Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the present embodiment provides a fingerprint identification panel 100, which includes a screen body 110 and a fingerprint identification device 120 disposed on the screen body 110. Among them, the fingerprint recognition device 120 may include: a pressure changing layer 121, a sensing receiving layer 122 and a fingerprint identification module. The compression layer 121 is made of a material having elasticity and capable of conducting electricity; the sensing receiving layer 122 is arranged opposite to the buckling layer 121, and a buckling gap is formed between the sensing receiving layer 122 and the buckling layer 121 and is used for accommodating the deformation of the buckling layer 121 towards the sensing receiving layer 122 when being pressed; the sensing receiving layer 122 and the pressure changing layer 121 are electrically connected with a fingerprint identification module, and the fingerprint identification module is used for determining the electric field distribution between the sensing receiving layer 122 and the pressure changing layer 121 according to the deformation of the pressure changing layer 121 when being pressed.
Illustratively, the screen body may be an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting diode) screen body. For example: the screen body 110 may include a substrate and an encapsulation layer, the substrate and the encapsulation layer may form an enclosed space, an organic light emitting unit is disposed in the enclosed space, the organic light emitting unit includes an anode, an organic light emitting layer, a cathode, and other film layers, the anode and the cathode are led out by a lead at a non-light emitting region, and are bonded to an Integrated Circuit (IC) or a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC). In some examples, a touch layer may be further disposed on the encapsulation layer, and the touch layer may be used for performing input by a finger, a stylus pen, or the like, so as to implement human-computer interaction.
The surface of the screen body 110 facing away from the user may be provided with a fingerprint recognition device 120. The pressure-variable layer 121 of the fingerprint identification device 120 may be made of a material having elasticity and being capable of conducting electricity, so that when a fingerprint presses the screen body 110, a pressure applied by a user may be transmitted to the pressure-variable layer 121 through the screen body 110, and the pressure-variable layer 121 is deformed accordingly. Among different fingerprint lines (simply referred to as fingerprints), the distribution of fingerprint peaks 201 and fingerprint valleys 202 is different; that is, the distribution area of the fingerprint ridges 201 and the distribution area of the fingerprint valleys 202 are different among different fingerprints. When the piezoelectric layer 121 is compressed, different fingerprints will also cause the piezoelectric layer 121 to deform differently.
In some examples, the buckling layer 121 may be made of graphene aerogel, that is, the material having elasticity (high rebound elasticity) and capable of conducting electricity may include graphene aerogel, so that the buckling layer 121 has good rebound elasticity, light transmittance and light weight.
Certainly, the material used for the pressure-variable layer 121 is not limited to this, and the elastic and conductive material may also include a polymer material and a conductive material having elasticity, so that not only can the good elasticity of the polymer material be maintained, but also when the pressure-variable layer 121 made of a high-resilience material is deformed under pressure, the electrical signal between the pressure-variable layer 121 and the sensing-receiving layer 122 can be correspondingly changed, that is, the electric field distribution between the sensing-receiving layer 122 and the pressure-variable layer 121 can also be changed.
In some examples, the dilatant layer 121 may be a plate-shaped structure, and the plate-shaped dilatant layer 121 may be fixed to the screen body 110 by bonding with an optical cement; of course, the compressive layer 121 may be formed on the screen body 110 by other processes.
In some examples, dilatant layer 121 may be disposed on at least a portion of a surface of screen body 110; that is, the pressure-change layer 121 may cover at least a portion of the surface of the screen body 110; that is, at least a portion of the surface of the screen body 110 forms a fingerprint recognition area 110a, and the buckling layer 121 is disposed in the fingerprint recognition area 110 a. In this embodiment, the setting position of the fingerprint identification area 110a is not specifically limited, and may be specifically set according to actual needs; for example: the fingerprint recognition area 110a may be disposed in the middle or the lower portion of the screen body 110. In this embodiment, the size of the area of the fingerprint identification area 110a is not specifically limited, and may be specifically set according to actual needs; for example: the area of the fingerprint identification region 110a may be half of the surface area of the screen body 110.
In this embodiment, the shape of the buckling layer 121 may be adapted to the shape of the fingerprint identification area 110 a. In some examples, when the fingerprint identification area 110a is circular, the compression layer 121 may also be a circular plate; the compression layer 121 may also be disposed concentrically with the fingerprint identification region 110 a. In other examples, when the fingerprint identification area 110a is rectangular, the buckling layer 121 may be a rectangular plate body; the center of the pressure changing layer 121 may also coincide with the center of the fingerprint identification area 110a to ensure the accuracy of fingerprint identification. The surface of the pressure variable layer 121 facing the screen body 110 may have an area greater than or equal to the area of the fingerprint identification region 110 a.
The side of the pressure changing layer 121 away from the screen body 110 is provided with a sensing receiving layer 122. Wherein, it can be connected with fingerprint identification module to press change layer 121 and sensing receiving layer 122, and fingerprint identification module can be connected with the power.
