Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of creating electronic images of a finger or other object with ridges and the like, and a compact optical apparatus to project high contrast image slices of a finge ⁇ rint onto sensors.
- a high contrast image may be obtained by viewing the finge ⁇ rint through the transparent platen at an oblique angle; the finge ⁇ rint image is then focused by a GRIN lens array onto a linear sensor array.
- the GRIN lens or other focusing means can be arranged to view reflected images of the finge ⁇ rint, and to project reflected images onto the linear array sensor.
- To provide a high contrast image of the finge ⁇ rint light is directed at an angle to the top interior surface of the platen (typically 45 degrees or more to a line normal to the surface of the platen, depending on the index of refraction of the platen, which is advantageously greater than 1.5), where it is reflected by TIR if no finge ⁇ rint is present.
- the high contrast finge ⁇ rint image is viewed by a GRIN lens array, or alternatively a relay lens pair array, or any other functionally equivalent means that creates a series of coherent overlapping images.
- the GRIN lens array looks at an oblique angle to the platen; the narrow finge ⁇ rint strip image is focused by the GRIN lens array onto the width of a linear array sensor, which may have one linear array of light sensing pixels or two or more parallel linear arrays of light sensing pixels.
- the CIS sensor for finge ⁇ rint imaging can be arranged in several novel configurations, which can be optimized for different applications and manufacturing techniques.
- the different features of various configurations may be utilized or combined, and other materials, components or technologies may used or combined to achieve substantially similar finge ⁇ rint imaging systems.
- Figure IA shows a cut-away, isometric depiction of a side view of the prior art contact image sensor, similar to those commonly used in facsimile machines, viewing a horizontally moving sheet of paper through a GRIN rod lens array and projecting a narrow strip image onto a linear array sensor.
- Figure IB shows a comparison of a prior art GRIN rod lens array with a functionally equivalent array of relay lens pairs, with an optical ray diagram which depicts the well known image transfer function of relay lenses.
- Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional depiction of a side view of a illuminated finge ⁇ rint, with light introduced from the bottom and reflected by total internal reflection, a GRIN lens array mounted at an angle less than 45 degrees to the horizontal, with the projected high contrast image from the GRIN lens array reflected one time by total internal reflection and then directed onto a linear array sensor.
- Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional depiction of a side view of a vertically mounted GRIN lens array viewing a finge ⁇ rint, with light introduced from the bottom and reflected by total internal reflection to the fmge ⁇ rint, the image of the finge ⁇ rint reflected to the GRIN lens array by total internal reflection, which then projects a high contrast image of a finge ⁇ rint directly onto the linear array sensor.
- Figure 5 shows a view of an optical system identical to that in Figure 4, with the exception that an array of small relay optics lens pairs has been substituted equivalently for the GRIN lens.
- Figure 6 shows a cross-sectional depiction of a side view of a horizontally deployed GRIN lens array viewing an illuminated finge ⁇ rint, with light introduced horizontally from the side and reflected by total internal reflection to the finge ⁇ rint, and the image of the finge ⁇ rint reflected by total internal reflection to the GRIN lens array and thereafter reflected again by total internal reflection down onto the linear array sensor.
- Figure 7 shows a cross-sectional depiction of a side view of a horizontally deployed GRIN lens array viewing an illuminated finge ⁇ rint, with light introduced from the bottom and reflected by total internal reflection to the finge ⁇ rint, and the high contrast image of the finge ⁇ rint reflected by total internal reflection to the GRIN lens array and thereafter reflected again by total internal reflection down onto the linear array sensor.
- Figure 8 shows a cross-sectional perspective view of an optical system identical to that shown in Figure 7.
- Figure 9 shows a cross-sectional view of an optical system similar to that shown in Figure 7, with the exception that the GRIN lens array is supported by two transparent optical elements.
