A hybrid capacitive and optical fingerprint sensor system includes: capacitive sensor electrodes; an optical image sensor having a plurality of image sensor pixels; light conditioning elements, configured to condition light from a sensing region of the hybrid capacitive and optical fingerprint sensor for detection by the optical image sensor; and a processing system having one or more controllers, configured to operate the capacitive sensor electrodes in a low-power mode of operation for the hybrid capacitive and optical fingerprint sensor, and to operate the optical image sensor to acquire an image from the sensing region of the hybrid capacitive and optical fingerprint sensor.
A fingerprint sensor, comprising:
Method for operating a fingerprint sensor comprising an optical image sensor having a plurality of image sensor pixels and capacitive sensor electrodes arranged outside of an active sensing area of the optical image sensor, the method comprising:
