摘要: A fingerprint sensing module includes a fingerprint sensing pixel array, a plurality of column circuitries and a constant current circuit. The fingerprint sensing pixel array includes a plurality of sensing pixels in an array arrangement. Each column circuitry is electrically coupled to a row of the sensing pixels via a corresponding row signal line. The constant current circuit generates a bias voltage to the column circuitries according to a reference current. In response to the bias voltage level, a row output current provided by each column circuitry and flowing through each row of the sensing pixels is equal to or close to the reference current. Since the row output current coincides with the reference current, the row output current is not adversely affected by the external factors.

摘要: An optical fingerprint sensor and a fingerprint identification method are provided. The optical fingerprint sensor includes a photosensitive element and a signal processing circuit. The signal processing circuit includes a logic unit, a variable/programmable gain amplifier and a processing unit. The logic unit is electrically coupled to the photosensitive element. The variable/programmable gain amplifier is electrically coupled to the logic unit. The processing unit is electrically coupled to the variable/programmable gain amplifier and the logic unit. The variable/programmable gain amplifier adaptively switches a gain between a first gain value and a second gain value, wherein the second gain value is larger than the first gain value. After the signals inputted into the variable/programmable gain amplifier are properly processed according to the first gain value or the second gain value, the optical fingerprint sensor acquires a sharp sensing image.
