In recent years, fingerprint recognition has become more and more widely used in mobile phones. A fingerprint recognition device hidden under an opaque display panel designed based on a waveguide and frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) is proposed and demonstrated herein. In order to meet the demand for a high screen ratio for mobile phone displays, we use a symmetrical zoom-in and zoom-out coupler design. With this comprehensive coupler and waveguide design, not only can fingerprint recognition be achieved using an opaque display panel, but it also meets the appearance requirements for a mobile phone with a high screen ratio.