The sensing receiving layer 122 is arranged opposite to the pressure variable layer 121, and the shape of the sensing receiving layer 122 can be matched with that of the pressure variable layer 121 so as to ensure the accuracy of fingerprint identification. In some examples, dilatant layer 121 is rectangular, sense receiving layer 122 is also rectangular, and the center of sense receiving layer 122 coincides with the center of dilatant layer 121. In other examples, dilatant layer 121 is circular, sense receiving layer 122 is also circular, and sense receiving layer 122 is disposed concentrically with dilatant layer 121.
The orthographic projection of the pressure variable layer 121 on the screen body 110 is positioned in the orthographic projection of the sensing receiving layer 122 on the screen body 110, so that the accuracy of fingerprint identification is improved. That is, when the surface of the sensing-receiving layer 122 facing the piezoelectric layer 121 is a first surface, the orthographic projection of the piezoelectric layer 121 on the first surface is located within the first surface.
In some examples, the area of the surface of the sense-receiving layer 122 facing the crush-layer 121 is equal to the area of the surface of the crush-layer 121 facing the sense-receiving layer 122, i.e., the sense-receiving layer 122 may have the same size as the crush-layer 121. In other examples, the area of the surface of the sensing-receiving layer 122 facing the crush layer 121 may be larger than the area of the surface of the crush layer 121 facing the sensing-receiving layer 122.
The pressure-variable layer 121 and the sensing receiving layer 122 are further arranged at intervals, so that a certain pressure-variable gap is formed between the sensing receiving layer 122 and the pressure-variable layer 121, and the pressure-variable gap is used for accommodating deformation of the pressure-variable layer 121 towards the sensing receiving layer 122 when being pressed. When the piezoelectric layer 121 is deformed by pressing, the piezoelectric gap between the sensor receiving layer 122 in a partial region of the piezoelectric layer 121 changes, so that an electrical signal between the partial region of the piezoelectric layer 121 and the sensor receiving layer 122 changes, that is, the electric field distribution between the sensor receiving layer 122 and the piezoelectric layer 121 changes.
The distribution areas of the fingerprint peaks 201 and the distribution areas of the fingerprint valleys 202 are different among different fingerprints. When the piezoelectric layer 121 is pressed, different fingerprints also cause different deformations of the piezoelectric layer 121, and thus different areas of changes of electrical signals between the piezoelectric layer 121 and the sensing layer 122, that is, different electric field distributions between the sensing layer 122 and the piezoelectric layer 121. Therefore, by detecting the deformation of the piezoelectric layer 121, the deformation is converted into a corresponding electrical signal, and the subsequent fingerprint identification module acquires or identifies the fingerprint by processing and analyzing the electrical signal.
Wherein the compression layer 12 is not compressed when the compression layer 121 is not compressed, that is, the compression layer 121 is not deformed1 and the sensing reception layer 122 may be arranged in parallel, and at this time, the dilatant gap between the dilatant layer 121 and the sensing reception layer 122 may be an initial dilatant gap L1。
In some examples, an initial buckling gap L between buckling layer 121 and sensing receptive layer 1221May be larger than the maximum distance L between the fingerprint peak 201 and the fingerprint valley 202 in the fingerprint2So that the sensing receiving layer 122 can accurately collect the change of the electrical signal between the sensing receiving layer 122 and the voltage change layer 121, thereby improving the accuracy of fingerprint identification. Wherein the sensing reception layer 122 may be formed of a force-sensitive sensor or a pressure sensor.
For example, the sensing reception layer 122 may include a base 122a, a plurality of uniformly distributed acquisition units 122b are disposed on the base 122a, the acquisition units 122b may be made of a conductive material, and adjacent acquisition units 122b are disposed in an insulating manner; each acquisition unit 122b is used for acquiring an electric signal of a corresponding area, and the fingerprint identification module determines the electric field distribution between the sensing receiving layer 122 and the voltage change layer 121 according to the received electric signals of the plurality of acquisition units 122 b.
For example: when there is the fingerprint to press screen body 110, under the effect of fingerprint peak 201, press and become layer 121 a plurality of regions all can take place corresponding deformation to press and become the clearance also can change to press and become between the region that the deformation takes place for press and become layer 121 and corresponding collection unit 122b, and then lead to press to become the electric signal between the region that deformation takes place for press and become layer 121 and corresponding collection unit 122b and change, also the electric field distribution that also is between sensing receiving layer 122 and press and become layer 121 will change.
For different fingerprints, under the action of the fingerprint peaks 201, deformation areas of the dilatant layer 121 are different, so that areas where the dilatant gap changes are different, that is, areas where electrical signals change are different, that is, electric field distribution between the sensing receiving layer 122 and the dilatant layer 121 is different. From this, fingerprint identification module can realize the collection or the discernment to the fingerprint according to the electric field distribution of the fingerprint of pressing the screen.
The following will not exemplify the functions and implementation processes of the fingerprint recognition module by taking the mobile phone provided with the fingerprint recognition panel 100 as an example.
