Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and particularly relates to a fingerprint recognition module and a display apparatus.

BACKGROUND

With the rapid development of information industry, the biological recognition technology has been increasingly used. Since fingerprints vary from user to user, user identities can be verified accordingly. Fingerprint recognition technology has been widely used in mobile terminals, smart homes and other fields, so as to ensure security of user information.

Optical Fingerprint Recognition is one of the means used to get fingerprints recognised. A principle of the optical fingerprint recognition is as follows: when a finger is placed on a display product, a light source of the display product emits light to positions of a valley and a ridge of the finger, and the light is reflected by the valley and the ridge of the finger and then is incident on a photosensitive device of the display product. Due to a difference in intensity of light reflected from the positions of the valley and the ridge, the photosensitive device generates different electrical signals according to the difference. This is how fingerprint recognition is achieved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

For making objectives, technical solutions and advantages of embodiments of the disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the disclosure. It should be noted that a size and a shape of each figure in the drawings do not reflect a true scale, but only for illustrating the disclosure. Throughout the drawings, identical or similar reference numerals denote identical or similar elements or elements having identical or similar functions.

Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used herein should have ordinary meanings as understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the disclosure belongs. “First”, “second” and similar words used in the description and claims of the disclosure do not indicate any order, amount or importance, but only for distinguishing different components. “Include”, “comprise”, and other similar words indicate that elements or objects before the word include elements or objects after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. “Inside”, “outside”, “upper”, “lower”, etc. are only used to indicate a relative positional relation. After an absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relation may also change accordingly.

In the related art, a display apparatus for in-screen fingerprint recognition includes a collimating film and a fingerprint recognition module, and the collimating film is bonded to the fingerprint recognition module via optically clear adhesive (OCA). The collimating film includes a single-layer diaphragm having a light transmitting hole and a microlens located at a side of the single-layer diaphragm facing away from the fingerprint recognition module. However, due to limitation of a collimating film technology and a single-layer diaphragm structure, crosstalk of a light path exists in a range of 40°-50°, such that fingerprint image quality under outdoor strong light is reduced, and user experience is influenced. In addition, due to a lens imprinting process, spatial noise such as diagonal exists. Further, a lens is not aligned with a photosensitive device in a fingerprint recognition substrate, such that a moire pattern exists on the lens and the light path, and a diagonal moire pattern is a high challenge to an image iterative signal processing (ISP) algorithm. In addition, at present, the single-layer diaphragm of the collimating film is made of organic resin. The single-layer diaphragm is internally provided with air medium after bonding using the optically clear adhesive. When the collimating film is subjected to testing of temperature reliability, such as double 85 degrees, cold and hot shock, mechanical characteristics of the single-layer diaphragm change due to material heating. In this way, the entire light path and appearance of the collimating film change, resulting in reliability problems.

To solve the technical problems existing in the related art, an embodiment of the disclosure provides a fingerprint recognition module. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the fingerprint recognition module include:

• • a base substrate 101;
  • a photosensitive device layer above the base substrate 101, where the photosensitive device layer includes a plurality of photosensitive devices 102;
  • a bias metal layer 103 on a side of the photosensitive device layer facing away from the base substrate 101;
  • a noise reduction metal layer 104 on a side of the bias metal layer 103 facing away from the photosensitive device layer;
  • a light guide film layer 105 including at least two light shielding layers a arranged in stack, where each of the light shielding layers is provided with light transmitting holes H arranged in an array, the light transmitting holes H in all the light shielding layers a are provided in a one-to-one correspondence manner, orthogonal projections of the light transmitting holes in the one-to-one correspondence manner on the base substrate 101 are at least partially overlapped, the orthogonal projections of the light transmitting holes H correspondingly arranged on the base substrate 101 are located within an orthogonal projection of the photosensitive device 102 on the base substrate 101, and the light shielding layer a close to the photosensitive device layer is disposed in a same layer as at least one of the bias metal layer 103 and the noise reduction metal layer 104; and a shape of the light transmitting holes H may be round or square, etc., which is not limited herein; and
  • a microlens layer on a side of the light guide film layer 105 facing away from the photosensitive device layer, where the microlens layer includes a plurality of microlenses 106, and an orthogonal projections of a microlens 106 on the base substrate 101 covers and is larger than the orthogonal projections of the light transmitting holes H on the base substrate.

