    Abstract: A capacitive fingerprint sensing device for sensing a fingerprint pattern of a finger can comprise a plurality of sensing elements. Each sensing element comprises a protective dielectric top layer to be touched by the finger; a first electrode comprising an optically transparent electrically conductive sensing structure arranged underneath the top layer; fingerprint sensing circuitry connected to the first electrode and configured to provide an analog sensing signal indicative of a distance between the finger and the sensing structure, a second electrode arranged underneath the first electrode; an organic light emitting layer arranged between the first and second electrodes; display element control circuitry connected to the second electrode and configured to control a display element comprising the first and second electrodes and the organic light emitting layer; and a switching mechanism configured to switch the sensing element between a fingerprint sensing mode and a display mode.
