OPTICAL FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION APPARATUS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

The present application provides an optical fingerprint identification apparatus and an electronic device. The optical fingerprint identification apparatus includes a fingerprint identification module for being disposed under a backlight module of the liquid crystal display, and a fingerprint detection area thereof is at least partially located in a display area of the display. The fingerprint identification module includes an optical sensor and a light source disposed adjacent to the optical sensor; the light source is used to emit a detection light to the fingerprint detection area of the liquid crystal display, and the detection light passes through the liquid crystal display via a transmission part of the backlight module and irradiates to a finger above the liquid crystal display to form a fingerprint detection light carrying fingerprint information of the finger; and the optical sensor is used to receive the fingerprint detection light to acquire the fingerprint information of the finger; where the fingerprint detection light passes through the liquid crystal display and is transmitted to the optical sensor via the transmission part of the backlight module. Since the light source is located at the bottom of the backlight module, and the space at the outer edge of the display module is not increased, and the chin area of the electronic device is reduced, improving the screen-to-body ratio of the electronic device.