- Figure 10 shows a cross-sectional view of an optical system similar to that shown in Figure 7, with the exception that the linear array sensor is mounted directly on the PC board, as a chip-on-board mounting, eliminating the need for a package for the linear array sensor.
- Figure 11 shows a cross-sectional view of an optical system similar to that shown in Figure 7, with the exception that the optical elements are attached directly to the PC board, and the linear array sensor is mounted as a flip-chip on the opposite side of the PC board, over a slot in the board, which allows light to reach the linear array sensor surface.
- Figure 12 shows a cross-sectional view of an optical system similar to that shown in Figure 3, with a side view of a illuminated finge ⁇ rint, with light introduced from the bottom and refracted in the direction substantially normal to the imaging surface of the platen, a GRIN lens array mounted at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the platen, with the projected high contrast image from the GRIN lens array reflected one time by total internal reflection and then directed onto a linear array sensor.
- FIG. 1 A basic CIS (Contact Image Sensor) is shown, which is commonly used in prior art facsimile machines and sheet-feed document scanners.
- a CIS imager is comprised of four basic components, which include a transparent platen, light source, lens array, and linear array sensor.
- the platen 1 is made of transparent glass or plastic, or other suitable transparent material.
- the light source 2 is conveniently an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) or any other suitable source of light such as an electro-luminescent strip or miniature fluorescent tube.
- the lens system is typically a GRIN lens array 3, or it could be replaced by a relay lens array 6 as shown in Figure IB.
- the linear array optical sensor 4, with a single linear array, or two or more parallel rows of light sensing pixels, may use CCD (charge coupled device) pixels, or may use CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) APS (active pixel sensing) pixels, photo-diode pixels, or any other linear array of light sensing or infrared sensing pixel technology.
- the width of platen 1, light source 2, GRIN lens array 3 and linear array sensor 4 may be any convenient length, suited to the imaging task at hand.
- the CIS sensor is shown imaging a printed sheet of paper 5 which is moved across the platen 1.
- paper 5 is mechanically moved across the platen; alternatively, the CIS sensor may be mechanically moved beneath paper 5 on a fixed platen.
- light source 2 shines light beam 2a through transparent platen 1 and illuminates the object, such as printed letters on paper 5. Some light 2b is then scattered and reflected from paper 5 and is viewed by GRIN lens array 3 and focused as light 2c onto linear array sensor 4.
- An electronic gray scale image is gathered line by line by the linear array sensor 4, and is subsequently stored, altered, processed, inte ⁇ reted, transmitted, displayed, printed or otherwise used.
- Figure IB compares GRIN lens array 3 with relay lens array 6, which is comprised of a linear array of relay lens pairs.
- relay lens array 6 is the functional equivalent of GRIN lens array 3, which is a 1:1 imager (no magnification, de-magnification or image inversion).
- the GRIN lens array 3 and relay lens array 6 both create a series of overlapping coherent images to create a single narrow image the width of the array.
- the general optical properties of a relay lens is shown schematically with relay lens pair 7, whereby an image is transmitted, or relayed, to the focal plane without change in size or orientation.
- GRIN lens array 3 utilizes optical fibers as rod lenses to refract the image, to achieve the same optical result.
- a suitably designed relay lens array may be substituted for a GRIN lens array.
- FIG 2 a general embodiment of the finge ⁇ rint sensor is shown.
- Surface mount technology SMT is used to mount the electronic components of linear array sensor package 8 and linear array light emitting diode (LED) light source 2 onto printed circuit board (PCB) 9.
- the linear array sensor 4 silicon chip is supported by sensor package 8, and connected by wire bonds 4a.
- Linear array sensor 4 may have one linear array of light sensing pixels, or two or more parallel linear arrays.
- Sensor package 8 also supports transparent platen 1. Platen 1 also serves as a cover for package 8, providing a sealed enclosure for linear array sensor 4.
