Abstract

A method for verifying liveness of a finger of a user by capturing a first fingerprint sample from the finger placed on a display by using a first sensor placed under the display. The method may involve transmitting light, by using a first light transmitting display area of the display, towards a first area of the finger. The first light transmitting display area may be smaller than a first sensor area. The first sensor may capture reflected light from the finger. The reflected light may be transmitted through the display. A first feature of the first fingerprint sample may be identified by using the reflected light. The first feature may include scattered light from the finger. The light transmitted from the display may include a first light component with a first wavelength from a first area of the display.
