Abstract

The present disclosure provides an optical fingerprint sensor and a display module. The optical fingerprint sensor includes a photodiode and a switching thin film transistor connected to the photodiode, in which the photodiode includes a first electrode made of a light-absorbing conductive nano-material; the first electrode is located in a same layer as a second electrode of the switching thin film transistor, and the first electrode includes a light-entering end surface facing a light-entering side and a side surface connected to the light-entering end surface, the side surface includes a curved portion, and the second electrode is at least connected to the curved portion.