- GRIN lens array 3 is fitted or otherwise attached to platen 1 such that GRIN lens array 3 is at the appropriate position that it is able to focus on interior surface la of platen 1 and also on linear sensor array 4.
- linear array LED light source 2 generates light beam 2a, which ideally is a collimated sheet of monochromatic light which is the width of the finge ⁇ rint.
- Light beam 2a shines upward into the transparent platen 1 where it is reflected by TIR on interior surface lc and then is directed towards the top interior surface la of the transparent platen 1.
- the skin of finge ⁇ rint 5 touches the exterior surface of the platen 1 above position la, which causes FTIR where the finge ⁇ rint ridges touch the platen, resulting in dark regions for finge ⁇ rint ridges and bright regions for finge ⁇ rint valleys.
- the linear strip of high contrast finge ⁇ rint image 2b is directed towards GRIN lens array 3, which then focuses light 2c of the finge ⁇ rint strip on the width linear array sensor 4.
- Figure 2 also shows several optional refinements which can improve performance.
- the top of platen 1 has a slightly raised strip lb which provides increased pressure of the finge ⁇ rint on the platen, improving image quality by causing the skin to contact the platen more firmly.
- Interior surface lc of platen 1 is roughened to act as a reflective diffuser to light beam 2a to provide more constant illumination across the width of the finge ⁇ rint.
- Surface If of platen 1 is blackened to eliminate stray light from reaching linear array 4.
- sponge or other absorbent or capillary material 11 On the top surface of platen 1 is sponge or other absorbent or capillary material 11, which optionally is glued into a recess in platen 1 and which can be loaded with water or oil or other lubricating fluid.
- sponge 11 The function of sponge 11 is to wet the skin of finge ⁇ rint 5 before it passes over platen 1 on raised strip lb, providing a higher contrast image and compensating for dry skin on the finge ⁇ rint.
- a particular advantage of sponge 11 is that it automatically lubricates the finger in a single swiping motion, as the finge ⁇ rint image is being taken.
- linear array sensor 4 generates an electronic signal representative of the current strip of the finge ⁇ rint image being viewed by the CIS optical system in platen 1.
- a CIS sensor for fmge ⁇ rint imaging must accommodate variable and unknown speed of motion of the finger as it is wiped over platen 1.
- a simple method to measure the speed of motion of the fmger is to employ an external sensor. The measurement of the speed of finger motion can used to rectify the image data from linear array sensor 4 to obtain geometrically correct finge ⁇ rint images.
- a second preferred method of measuring fmger speed is to compare successive scans of parallel linear arrays in linear array sensor 4. This method of estimating fmger speed from linear array sensors is disclosed in commonly owned United States patent application 08/892,577 filed 16 July, 1997 for an invention called "Linear Sensor Imaging Method and Apparatus.”
- Figure 3 shows a cross sectional view of another practical embodiment of a finge ⁇ rint sensor, employing through-hole technology electronic components of linear array sensor package 8 and linear array LED light source 2 soldered to PCB 9.
- the linear array sensor 4 silicon chip is supported by sensor package 8, which also supports transparent platen 1.
- GRIN lens array 3 is fitted or otherwise attached to platen 1 such that the focal distance is appropriate for imaging the finge ⁇ rint onto linear array sensor 4.
- Platen 1 also serves as a cover for package 8, providing a sealed enclosure for linear sensor array 4.
- the top surface of platen 1 of the finge ⁇ rint sensor protrudes slightly through a hole in cover surface 12, which represents part of the sensor enclosure.
- the linear array LED light source 2 shines collimated sheet of light 2a upward into the transparent platen 1 where it is bounced by TIR or mirror reflection on interior surface lc towards interior surface la.
- the skin of finge ⁇ rint 5 touches the exterior surface of the platen 1 above position la, which causes FTIR reflection of a linear strip of the finge ⁇ rint image 2b towards GRIN lens array 3.
