Provided herein are a calibration method for a fingerprint sensor and a display device using the calibration method, where, in the calibration method for a fingerprint sensor, the fingerprint sensor includes a substrate, a light-blocking layer located on a first surface of the substrate and having openings formed in a light-blocking mask, a light-emitting element layer located on the light-blocking layer and having a plurality of light-emitting elements, and a sensor layer located on a second surface of the substrate and having a plurality of photosensors; and the calibration method includes generating calibration data through white calibration and dark calibration, and applying offsets to the plurality of photosensors using the calibration data.

Calibration method for fingerprint sensor and display device using the same

A display apparatus includes: a display panel configured to display an image; a fingerprint sensor disposed on the display panel and configured to capture a fingerprint image and to generate fingerprint sensing data; and a fingerprint sensor controller configured to generate a compensation characteristic function of each pixel of the fingerprint sensor using a plurality of test patterns, to extract a coefficient of the compensation characteristic function of each pixel and to compensate the fingerprint sensing data using the coefficient of the compensation characteristic function.
