    摘要: A fingerprint reading system is provided, which is capable of enhancing versatility when actually used, increasing productivity and reducing costs. An illumination device emits the light from a rear surface side of an active matrix liquid crystal cell. A light guiding plate provided on a surface side of the active matrix liquid crystal cell, transmits the light coming from the rear surface side and deflects the light coming from the surface side toward one side end surface. A light receiving device provided on the side of one side surface of the light guiding plate receives the light exiting from this one side surface. A drive circuit makes the active matrix liquid crystal cell pinpoint-irradiate a fingerprint in contact with the light guiding plate by pinpointing with the light emitted from the illumination device and makes the light receiving device pinpoint-receive the light reflected by the fingerpoint, thereby obtaining an image of the fingerprint.

    摘要: A fingerprint reading system is provided with enhanced versatility and reduced cost. The fingerprint reading sensor includes a group of first electrodes arranged in a plurality of lines extending in a first direction, a group of second electrodes arranged in a plurality of lines extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction above the first electrode group through an interlayer insulating film, and a surface protective film formed of a dielectric material provided on the second electrode group. Drive circuits detect electrostatic capacity between each of the electrodes and a finger touching the surface protective film by sequentially applying a predetermined voltage to both groups of electrodes and measuring a change in the electrostatic capacity at each point where a second electrode crosses over a first electrode.

    摘要: To eliminate a residual image due to residual charge in an image sensor circuit and provide an effective bright-time output, the image sensor is provided with a reset switch connected to a photodiode. After the potential of the photodiode is held through a first amplifier in two holding circuits as an image signal and an initial signal, the initial signal and the image signal are sequentially output through a second amplifier. By resetting the photodiode to a desired potential to produce an initial signal, a residual image can be eliminated.

    摘要: A light receiving element is provided with a phototransistor and a light receiving MOS diode proximate thereto and having a gate electrode covering a portion of the base region of the phototransistor. The gate electrode permits transmission of a portion of received light. The light receiving MOS diode forms an inversion layer in a substrate adjacent the base of a phototransistor during the time photo charges are stored, and generated photo charges are stored in the inversion region and the base region of the phototransistor. During the storage state, the potential of the inversion region and the base region of the phototransistor is limited, so that the intensity of an electric field applied to an insulating film between the electrode and the semiconductor substrate is 0.7 MV/cm or less. Alternatively, the potential of the electrode in a waiting state is fixed or made floating, so that an electric field is not applied, and recombination at the surface of the semiconductor substrate is made stable.