In the fingerprint recognition module according to the embodiment of the disclosure, the light shielding layer a close to the photosensitive device layer is arranged in the same layer as at least one of the bias metal layer 103 and the noise reduction metal layer 104, and the light guide film layer 105 including a plurality of light shielding layers a and the microlens 106 are directly integrated on the photosensitive device 102. In this way, problems of large-angle crosstalk, film diagonal/moire pattern and poor reliability in a solution of bonding the collimating film in the related art can be effectively solved, and further accuracy of the recognized fingerprint information in an optical fingerprint recognition process can be improved.

In addition, the light guide film layer 105 and the microlens 106 are directly integrated in the disclosure, such that the optically clear adhesive in the related art is saved. A thickness of the optically clear adhesive is generally greater than 25 μm. Therefore, a thickness of the fingerprint recognition module of the disclosure can be greatly reduced. Specifically, a distance between a surface of a side of the base substrate 101 facing the photosensitive device layer (a top surface of the base substrate 101) and an apex of the microlens 106 is greater than or equal to 30 μm and less than or equal to 50 μm.

In some embodiments, in order to weaken light crosstalk between adjacent light transmitting holes H and obtain a better collimation effect, diameters of the light transmitting holes H correspondingly arranged in all the light shielding layers a may increase sequentially in a direction Y of ascending distance from the photosensitive device layer, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in the fingerprint recognition module according to the embodiment of the disclosure. A collimating hole structure is formed by parts of the light transmitting holes H at the same position of all the light shielding layers in a zone where orthogonal projections of the light transmitting holes H on the base substrate 101 are completely overlapped, which is used to collimate light rays incident to the position at various angles. In this way, the light ray that forms a certain angle (for example, less than or equal to) 10° with a normal perpendicular to a surface of the light guide film layer 105 is capable of passing the collimating hole structure, and the light rays forming an included angle exceeding the angle (for example, greater than) 10° are blocked. A difference between a minimum angle and a maximum angle of the light ray capable of passing the collimating hole structure refers to as a light receiving angle.

In some embodiments, in the fingerprint recognition module according to the embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, orthogonal projections of centers of the light transmitting holes H correspondingly arranged in all the light shielding layers a on the base substrate 101 are overlapped. It is ensured that the collimating hole structure having a better collimation effect may be formed between the light transmitting holes H at the same positions of all the light shielding layers a. During manufacturing, the orthogonal projections of the centers of the light transmitting holes H at the same positions of all the light shielding layers a on the base substrate 101 are completely overlapped as much as possible. However, according to alignment errors of an actual manufacturing process, the centers of the light transmitting holes H at the same positions of all the light shielding layers a may deviate to some extent, and complete overlapping cannot be ensured. That is, partial overlapping possibly occurs.

In some embodiments, in the fingerprint recognition module according to the embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 2-4, the light guide film layer 105 may include a first light shielding layer a1, a first light transmitting layer b1, a second light shielding layer a2, a second light transmitting layer b2, a third light shielding layer a3 and a third light transmitting layer b3 that are sequentially stacked on the photosensitive device layer. The first light shielding layer a1 may function as a field diaphragm, and the first light shielding layer a1 includes first light transmitting holes H1 arranged in an array. The second light shielding layer a2 and the third light shielding layer a3 are capable of preventing light crosstalk, the second light shielding layer a2 includes second light transmitting holes H2 arranged in an array, and the third light shielding layer a3 includes third light transmitting holes H3 arranged in an array. In some embodiments, a diameter of the first light transmitting hole H1, a diameter of the second light transmitting hole H2 and a diameter of the third light transmitting hole H3 gradually increase, and the orthogonal projections of the center of the first light transmitting hole H1, the center of the second light transmitting hole H2 and the center of the third light transmitting hole H3 on the base substrate 101 are approximately overlapped.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the fingerprint recognition module includes a display zone AA and a light shielding zone BB. In the related art, a pattern of the noise reduction metal layer 104 is generally located in the light shielding zone BB, a pattern of the bias metal layer 103 is generally located in the display zone AA. The light transmitting holes H of the disclosure is located in the display zone AA. Therefore, in the fingerprint recognition module according to the embodiment of the disclosure, in order to reduce the number of film layers, the first light shielding layer a1 may be reused as the bias metal layer 103 as shown in FIG. 2; in some embodiments, the first light shielding layer a1 and the noise reduction metal layer 104 are arranged in the same layer and made of the same material as shown in FIG. 3; in some embodiments, the first light shielding layer a1 is reused as the bias metal layer 103, and the second light shielding layer a2 and the noise reduction metal layer 104 are arranged in the same layer and made of the same material as shown in FIG. 4, which is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the microlens 106 may be manufactured on the third light transmitting layer b3 with a step size of 2.5 μm using a hot reflux process. According to current process capability, a height h of the microlens 106 ranges from 1 μm to 10 μm, and an aperture W₃ of the microlens ranges from 10 μm to 30 μm, as shown in FIG. 5. A diameter W₀ of the first light transmitting holes H1 ranges from 2 μm to 10 μm, a diameter W₁ of the second light transmitting holes H2 ranges from 4 μm to 15 μm, and a diameter W₂ of the third light transmitting holes H3 ranges from 6 μm to 18 μm. A thickness h₁ of the first light transmitting layer b1 ranges from 1 μm to 10 μm, a thickness h₂ of the second light transmitting layer b2 ranges from 1 μm to 5 μm, a thickness h₃ of the third light transmitting layer b3 ranges from 1 μm to 10 μm, a thickness h_x1 of the second light shielding layer a2 ranges from 1 μm to 2 μm, and a thickness h_x2 of the third light shielding layer a3 ranges from 1 μm to 2 μm.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, in order to achieve a collimation function, interference of stray light has to be avoided, that is, a relation between the above parameters needs to be rationally controlled as follows:

