An optical fingerprint sensor (OFPS) for use with a liquid-crystal display (LCD) panel having a backlight module is positioned under the backlight module and captures an image of a fingerprint sensing area on the LCD panel through an aperture in both a reflector and a metal shield of the backlight module. The OFPS includes a sensor layer, a wafer-level optic layer bonded to the sensor layer and an infrared pass filter (IRPF) coating formed on a substantially flat top surface of the wafer-level optic layer. An OFPS may be formed with a flat top and may include a wafer-level optic layer having one or more lenses to direct light generated by a light source beneath the wafer-level optic layer. The wafer-level lenses may be bonded with the fingerprint scanner. The flat top of the OFPS may be made with an IRPF coating.