- Light 2c from GRIN lens array 3 is reflected by TIR or a mirrored surface on the interior surface le of platen 1, and is then directed downward and focused across the width of linear array sensor 4. If a mirrored surface is employed at surface le, the reflective layer may be applied to the external surface of platen 1.
- Figure 3 also shows several optional refinements which can improve performance.
- the top of platen 1 has a slightly raised strip lb, made from silicone rubber or other flexible or rigid transparent material, which provides increased local pressure of the finge ⁇ rint on the platen and also increased optical contact between the fmge ⁇ rint and the flexible top of the platen, improving image quality.
- Surface If of platen 1 is blackened to reduce stray light reaching linear array 4.
- surface lg inside platen 1 acts as a barrier to eliminate stray light from beam 2a reaching linear array 4.
- Figure 4 shows a cross sectional view of another practical embodiment of a fmge ⁇ rint sensor, employing through-hole technology electronic components: linear array sensor package 8 and linear array LED light source 2 soldered to PCB 9.
- the skin of finge ⁇ rint 5 touches the exterior surface of the platen 1 above position 1 a, which causes FTIR reflection of a linear strip of the finge ⁇ rint image 2b towards interior surface Id where it is reflected by TIR or a mirrored surface towards GRIN lens array 3. If a mirrored surface is employed at surface Id, the reflective layer may be applied to the external surface of platen 1. Light 2c from GRIN lens array 3 is then directed downward and focused across the width of linear array sensor 4.
- Figure 4 also shows two optional refinements which can improve performance.
- Surface If of platen 1 is blackened to reduce stray light reaching linear array 4.
- Interior surface lc of platen 1 is roughened to act as a reflective diffuser to light beam 2a to provide more constant illumination across the width of the fmge ⁇ rint.
- Figure 5 shows a cross sectional view of another practical embodiment of a finge ⁇ rint sensor, employing through-hole technology electronic components of linear array sensor package 8 and linear array LED light source 2 soldered to PCB 9.
- the linear array sensor 4 silicon chip is supported by sensor package 8, which also supports transparent platen 1.
- Relay lens array 6 is fitted or otherwise attached inside platen 1 such that it projects an image of finge ⁇ rint 4 on linear array sensor 4.
- Platen 1 also serves as a cover for package 8, providing a sealed enclosure for linear sensor array 4 and relay lens array 6.
- the fmge ⁇ rint image is acquired in a manner identical to Figure 4, with the exception that relay lens array 6 is used in place of a GRIN lens array.
- surface If of platen 1 is blackened to reduce stray light reaching linear array 4.
- Figure 7 shows a cross sectional view of another compact embodiment of a fmge ⁇ rint sensor, employing through-hole technology electronic components of linear array sensor package 8 and linear array LED light source 2 soldered to PCB 9.

- Platen 1 is supported over cover 10 by glue or other attachment or support means.
- GRIN lens array 3 is fitted or otherwise attached to platen 1.
- Linear array LED light source 2 shines upward into the transparent platen 1, through curved surface lh, which serves as a lens to collimate light inside platen 1 , increasing the amount of light available for imaging the finge ⁇ rint.
- Light from light source 2 is bounced by TIR or mirror reflection on interior surface lc towards the top interior surface la of the transparent platen 1.
- the skin of finge ⁇ rint 5 touches the exterior surface of the platen 1 above position la, which causes a linear strip of the finge ⁇ rint image to be reflected by FTIR from la towards interior surface Id, where it is again reflected by TIR or mirror reflection towards GRIN lens array 3.
- the narrow strip image from GRIN lens array 3 is then reflected by TIR or mirror reflection on interior surface le, which directs the image downward through cover 10 where it is focused across the width of linear sensor array 4.
- the reflective layer may be applied to the external surface of platen 1.
- the upper interior surface la of the platen 1 is contained in a slightly raised strip lb which provides increased pressure of the finge ⁇ rint onto the platen imaging surface above la, improving image quality.
