Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the titled sensor thin in size, and also to obtain it at a low cost by using a Lippmann hologram as a read-out use hologram. CONSTITUTION:A fingerprint sensor is provided with a transparent plate 10, a light source 11, a read-out use hologram 12, and a detector 13, and detects a fingerprint by a total reflection filtering method. as for the read-out use hologram 12, a Lippmann hologram is used. The Lippmann hologram has a function for selecting a diffracted light nearly to a single wavelength, even if some wavelength width exists in an incident light, therefore, it becomes unnecessary to use an expensive laser, etc. as a light source 11. Also, when the Lippmann hologram is made to have an image forming function, an image forming lens system becomes unnecessary.

As a means for inputting personal information such as fingerprints, an uneven surface information detection device using a total internal reflection filtering method as shown in FIG. 3 has been developed. This consists of a transparent flat plate 1, a light source 2,
It is composed of a hologram 3, a detector 4, etc., and its action is that when the finger 5 pressed against the transparent flat plate 1 is illuminated by the light source 2 from below the transparent flat plate 1, the four parts 6 of the fingerprint of the finger 5 are illuminated.
Since the light 7 diffusely reflected from the transparent plate 1 passes through the air layer, the condition for total reflection is not met within the transparent flat plate 1, and all of the light 7 is emitted to the outside.

On the other hand, among the light diffusely reflected from the convex portion 8 of the fingerprint, the light 9 reflected under the total reflection condition repeats total reflection within the transparent flat plate 1 and propagates to the right, and is transmitted to the hologram 3 provided at the right end of the transparent flat plate 1. The total internal reflection condition is broken and the light is emitted to the outside. The detector 4 receives this light and can immediately detect the fingerprint.

(Refer to Japanese Patent Application No. 60-41437) [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-mentioned conventional method, the hologram 3 is used for readout, so the light source 2 is a laser or the like without wavelength spread. It has the disadvantage that it requires the use of a lens, which increases the price, and it also has the disadvantage that it cannot be miniaturized because it uses a lens system for image formation.

By using a Lippmann bologram as a readout bologram, the Lippmann bologram can reduce the wavelength width of the incident light C, but most of the diffracted light is j:j-one wavelength ζ.
Because of this sorting function, there is no need to use an expensive laser as a light source, making it cheaper, and if the Lippmann hologram has an imaging function, it eliminates the need for an imaging lens system and can be made thinner. It becomes possible.

Therefore, in this embodiment configured as shown in FIG. 1, there is no need to use an expensive laser as the light source 11, and an inexpensive ED array or the like can be used. Furthermore, if the Lippmann hologram 14 is provided with an imaging function, its imaging position is placed on the air interface of the transparent flat plate 10, and a contact type image sensor made of amorphous silicon or the like is formed as the detector 13 in the core part. The convex information light can be directly imaged on the image sensor without exiting the transparent flat plate 10 into the air and without a lens, thus making it possible to make the device thinner. Note that the operation of the total reflection filtering of this embodiment is similar to that of the conventional example explained in FIG. 3, so the explanation will be omitted.
