Abstract
A fingerprint sensor and a correction method thereof are provided. The fingerprint sensor includes a sensing part to be touched by a finger, including sensing units, a processing unit, and a correction unit; the sensing unit is configured to sense, when correction starts, a fingerprint signal and output first data; the processing unit is configured to calculate, according to a mathematical model, a new correction coefficient of the corresponding sensing unit by the first data; and the correction unit is configured to correct, according to the new correction coefficient, second data output by the corresponding sensing unit. The fingerprint sensor can automatically modify a correction coefficient when a physical characteristic of the fingerprint sensor changes, thereby reducing the product return rate and prolonging the product service life, omitting a step of correction before delivery, and reducing the manufacturing difficulty and the manufacturing costs.
