Abstract

An optical apparatus for a fingerprint identification system having a multi-LED for emitting a light, a prism having a slant surface to which a fingerprint being identified is contacted and in which the incident light is absorbed at each ridge but reflected at each valley of the fingerprint, a cover glass functioning as a partial reflecting glass adapted to partially relfect the beam representing a fingerprint image reflected from the prism, a target adapted for focusing a virtual image of the fingerprint thereon, a magnifying glass for magnifying the fingerprint image partially reflected by the cover glass, thereby allowing the user to easily see the fingerprint image, a producing lens for producing the fingerprint image transmitted through the cover glass, and a CCD camera module for converting the fingerprint image produced by the producing lens into an electric signal. The optical fingerprint identification system enables a user to easily adjust the identifying position of the fingerprint improving the accuracy of the fingerprint identification.
