Patent attributes
A collimator for under-display fingerprint sensing includes (a) a substrate having opposite facing first and second sides, (b) an array of microlenses disposed on the first surface for focusing light from a fingerprint surface onto a focal plane that is between the array of microlenses and the second side of the substrate such that the light, as projected by the array of microlenses, is diverging when exiting the second side of the substrate, and (c) an array of apertures between the array of microlenses and the substrate, wherein each of the apertures is aligned to and cooperates with a respective one of the microlenses to form a field-of-view-limited lens having a field of view corresponding to a respective local portion of the fingerprint surface.
