Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in an embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device includes a liquid crystal display 1 and a biometric feature detection module 2 disposed below the liquid crystal display 1. The liquid crystal display 1 comprises a backlight module 10 and a liquid crystal display panel 11, wherein the backlight module 10 is arranged below the liquid crystal display panel 11. The biometric detection module 2 is adjacent to the backlight module 10. The biometric detection module 2 is at least partially disposed under the backlight module 10. The biometric characteristic detection module 2 can transmit and/or receive detection light beams through the backlight module 10 and the liquid crystal display panel 11 of the liquid crystal display 1. The biometric detection module 2 can receive a detection light beam reflected by an external object through the backlight module 10. The detection light beam is emitted to an external object by the biological characteristic detection module or other light sources, or the detection light beam is emitted by the external object and can be used for biological characteristic detection and identification of the external object.

The biometric detection module 2 comprises a transmitting unit 21 and a receiving unit 22. The transmitting unit 21 and the receiving unit 22 may be separate chip units or integrated into one chip unit, and the transmitting unit 21 and the receiving unit 22 are only schematically shown in fig. 1 and do not represent any limitation of the shape, structure and positional relationship between the transmitting unit 21 and the receiving unit 22.

In the embodiment and the modified embodiment of the present invention, the receiving unit 22 may be disposed below the backlight module 10; the emitting unit 21 is disposed below the backlight module 10, or disposed at a side of the backlight module, or integrated in the backlight module 10, or disposed above the backlight module 10. For example, but not limited to, the emitting unit 21 and the backlight module 10 are disposed at a distance from or closely beside the backlight module 10. The side direction includes, but is not limited to, a side direction, or a side direction, where the side direction is understood to mean that at least one projection exists on the liquid crystal display panel 11, and at least a part of the projection and the backlight module do not overlap in the projection direction.

In the embodiment and the modified embodiment of the present invention, the detection light beam emitted by the emitting unit 21 can be reflected by an external object (for example, a finger or a face) and then received by the receiving unit 22 through the backlight module 10.

In a further embodiment, when the biometric feature detection module 2 is used for fingerprint detection and identification, the transmitting unit 21 and the receiving unit 22 are both disposed below the backlight module 10.

In a further embodiment, when the biometric feature detection module 2 is used for face detection and recognition, the transmitting unit 21 is disposed on the side or above the backlight module, or the transmitting unit is integrated in the backlight module; the receiving unit 22 is disposed under the backlight module 10.

The biometric detection module 2 is capable of emitting and/or receiving a detection light beam through the backlight module 10. The emitting unit 21 can emit a detection beam to an external object through the backlight module 10 or not emit a detection beam to an external object through the backlight module 10, and the receiving unit 22 can receive the detection beam reflected by the external object through the backlight module 10. The receiving unit 22 is also capable of receiving other light beams emitted and/or reflected by an external object through the backlight module 10. The diffusion effect of the backlight module 10 on the backlight light beam is greater than the diffusion effect on the detection light beam. The detection beam can be used for detection and identification of biometric information of an external object.

For convenience of description and clarity of understanding, the emitting unit 21 can be used to emit the first detection light beam 101, and the first detection light beam 101 can be emitted to the outside through the liquid crystal display 1. The receiving unit 22 can be used to receive a second detection light beam 102, and the second detection light beam 102 can include a light beam that is transmitted through the liquid crystal display 1 to the receiving unit 22. For example: the second detection beam 102 may include the first detection beam 101, which reaches the receiving unit 22 after passing through the liquid crystal display panel 11 and the backlight module 10 in the reflected light reflected by the external object. In this case, the second detection beam 102 is substantially a reflected beam of the first detection beam 101 on an external object. The biometric detection module 2 can obtain two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional image information or biometric information of an external object by the emitting unit 21 emitting the first detection light beam 101 and the receiving unit 22 receiving the second detection light beam 102. The external object may be a finger, a face, an iris or other object with recognizable biometric features of the user.

Furthermore, the second detection beam 102 may also comprise other beams emitted and/or reflected by external objects instead of the reflected beam of the first detection beam 101.

The biometric detection module 2 can obtain two-dimensional image information or biometric information of the external object through the second light beam 102 reflected or emitted by the external object. The biometric detection module 2 may further comprise a processor (not shown) capable of calculating the displacement of the second light beam 102 with respect to the first light beam 101 to obtain depth information of the external object. Further, the processor also stores the biological feature information data in advance, and the processor can realize the biological feature detection and identification of the external object by comparing the obtained two-dimensional information and/or depth information of the external object with the biological feature information data stored in advance, such as but not limited to: fingerprint recognition, face recognition, iris recognition, and the like.

