Abstract
A touch panel with a fingerprint identification function includes a cover plate, a mask layer, a flexible substrate, and a fingerprint sensing array. The mask layer is disposed on the cover plate for defining an operating region and a non-operating region of the touch panel. The flexible substrate is disposed on the mask layer and at least in the non-operating region. The fingerprint sensing array is directly disposed on the flexible substrate in the non-operating region. Through the configuration that the fingerprint sensing array is disposed on the flexible substrate, the distance between the fingerprint sensing array and a user's fingers is reduced, thereby increasing the sensitivity of fingerprint identification.
