Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electronic device and a physiological characteristic identifying module are provided. The electronic device includes a case, a physiological characteristic identifying element, a cover plate, a key cap, and an insulating static electricity shielding ring. The case has a first hole. The physiological characteristic identifying element is disposed in the first hole. The cover plate is disposed on the case and has a second hole. At least a portion of an upper surface of the physiological characteristic identifying element is exposed by the second hole. The key cap is disposed in the second hole and located above the upper surface. The insulating static electricity shielding ring is disposed on the rim of the physiological characteristic identifying element and covers an outer portion of the upper surface and at least a portion of a lateral surface of the physiological characteristic identifying element.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electronic device, comprising: a case comprising a first hole; a physiological characteristic identifying element disposed in the first hole; a cover plate disposed on the case and comprising a second hole, wherein the second hole exposes at least a portion of an upper surface of the physiological characteristic identifying element; a key cap disposed in the second hole and located above the upper surface; and an insulating static electricity shielding ring disposed on a rim of the physiological characteristic identifying element and covering an outer portion of the upper surface and at least a portion of a lateral surface of the physiological characteristic identifying element, wherein the lateral surface and the upper surface are located on different planes, and wherein an orthographic projection of a gap between the key cap and a hole wall of the second hole on the upper surface completely avoids an area of the upper surface that is not covered by the insulating static electricity shielding ring. 2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a resistance value of the insulating static electricity shielding ring is greater than 10 9 Ω. 3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a waterproof glue applied between the lateral surface and a hole wall of the first hole and between the insulating static electricity shielding ring and the hole wall of the first hole. 4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the physiological characteristic identifying element is a fingerprint identifying element. 5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the fingerprint identifying element is a capacitive fingerprint identifying element.