By detecting and identifying the biological characteristics of the external object, the biological characteristic detection module 2 can be applied to various products and application scenes such as locking or unlocking of an electronic device (such as a mobile phone), online payment service verification, identity verification of a financial system or a public security system, passage verification of an access control system and the like.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the backlight module 10 includes a reflective sheet 110, a light guide plate 120 disposed on the reflective sheet, a backlight 140 disposed on one side of the light guide plate, and an optical sheet 130 disposed on the light guide plate 120. The backlight 150 is used for emitting a backlight beam, and the light guide plate 120 guides the backlight beam into the optical sheet 130, and specifically, the backlight beam enters the optical sheet 130 from an exit surface of the light guide plate 120 (a surface of the light guide plate 120 adjacent to the lower diffusion sheet 131 in fig. 2). The reflective sheet 110 can be used to reflect the backlight beam emitted from the backlight source 140 and emitted from the bottom surface of the light guide plate 12 back to the light guide plate 120 and allow the detection beams (the first detection beam 101 and the second detection beam 102) to directly transmit through, the light guide plate 120 includes a light exit surface (not numbered) adjacent to the optical sheet 130, and the light guide plate 120 is used to enable the backlight beam entering from the side surface thereof to exit from the light exit surface and enter the optical sheet 130. The reflective sheet 110 and the biometric detection module 2 are disposed closely or at intervals, and the biometric detection module 2 is disposed at least partially under the reflective sheet 1110.

In the embodiments and variations, the optical sheet 130 may include one or more Diffusion sheets (DF), or one or more Brightness Enhancement Films (BEF), or a combination of the Diffusion sheets and the Brightness Enhancement films. For example, the optical sheet 130 may include a lower diffusion sheet, a lower brightness enhancement sheet and an upper brightness enhancement sheet sequentially arranged from bottom to top; or the optical sheet 130 includes a lower diffusion sheet, a lower brightness enhancement sheet, an upper diffusion sheet and an upper brightness enhancement sheet, which are sequentially disposed from bottom to top. The structure and composition of the optical sheet 130 are merely schematically illustrated in the present specification and the drawings, and are not limited thereto.

In this embodiment, the optical sheet 130 includes a lower diffusion sheet 131, a lower brightness enhancement sheet 132, an upper diffusion sheet 133 and an upper brightness enhancement sheet 134, which are sequentially disposed from bottom to top. The lower diffusion sheet 131 is disposed in close contact with the light guide plate 120. The lower and upper diffusion sheets 131 and 133 can be used to diffuse the backlight beam, and the lower and upper brightness enhancement sheets 132 and 134 can be used to converge the backlight beam and enhance the brightness of the beam within a viewing angle.

Therefore, the optical sheets 130 can uniformly mix and condense the backlight beam from the light guide plate 120, thereby improving uniformity and brightness within a viewing angle of the backlight beam exiting to the liquid crystal display panel 11.

The backlight 140 includes a light emitting unit 141. The light emitting unit 141 may be disposed on one circuit board 142. The light emitting unit 142 may be a Light Emitting Diode (LED), and the light emitting unit 142 can be used for a backlight beam. The backlight beam may be visible light, such as white light, or monochromatic light, etc. In some embodiments, the backlight beam may also be invisible light.

For example, in a modified embodiment of this embodiment, the lower diffusion sheet 131 can change the wavelength of a light beam partially entering the lower diffusion sheet 131 and transmit the light beam through the lower diffusion sheet 131, and allow a part of the light beam partially entering the lower diffusion sheet 131 to directly transmit the light beam. For example: the diffusion sheet 131 can change a backlight beam of a shorter wavelength into a backlight beam having a different longer wavelength. At this time, the backlight 140 can emit a backlight beam of blue light and enter the lower diffusion sheet 131 through the light guide plate 120, wherein a part of the blue light can be converted into green light and red light by the lower diffusion sheet 131, and another part of the blue light can be mixed with the green light and the red light into white light. The lower brightness enhancement film 132, the upper diffusion film 133 and the upper brightness enhancement film 134 can further uniformly mix and converge the backlight beams with different wavelengths transmitted through the lower diffusion film 131 to form white light, and provide the white light to the liquid crystal display panel 11 as display illumination.

In other embodiments of the present invention, the lower diffusion sheet 131 may be a quantum dot film having optical characteristics of changing a wavelength of a light beam and diverging a light path, for example, a part of the wavelength of incident blue light may be lengthened and converted into red light and green light. The transmittance of the quantum dot film to infrared light is not less than 50%.

The backlight beam mentioned in this specification may refer to a light beam emitted from the backlight 140 in the backlight module 10, a light beam emitted from the backlight 140 and having a wavelength changed by the lower diffusion sheet 131, or a white light formed by mixing backlight beams having different wavelengths. All of these backlight beams function to provide the liquid crystal display panel 11 with illumination light beams necessary for display.

Referring to fig. 3, which is a schematic diagram of a transmittance curve of the reflective sheet 110 in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the reflective sheet 110 has a transmittance of more than 80% for infrared light with a wavelength range of 900nm to 1000 nm.

