    摘要: A fingerprint sensor includes a substrate, a light blocking layer that is on a first surface of the substrate and includes openings in a light blocking mask, and a sensor layer that is on a second surface of the substrate and includes photo sensors. A fingerprint sensing method of the fingerprint sensor includes: storing a calibration image; generating an original image, based on sensing signals from the photo sensors; performing calibration on the original image by utilizing the calibration image; and detecting a fingerprint, based on the calibrated image. The calibration image is generated by synthetizing valid regions extracted from an original calibration image corresponding to the original image.

    摘要: A display device comprises a display panel which comprises scan lines, sensing lines, pixels electrically connected to each of the scan lines, and photo sensors electrically to each of the scan lines and the sensing lines, a scan driver which outputs scan signals to the scan lines according to a scan control signal, a timing controller which outputs the scan control signal to the scan driver, and a readout circuit which receives light sensing signals of the photo sensors from the sensing lines. The timing controller sets a frame frequency of the scan control signal to a first frame frequency in a first mode in which the display panel displays an image. The timing controller sets the frame frequency of the scan control signal to a second frame frequency in a second mode in which the photo sensors sense a fingerprint.

    摘要: A display device includes a fingerprint sensor including a first layer having at least one photo sensor to generate a fingerprint image corresponding to reflected light from a fingerprint contact surface, light emitting elements to transmit light reflected by the fingerprint, and a second layer including pin holes to allow reflected light to be incident upon the at least one photo sensor; and fingerprint detector to receive the fingerprint image from the fingerprint sensor, to extract a first image corresponding to a first region of the fingerprint and a second image corresponding to a second region of the fingerprint, to compare the first and second images to determine similarity, and to perform fingerprint authentication, based on similarity determination, where the fingerprint first region is in contact with the fingerprint contact surface and the fingerprint second region is not in contact with the fingerprint contact surface.
