    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing light-shielded cameras includes forming a plurality of camera dies by dicing a camera wafer stack including (a) an image sensor wafer having a plurality of image sensors, (b) a cover glass bonded to the image sensor wafer, and (c) a lens wafer bonded to the cover glass and having a plurality of lenses, to form a plurality of camera dies. The method further includes, prior to the step of dicing, (i) from a first side of the image sensor wafer facing away from the cover glass and at least partly covered by an opaque layer, pre-cutting a sensor-cover wafer stack that includes the image sensor wafer and the cover glass, and (ii) depositing an opaque material in the pre-cuts. The method also includes, after the step of dicing, applying an opaque coating to second-side surfaces, of the camera dies, formed by the step of dicing.

    Abstract: A multiple-lens optical fingerprint reader for reading fingerprints through a display has an image sensor integrated circuit with photosensor array(s); a spacer; and multiple lenses in a microlens array, each lens of multiple lenses focuses light arriving at that lens from a finger adjacent the display through the spacer to form an image on associated photosensors on a photosensor array of the integrated circuit. A method of verifying identity of a user includes illuminating a finger of the user with an OLED display; focusing light from the fingerprint through arrayed microlenses onto a photosensor array of an integrated circuit, reading the array to overlapping electronic fingerprint images; extracting features from the overlapping electronic fingerprint images or from a stitched fingerprint image, and comparing the features to features of at least one user in a library of features and associated with one or more fingers of one or more authorized users.

    Abstract: A cavity interposer has a cavity, first bondpads adapted to couple to a chip-type camera cube disposed within a base of the cavity at a first level, the first bondpads coupled through feedthroughs to second bondpads at a base of the interposer at a second level; and third bondpads adapted to couple to a light-emitting diode (LED), the third bondpads at a third level. The third bondpads coupled to fourth bondpads at the base of the interposer at the second level; and the second and fourth bondpads couple to conductors of a cable with the first, second, and third level different. An endoscope optical includes the cavity interposer an LED, and a chip-type camera cube electrically bonded to the first bondpads; the LED is bonded to the third bondpads; and a top of the chip-type camera cube and a top of the LED are at a same level.

    Abstract: A passive speckle-suppressing diffuser includes a microlens array for diffusing a light field originating from one or more coherent light beams, and a diffractive optical element mounted in series with the microlens array and having a pixelated thickness distribution, characterized by a spatial variation across the diffractive optical element, to impose a spatially varying phase shift on the light field. The pixelated thickness distribution may be configured such that the spatially varying phase shift suppresses speckle of the light field while minimizing introduction of distinct diffraction structure. A method for passive speckle-suppressing diffusion a light field originating from one or more coherent light beams may include refracting the light field, through a microlens array, to diffuse the light field, and imposing a spatially varying phase shift on the light field to decohere the light field without introducing any first-order diffraction components deflected beyond angle spread introduced by the microlens array.

    Abstract: A self-illuminating camera includes a camera and an illuminator. The camera includes an image sensor and a first lens of a pair of two identical lenses. The illuminator is adjacent to the camera and includes a light source and a second lens of the pair of two identical lenses. The illuminator has a field of illumination that at least partially overlaps a field of view of the camera.