Please refer to fig. 4, which is a partial structural diagram of the embodiment shown in fig. 1. The reflective sheet 110 can be used to transmit the detection beam (which means the first detection beam 101 and/or the second detection beam 102 when referring to "detection beam" below). The reflective sheet 110 can be used to reflect the backlight beam 103. The backlight beam 103 emitted from the backlight source 140 enters the light guide plate 120 through one side surface (i.e., the light incident surface) of the light guide plate 120, and a part of the backlight beam 103 exits through the bottom surface of the light guide plate 120 and reaches the reflective sheet 110. The reflective sheet 110 may be formed by stacking or attaching a plurality of optical films, and may include several tens to several hundreds of optical films. Each layer of optical film has an incomplete same refractive index for the backlight beam 103 and the detection beam (including the first detection beam 101 and/or the second detection beam 102), and the backlight beam 103 is continuously refracted and reflected among the optical films by continuously overlapping and configuring a plurality of optical films with different optical characteristics, while the detection beam can penetrate through the optical films, so that the reflector 110 can penetrate through the detection beam and reflect the backlight beam 103. In this embodiment, the detection light beam (the first detection light beam 101 and/or the second detection light beam 102) is infrared light, for example, infrared light with a wavelength of 800nm to 1000 nm; the backlight beam 103 is visible light.

Referring to fig. 5, which illustrates a partial structural schematic view of the reflective sheet 110 in a modified embodiment of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the reflective sheet 110 includes an optical substrate 111 and a plurality of microstructures 112 disposed in the optical substrate 111. The microstructures 112 can be used to reflect the backlight beam 103 and transmit the detection beam (including the first detection beam 101 and/or the second detection beam 102). The microstructures 112 may be micro-porous structures having a diameter that is the same or close to the wavelength or wavelength range of the backlight beam 103, and the diameter of the micro-porous structures is smaller than the wavelength of the detection beam.

The optical substrate 111 may be made of Polyethylene (PE) material, or Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material, or other similar materials with good optical transparency. The microstructure 112 has, for example, but not limited to, a high transmittance (80% or more) for a light beam having a wavelength of 800nm or more and an extremely high reflectance (90% or more) for a light beam having a wavelength of 780nm or less. The microstructures 112 are connected (interconnected) uniformly distributed in the optical substrate 111.

In this embodiment, the detection beams 101 and 102 are beams with a wavelength of 800nm or more, such as infrared light with a wavelength range of 800-1000 nm. The backlight light beam 103 is a light beam with a wavelength below 780nm, for example, the backlight light beam 103 is visible light. The micro-structure 112 is a nano-pore (nanopore) with a diameter of 50nm to 1000nm, or the micro-structure 112 has a diameter of 400nm to 700 nm. When visible light with a wavelength of 380nm to 780nm passes through the plurality of microstructures 112, the diameter of the microstructures 112 is similar to the wavelength of the visible light, so that the visible light (such as the backlight beam 103 in this embodiment) is incident on the microstructures 112 to be divergently reflected (scatter). Since the diameter of the micro-holes of the micro-structures 112 is smaller than the wavelength of infrared light (above 800 nm), the first detection beam 101 and/or the second detection beam 102 of infrared light can be transmitted without influence.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the backlight source 140 emits a backlight beam 103 including visible light, which enters the light guide plate 120 through one side surface of the light guide plate 120 (i.e., the light incident surface of the light guide plate 120), and can exit from the bottom surface of the light guide plate 120, enter the reflective sheet 110, be reflected by the reflective sheet 110, and enter the light guide plate 120. In a variation of the above embodiment, the reflective sheet 110 is preferably a nanoporous film (nanoporous PE) having a thickness of 1 μm to 20 μm (micrometers). The microstructures 112 shown in fig. 5 are schematic representations only, and do not represent limitations to specific structures and positional relationships.

In this embodiment, the other embodiments or the modified embodiments, the emitting unit 21 and the receiving unit 22 may be disposed below the reflective sheet 110, and the first detection beam 101 and the second detection beam 102 respectively transmit through the reflective sheet 110.

For example, the emission unit 21 may be disposed in the backlight assembly 10 above the reflective sheet 110; or the emitting unit 21 may be disposed above the backlight module 10 and between the backlight module 10 and the liquid crystal display panel 11; or the emitting unit 21 is arranged at the side outside the backlight module 10 and the liquid crystal display panel 11.

The emission unit is located under a glass cover plate (not shown) that covers the liquid crystal display panel 11 and the emission unit 21. The receiving unit 22 is disposed under the backlight module 10. At this time, the electronic device can be used for face detection and recognition.

As used herein, high transmission means a transmission greater than 80% and high reflection means a reflection greater than 90%. The reflective sheet 110 may further include an optical substrate 111 as described in the above embodiments.
