Abstract

An optical fingerprint module includes: an optical fingerprint sensor having a first surface, a second surface, and a plurality of photosensitive pixels; and an OLED display panel having a third surface and a fourth surface. An OLED device layer is formed between the third surface and the fourth surface; the OLED device layer includes a plurality of display pixels each of which consists of at least one non-opaque region and at least one light blocking region; a light emitting device is provided in the at least one light blocking region; light emitted by the light emitting device at least partially reaches the fourth surface; the light reaching the fourth surface is at least partially used for acquiring a fingerprint image, thereby generating reflective light; the reflective light passes through the non-opaque region, the third surface, the second surface, and enters the plurality of photosensitive pixels.