In some examples, when the mobile phone needs to collect and store a fingerprint, after the fingerprint identification device 120 determines the electric field distribution of the current fingerprint (the fingerprint currently pressing the screen), the fingerprint identification module may be configured to store the electric field distribution of the current fingerprint. The stored fingerprint may be an authorized fingerprint of the mobile phone.
In some examples, when the mobile phone identifies a fingerprint, after the fingerprint identification device 120 determines the electric field distribution of the current fingerprint, the fingerprint identification module may be configured to match the electric field distribution with a pre-stored electric field distribution, and determine whether the currently identified fingerprint is an authorized fingerprint according to a matching result; if the currently identified fingerprint is determined to be an authorized fingerprint, allowing the mobile phone to be further operated; and if the currently identified fingerprint is not the authorized fingerprint, further operation on the mobile phone is forbidden or the mobile phone is warned.
Of course, the function of the fingerprint recognition module is not limited thereto, and the embodiment is only illustrated here.
Optionally, the fingerprint recognition device 120 further includes a connection part 123 made of an insulating material disposed between the pressure-changing layer 121 and the sensing reception layer 122 to connect the pressure-changing layer 121 with the sensing reception layer 122 through the connection part 123; the dilatant gap is located in the region surrounded by the connecting portion 123, the dilatant layer 121, and the sensor receiving layer 122.
In this embodiment, the pressure-changing layer 121 and the sensing receiving layer 122 are connected by the connecting portion 123, so that the pressure-changing layer 121, the sensing receiving layer 122 and the connecting portion 123 can be connected to form an assembly, and then the assembly is assembled with the screen body 110.
Of course, the sensing reception layer 122 may also be fixed by other components, for example, the sensing reception layer 122 may also be fixedly connected with the screen body 110 by other components; it is sufficient that the fixation of the sensing reception layer 122 can be achieved and an initial dilatant gap between the sensing reception layer 122 and the dilatant layer 121 is ensured.
In some examples, the connecting portion 123 is disposed near an edge of the piezoelectric layer 121, and the connecting portion 123 forms a closed ring shape, that is, the connecting portion 123 extends along a circumferential direction of an outer edge of the piezoelectric layer 121, that is, the piezoelectric layer 121, the connecting portion 123 and the sensing-receiving layer 122 enclose a closed space. Of course, the connecting portions 123 may also be a plurality of connecting plates or connecting columns that are spaced and uniformly distributed along the edge of the dilatant layer 121, as long as the purpose of connecting the sensing receiving layer 122 and the dilatant layer 121 can be achieved, and an initial dilatant gap between the sensing receiving layer 122 and the dilatant layer 121 is ensured.
In this embodiment, the connecting portion 123 is disposed at the edge of the pressure-variable layer 121, so that the connecting portion 123 does not interfere with the deformation of the pressure-variable layer 121, and the accuracy of fingerprint identification can be ensured.
Wherein the connection portion 123 may be bonded to the dilatant layer 121, or the connection portion 123 may be formed on the dilatant layer 121 through another process. The connection part 123 may be adhered to the sensing reception layer 122, or the connection part 123 may be formed on the sensing reception layer 122 through another process.
In addition, when the area of the dilatant layer 121 is relatively large, a plurality of support posts may be disposed between the dilatant layer 121 and the sensing reception layer 122 to ensure that the dilatant gap between the dilatant layer 121 and the sensing reception layer 122 is stable when the dilatant layer 121 is not stressed. The connection manner between the supporting column and the pressure-changing layer 121 and the sensing receiving layer 122 can be similar to that of the connection portion 123, and is not described herein again.
The fingerprint identification panel 100 provided by this embodiment, by providing the pressure-variable layer 121 made of a material having elasticity and capable of conducting electricity, by providing the sensing reception layer 122 opposite to the pressure-variable layer 121 and disposed at an interval, so that a pressure-variable gap for accommodating deformation of the pressure-variable layer 121 toward the sensing reception layer 122 when being pressed is provided between the pressure-variable layer 121 and the sensing reception layer 122, and by providing the fingerprint identification module electrically connected to the sensing reception layer 122 and the pressure-variable layer 121, the fingerprint identification module can determine the electric field distribution between the sensing reception layer 122 and the pressure-variable layer 121 according to the deformation of the pressure-variable layer 121 when being pressed, and further realize identification or collection of a current fingerprint according to the determined electric field distribution. Therefore, the fingerprint identification device does not need to identify the fingerprint by using the energy difference of the light reflected by the fingerprint wave crests and the fingerprint wave troughs, has no requirement on the light transmittance of the screen body 110, is not influenced by the thickness of the screen body 110, does not influence the pixel distribution in the screen body 110, and is favorable for improving the resolution of the screen body 110.
In addition, the present embodiment further provides a fingerprint identification device 120, and the structure, function and implementation process of the fingerprint identification device 120 are the same as those described above, and are not described herein again.