- the image on linear array 4 is foreshortened but not reversed in direction.
- Figure 8 shows a perspective view of the embodiment shown in Figure 7, with the electronic components of linear array sensor package 8 and linear array LED light source 2 soldered to PCB 9; in this perspective view, the ends of the sensor package are cut off for display pu ⁇ oses.
- the width of the finge ⁇ rint sensor as measured along the width of transparent platen 1 and raised strip lb, is about 19 mm, or the approximate width of the human finger, although variations in this dimension will also function satisfactorily.
- GRIN lens array 3 is at least the width of linear sensor array 4 and is fitted or otherwise attached to platen 1 to properly focus the finge ⁇ rint image on linear sensor array 4.
- Light source 2 can be seen as a linear bar of multiple linear array LEDs, or any other elongated light source, providing an upwardly directed sheet of approximately collimated light 2a, which is also the width of the finge ⁇ rint sensor.
- the sheet of light of light beam 2a is directed into platen 1 and reflected internally by TIR or mirror reflection at internal surface lc in platen 1 onto interior surface la, illuminating the width of raised strip lb of platen 1.
- the finge ⁇ rint ridges cause FTIR and absorb light at position la, while the valleys of the finge ⁇ rint do not touch the platen and thus allow light to be reflected by TIR from interior surface la.
- the narrow strip finge ⁇ rint image from the width surface la is reflected by TIR or mirror reflection along the width of interior surface Id and is directed towards GRIN lens array 3.
- GRIN lens array 3 acts in the manner of a relay lens and refracts the finge ⁇ rint strip image and sends the image to be reflected again by TIR or mirror reflection along the width interior surface le, which then directs the image downward through glass or plastic cover 10 where the image of the narrow finge ⁇ rint strip is focused across the width of linear sensor array 4. If a mirrored surface is employed at surface le and/or Id, the reflective layer may be applied to the external surface of platen 1.

- the collimated sheet of light 2a is bounced by TIR or mirror reflection on interior surface lc towards top interior surface la of the transparent platen 1.
- the skin of finge ⁇ rint 5 touches the exterior surface of the platen 1 above position la, which causes a linear strip of the finge ⁇ rint image to be reflected by FTIR from la towards interior surface Id, where it is again reflected by TIR or mirror reflection towards GRIN lens array 3.
- the narrow strip image from GRIN lens array 3 is then reflected by TIR or mirror reflection on interior surface le, which directs the image downward through cover 10 where it is focused across the width of linear sensor array 4. If a mirrored surface is employed at surface le and/or Id, the reflective layer may be applied to the external surface of platen 1. As in Figure 7, the image on linear array 4 is foreshortened but not reversed in direction.
- Figure 10 shows a cross sectional view of a practical miniaturized embodiment, employing chip-on-board (COB) mounting with wire-bonding 4a for the linear array sensor 4 and SMT for the linear array LED light source 2, both attached to PCB 9.

- the top surface of platen 1 of the finge ⁇ rint sensor protrudes slightly through a hole in cover surface 12, which encloses the sensor.
- Figure 11 show a cross sectional view of a practical sub-miniaturized finge ⁇ rint sensor.
- Components are mounted on both sides of PCB 9.
- linear array LED light source 2 which shines a sheet of light upward through a slotted hole 9a or multiple single holes.
- linear array sensor 4 which is mounted using "flip-chip” technology, which either bonds the chip to the printed circuit board with pressure-welds which also provide the required electrical contacts, or is mounted using special conductive glue to bond the electrical contacts and hold the chip to the printed circuit board; epoxy coating 4b, or other suitable material, may be used to protect linear array sensor 4.
- Figure 12 shows a cross sectional view of another practical embodiment of a finge ⁇ rint sensor, employing surface-mount technology electronic components of linear array sensor package 8 and linear array LED light source 2 soldered to PCB 9.
