Abstract

An optical fingerprint sensor with spoof detection includes a plurality of lenses, an image sensor including a pixel array that includes a plurality of first photodiodes and a plurality of second photodiodes, and at least one apertured baffle-layer having a plurality of aperture stops, wherein each second photodiode is configured to detect light having passed through a lens and at least one aperture stop not aligned with the lens along an optical axis. A method for detecting spoof fingerprints detected using an optical fingerprint sensor includes detecting large-angle light incident on a plurality of anti-spoof photodiodes, wherein the plurality of anti-spoof photodiodes is interleaved with a plurality of imaging photodiodes, determining an angular distribution of light based at least in part one the large-angle light, and detecting spoof fingerprints based at least in part on the angular distribution of light.
