that the light intensity of the light received at different positions at the bottom of the finger 05 is different, and the light intensity of the light received at a position farther from the light source 03 is weaker, so that the CMOS image sensor array 01 has poor resolution
[0006] In addition, there are other types of photoelectric sensors, but it may be difficult to achieve thinning, especially under the requirements of high resolution. Traditional devices are bulky and cannot be portable, so it is difficult to integrate them into devices such as mobile phones; or although solving thin and light However, it is impossible to realize a large-area array, or to combine other functions, and the process is complicated and the cost is high
[0007] Most of the existing photoelectric sensors can only achieve a single function such as fingerprint recognition. When people apply other functions, they need to develop new products, which increases the cost of research and development

Abstract

The invention provides a photoelectric sensor. The photoelectric sensor comprises a light-sensitive structure, an optical fiber guide plate positioned above the light-sensitive structure, and a backlight positioned below the light-sensitive structure, wherein the light-sensitive structure comprises a substrate and a plurality of pixel units positioned in the substrate; each pixel unit comprises a thin film transistor and a photodiode; the optical fiber guide plate comprises a plurality of optical fiber bundles arranged perpendicular to the direction of the substrate; the aperture of the optical fiber bundles is less than or equal to the width of the pixel units; and the light emitted from the backlight penetrates through the light-sensitive structure and the optical fiber guide plate. The optical fiber guide plate of the photoelectric sensor enables each pixel unit to be capable of more independently detecting the body surface characteristics in the corresponding area above the pixel unit, so that the binding character on reflection rays is improved and the resolution ratio of the photoelectric sensor is increased; and in addition, the optical fiber guide plate comprises the multiple optical fiber bundles arranged perpendicularly, so that the volume of the photoelectric sensor is smaller.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of sensors, in particular to a photoelectric sensor. Background technique [0002] The photoelectric sensor is a key component to realize photoelectric conversion in various photoelectric detection systems. It is a device that converts optical signals (such as infrared, visible and ultraviolet radiation) into electrical signals. Fingerprint recognition as a biometric method has attracted more attention recently, especially its application in mobile payment has brought broad prospects. Applying photoelectric sensors to fingerprint recognition has become one of the current research hotspots. [0003] In the prior art optical fingerprint identification sensors, a CMOS or CCD image sensor array is usually used to collect light signals to realize fingerprint detection. [0004] refer to figure 1 , shows a prior art fingerprint recognition sensor using a CMOS image sensor array. This kind of fingerprint recognition sens...
