ABSTRACT:
Aspects of the invention can provide a fingerprint sensor for searching for a detection condition in a short period of time in order to read information of ridges and valleys of a fingerprint as changes in capacitance. The fingerprint sensor of the invention can include a plurality of capacitance detection circuits that output a detection signal having ridge/valley information of a fingerprint based on capacitance formed between the sensor and a fingertip surface, a fingerprint detection part in which the plurality of capacitance detection circuits are arranged to intersect with one another in a row direction and a column direction, a plurality of scanning lines, a scanning line driver for driving the scanning line, a plurality of data lines, a data line driver for driving the data line, and search device for searching for a detection condition of ridge/valley information by changing detection conditions of the ridge/valley information in a state that the plurality of capacitance detection circuits arranged along any one of the plurality of scanning lines are being selected.
