Abstract

A fingerprint sensor including first, second, and third lines, and a unit sensor coupled to the first, the second, and the third lines. The unit sensor includes a pixel electrode coupled between the first line and the second line, a first capacitance element coupled between the first line and the pixel electrode, a second capacitance element coupled between the second line and the pixel electrode, a switching element coupled between the pixel electrode and one of the first line, the second line, a first line of an adjacent unit sensor, and a second line of the adjacent unit sensor, and including a control electrode coupled to the third line, and a third capacitance element coupled between the third line and the pixel electrode, in which at least one of the first and the second capacitance elements includes a variable capacitance element.
