The disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a pattern recognition substrate and a display device.
With the rapid development of the information industry, the biometric recognition technology has been increasingly widely used. In particular, different users have different fingerprints, facilitating confirmation of user identity, so the fingerprint recognition technology has been widely used in mobile terminals, smart homes and other fields, to provide security for user information.
The optical fingerprint recognition is one of means to achieve fingerprint recognition. The principle of the optical fingerprint recognition is as follows: when a finger is placed above a display product, the light emitted from the light source included in the display product strikes valleys and ridges of the finger, is reflected by the valleys and ridges of the finger, and then enters a photosensitive device included in the display product. Since the light reflected at the valleys and ridges have different intensities, the photosensitive device generates different electrical signals based on the difference between the above intensities of the reflected light, to realize the fingerprint recognition.

The words such as “inner”, “outer”, “up”, “down” are only used to represent the relative position relationship. When the absolute position of a described object changes, the relative position relationship may also change accordingly.
During the fingerprint recognition process, in order to reduce interference of ambient light, a layer of light filter film is generally added to a light incident side of a photosensitive device to filter out the ambient light after 600 nm, thus increasing the cost of the mask. Inventors found through research that, as shown in
However, when the I layer is thinned, unabsorbed light reflected by the finger may be reflected by a lower electrode (SD2) of the photosensitive device back to the finger touch position above the photosensitive device, and may be reflected again by the finger. Multiple reflections may interfere with the performance of the fingerprint recognition.
In order to alleviate the above technical problem in related art, an embodiment of the disclosure provides a an pattern recognition substrate, as shown in
In the above pattern recognition substrate according to an embodiment of the disclosure, the I-type semiconductor layer cannot completely absorb the fingerprint-reflected light when being thinned (that is, less than the conventional thickness). By setting the first electrode 1021 under the I-type semiconductor layer to include the light-transmitting region L, the fingerprint-reflected light that is not absorbed and converted by the I-type semiconductor layer passes through the light-transmitting region L and irradiates to the light-absorbing layer 103 and is then absorbed, thereby avoiding the fingerprint-reflected light that is not absorbed and converted by the I-type semiconductor layer from being reflected multiple times between the first electrode 1021 and the finger, and thus improving the accuracy of fingerprint recognition.
In some embodiments, the thickness of the I-type semiconductor layer according to the disclosure may be less than 9000 Å, for example, may be 500 Å. Furthermore, a set of data is provided for the pattern recognition substrate of the disclosure and two pattern recognition substrates as contrasts. In the pattern recognition substrate of the disclosure, the thickness of the I-type semiconductor layer is 500 Å, the first electrode 1021 includes the light-transmitting region L, and there is the light-absorbing layer 103 below the first electrode 1021; in the first pattern recognition substrate as a contrast, the thickness of the I-type semiconductor layer is 9000 Å (that can completely convert the fingerprint-reflected light), and the first electrode 1021 does not include the light-transmitting region L; and, in the second pattern recognition substrate as a contrast, the thickness of the I-type semiconductor layer is 500 Å, and the first electrode 1021 does not include the light-transmitting region L. Here, the fingerprint image in the first pattern recognition substrate is shown in
Furthermore, it is worth noting that, as shown in
In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned pattern recognition substrate according to an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
When the openings K are circular, an opening ratio A of the first electrode 1021 satisfies a following relationship:
Here, d is a diameter of a circle, and q is a distance between centers o of two adjacent circles.
When the openings K are square, an opening ratio A of the first electrode 1021 satisfies a following relationship:
Here, d is a side length of a square, and q is a distance between centers o of two adjacent squares.
In some embodiments, in order to effectively reduce the reflection of the fingerprint-reflected light that is not absorbed by the I-type semiconductor layer by the first electrode 102, the aperture ratio and the arrangement of openings need to be reasonably set. Optionally, a value range of the above d is 2 μm≤d≤6 μm, a value range of the above q is 5 μm≤q≤20 μm, and a value range of the aperture ratio A is 0.1≤A≤0.6.

The above content only describes the pattern recognition substrate having the fingerprint recognition function. In some embodiments, the pattern recognition substrate may also have a display function. The above pattern recognition substrate according to an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in
When the pattern recognition substrate according to the disclosure has both the display function and touch function, as shown in
During fingerprint recognition, when the finger F touches the pattern recognition substrate, the light reflected by the finger passes through the gap between the light-emitting devices 118 and reaches the photoelectric conversion layer 1022 of the photosensitive device 102. The I-type semiconductor layer of the photoelectric conversion layer 1022 absorbs a part of the light reflected by the finger, detecting the intensity of the fingerprint-reflected light. Due to different energy of diffusely reflected light downwards at the valleys and ridges, the light intensities detected by the array of the photosensitive device 102 are different, thus obtaining the fingerprint image information. Also, the fingerprint-reflected light that is not absorbed by the I-type semiconductor layer passes through the light-transmitting region L of the first electrode 1021 and is absorbed by the light-absorbing layer 103, avoiding the fingerprint-reflected light that is not absorbed and converted by the I-type semiconductor layer from being reflected multiple times between the first electrode 1021 and the finger, and thus improving the accuracy of fingerprint recognition.
