ABSTRACT:
A fingerprint detection apparatus includes a plurality of first electrodes having linear shapes and arranged in parallel to one another, a plurality of second electrodes arranged between said plurality of first electrodes and arranged in the longitudinal direction of each of said plurality of first electrodes, keeping apart from one another, and detecting section for obtaining a fingerprint image in accordance with resistance value groups each of which is generated between the adjacent first and second electrodes when the finger of a person required to be identified has been brought into contact with said plurality of first and second electrodes. Therefore, the fingerprint of a person required to be identified can be detected without a complicated optical system.
