Abstract

Devices and optical sensor modules are provided for provide on-screen optical sensing of fingerprints by using a under-screen optical sensor module that captures and detects returned light that is emitted by the display screen for displaying images and that is reflected back by the top surface of the screen assembly. Optical collimators are provided in the under-screen optical sensor module to enhance the optical imaging performance. Techniques for reducing the environmental light in the optical sensing are provided.