• • a distance L between a top surface of the microlens 106 and the first light shielding layer a1 satisfies the following formulas:

$\begin{array}{cc}L=h+h_1+h_2+h_3+h_{x1}+h_{x2};\mathrm{and}& \left(1\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}L=\left[W_3^2/\left(8h\right)+h/2\right]*K,& \left(2\right)\end{array}$

• • • where K denotes a specific coefficient related to the microlens 106;
  • the diameter W₀ of the first light transmitting holes H1 satisfies the following condition:

$W_0=L*\tan \theta ;$

• • • where θ denotes the light receiving angle, and θ ranges from 1° to 10°:
  • the light guide film layer 105 and the microlens 106 satisfy the following relational expression:

$\begin{array}{c}\left(3\right)\end{array}$ $\left(W_1-W_0\right)/\left(2h_1\right)\le \left(W_2-W_1\right)/\left[2\left(h_2+h_{x1}\right)\right]\le \left(W_3-W_2\right)/\left[2\left(h_3+h_{x2}\right)\right].$

According to the disclosure, the light guide film layer 105 and microlens 106 are designed according to manufacturing capability of a production line. Design parameters are as follows: the aperture W₃ of the microlens 106 is 16 μm, an arch height h of the microlens 106 is 4 μm, the diameter W₀ of the first light transmitting holes H1 in the first light shielding layer a1 is 2.5 μm, the diameter W₁ of the second light transmitting holes H2 in the second light shielding layer a2 is 6.6 μm, and the diameter W₂ of the third light transmitting holes H3 in the third light shielding layer a3 is 10.7 μm; and the thickness h₁ of the first light transmitting layer b1 is 6.44 μm, the thickness h₂ of the second light transmitting layer b2 is 3.7 μm, the thickness h₃ of the third light transmitting layer b3 is 6 μm, the thickness h_x1 of the second light shielding layer a2 is 1 μm, and the thickness h_x2 of the third light shielding layer a3 is 1 μm.

An optical test is conducted on the light guide film layer 105 and the microlenses 106 with the above design parameters, and the results are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. As may be seen from FIG. 6, the light guide film layer 105 and the microlens 106 with the above design parameters may allow light rays at 0°-10° to pass, each beam of light rays filtered may accurately correspond to a valley and a ridge of a fingerprint in a one-to-one correspondence manner, crosstalk from other stray light does not occur, and accurate fingerprint recognition may be achieved.

In some embodiments, in the fingerprint recognition module according to the embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 1-4 and 8-11, each of the photosensitive devices 102 includes at least one independent photosensitive sub-device S, and the photosensitive sub-device S includes a first electrode 1021, a photoelectric conversion layer 1022 and a second electrode 1023 that are stacked. The photosensitive sub-devices S and the microlenses 106 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence manner, and orthogonal projections of the photoelectric conversion layers 1022 on the base substrate 101 are located within orthogonal projections of the microlenses 106 correspondingly arranged on the base substrate 101, such that all the light reflected by fingerprints and condensed by the microlens 106 is absorbed by the corresponding photoelectric conversion layer 1022, and further a signal amount and a signal-to-noise ratio are both increased.

