FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION SENSOR
First Claim
1. A fingerprint recognition sensor comprising:
- a backlight unit including a base layer positioned on one surface of a substrate and including a transparent material, and a light source irradiating light to the inside of the base layer on one side of the base layer, in which light of which an incident angle on a surface facing the substrate is larger than a critical angle in the light irradiated from the light source is transmitted toward the substrate;
a cover layer spaced apart from the substrate and facing the other surface of the substrate;
multiple sensor pixels defined by multiple scan lines and multiple data readout lines on the other surface of the substrate and positioned between the substrate and the cover layer; and
multiple photo sensors positioned in the respective sensor pixels and sensing the light transmitted from the base layer toward the substrate and total-reflected on a surface contacting a fingerprint of a user on the cover layer.
