Trapezoidal Fingerprint Prism
The trapezoidal fingerprint prism is a specially shaped right-trapezoidal optical prism that redirects the fingerprint-imaging path using total internal reflection. LED light enters the prism while a finger presses the acquisition surface. According to the description, fingerprint ridges contacting the glass reflect light, whereas air gaps at valleys allow light to escape, forming a bright/dark fingerprint image. The prism redirects this image onto a CMOS sensor for capture. Nontransmitting side faces are blackened to suppress stray light and improve image signal-to-noise ratio.