Specifically, FIG. 1 shows that each photosensitive device 102 includes one photosensitive sub-device S, and FIG. 8 shows that each photosensitive device 102 includes four photosensitive sub-devices S. In some embodiments, each photosensitive device 102 may further include nine photosensitive sub-devices S as shown in FIG. 12; and in some embodiments, each photosensitive device 102 may further include sixteen photosensitive sub-devices S as shown in FIG. 13. Certainly, there may be other numbers of the photosensitive sub-devices S included in each photosensitive device 102, which is not limited herein. Accordingly, in FIGS. 1, 8, 12 and 13, each photosensitive device 102 corresponds to one, four, nine and sixteen microlenses 106, separately. In some embodiments, a constant lens space exists in a manufacturing process of the microlens 106, that is, a distance between centers of two adjacent microlenses 106 is fixed.

FIGS. 14 and 15 show optical test results when one photosensitive device 102 corresponds to one microlens 106 as shown in FIG. 1. FIGS. 16 and 17 show optical test results when one photosensitive device 102 corresponds to four microlenses 106 as shown in FIG. 8. FIGS. 18 and 19 show optical test results when one photosensitive device 102 corresponds to nine microlenses 106 as shown in FIG. 12. FIGS. 20 and 21 show optical test results when one photosensitive device 102 corresponds to sixteen microlenses 106 as shown in FIG. 13. Curves from top to bottom in FIG. 22 sequentially represent relations between light receiving angles and transmittances of collimating hole structures in display substrates shown in FIGS. 1, 8, 12 and 13. As may be seen from FIGS. 14-22, under the condition of the same light receiving angle) (0°-10°), central transmittances of the collimating hole structures in the display substrates shown in FIGS. 1, 8, 12 and 13 decrease sequentially, and areas surrounded by the whole curves and abscissae decrease sequentially.

It should be understood that one photosensitive device 102 of the disclosure may further include a plurality of photosensitive sub-devices S and each of the photosensitive sub-devices S is arranged corresponding to one microlens 106 as shown in FIGS. 40-46.

Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the disclosure provides a display apparatus. As shown in FIG. 47, the display apparatus includes the fingerprint recognition module 01 according to the embodiment of the disclosure and a display module 02 located above the fingerprint recognition module 01. The display module 02 is fixed to the fingerprint recognition module 01 via optically clear adhesive 03. A problem solving principle of the display apparatus is similar to a problem solving principle of the fingerprint recognition module, so reference may be made to implementation of the fingerprint recognition module according to the embodiment of the disclosure for implementation of the display apparatus according to the embodiment of the disclosure, which will not be repeated herein.

In some embodiments, in the display apparatus according to the embodiment of the disclosure, an orthogonal projection of the fingerprint recognition module 01 on a plane where the display apparatus is located and an orthogonal projection of the display module 02 on the plane where the display apparatus is located are approximately overlapped as shown in FIG. 47. The optically clear adhesive 03 is located in a frame zone of the display module 01. In this way, an air gap exists between the fingerprint recognition module 01 and the display module 02, such that a light path propagation direction of light reflected by a finger is kept unchanged advantageously, and in this case, full-screen fingerprint recognition can be achieved.

In some embodiments, in the display apparatus according to the embodiment of the disclosure, the display module 02 may include an organic electroluminescent display panel 201, a heat dissipation film 202 arranged on a side of a display surface facing away from the organic electroluminescent display panel 201, and a middle frame 203 located on a side of the heat dissipation film 202 facing away from the organic electroluminescent display panel 201 as shown in FIG. 48. The heat dissipation film 202 includes a hollow structure. The fingerprint recognition module 01 is arranged in the hollow structure, and the fingerprint recognition module 01 is fixed to the middle frame 203 via the optically clear adhesive 03. In this way, local fingerprint recognition is achieved in a zone where the hollow structure is located.

In some embodiments, the heat dissipation film 202 may include graphite in contact with the organic electroluminescent display panel 201, foam in contact with the middle frame 203, and copper foil located between the graphite and the foam. The organic electroluminescent display panel 201 includes: a protection cover plate, optically clear adhesive, a polarizer, an encapsulation layer, a cathode, a luminescent functional layer, an anode and a driving back plate that are sequentially arranged from top to bottom.

During fingerprint recognition, when a finger touches the organic electroluminescent display panel 201, a light guide film layer 105 and a microlens 106 may filter approximately collimated light having a small angle, such that the light reaches a photoelectric conversion layer 1022 of the lower photosensitive device 102. The photoelectric conversion layer 1022 may detect an intensity of light reflected by a fingerprint. Downward diffuse reflection lights from a valley and a ridge have different energy, and a light intensity detected by an array of photosensitive devices 102 is different, such that fingerprint image information is obtained.

In this way, if these modifications and variations of the embodiments of the disclosure fall within the scope of the claims of the disclosure and their equivalent technologies, the disclosure is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
