Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to a display device, and particularly to a display device with a screen fingerprint recognition function and an electronic device comprising the same.

BACKGROUND

A display device with a screen fingerprint recognition function is a popular product in the field of small-sized display devices in recent years. Advantages of the screen fingerprint recognition function are maximization of a display area of a screen of the display device and an increased screen ratio, so that a user can have a better visual experience.

At present, mainstream screen fingerprint recognition technology is that an optical signal emitted by a screen of a display device is reflected by a fingerprint and reaches a light sensor below a fingerprint recognition area, and then the light sensor transmits corresponding fingerprint information to a processor, thereby unlocking a screen. However, due to a service life limitation of organic light emitting diode (OLED) luminescent materials, brightness of the optical signal generated by the screen cannot be too high. Therefore, the optical signal reaching the light sensor for fingerprint recognition is weak, so that the success rate and accuracy of fingerprint recognition are significantly reduced. Furthermore, OLED devices on the fingerprint recognition area are at risk of burning the screen.

Therefore, there is a need to propose a solution to the problems in the prior art.
