Abstract: A biometrics sensor module includes a housing, a biometrics sensor and a coupling electrode. The housing has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The biometrics sensor has a sensing surface, which is disposed on the first surface of the housing and has sensing members arranged in an array. The coupling electrode is disposed on the first or second surface of the housing. Two regions, projected from the sensing surface and the coupling electrode to the second surface of the housing, do not overlap with each other. A coupling signal is provided to the coupling electrode and directly or indirectly couples the coupling signal to an object, so that the sensing members of the biometrics sensor sense biometrics messages of the object contacting with the second surface of the housing.

Abstract: A sensing apparatus includes a holding substrate, a sensing chip and a protection layer. The sensing chip is mounted on the holding substrate and electrically connected to the holding substrate. The sensing chip has a sensing region and a non-sensing region other than the sensing region. The sensing region senses image data of an object and thus generates a sensed signal outputted to the holding substrate. The protection layer is formed by a packaging material and is simultaneously processed and integrally formed to cover the sensing region and the non-sensing region of the sensing chip and the holding substrate. The protection layer has an exposed upper surface, which has one portion serving as a sensing surface in contact with the object. The entire protection layer is composed of the same material.

Abstract: A stray-light-coupled biometrics sensing module includes a light-transparent body, a display unit and an optical module. The light-transparent body has a front side and a backside. The front side is configured to support an organic object thereon. The display unit attached to the backside of the light-transparent body displays a frame. The optical module is attached to the backside of the light-transparent body through an adhesive, and is disposed adjacent to the display unit. First light rays of the frame emitted from an eye-viewing screen couple into the organic object through the light-transparent body. After travelling a short distance in the organic object, the first light rays couple out of the organic object and re-enter the light-transparent body as second light rays entering the optical module. The optical module senses the second light rays to generate a biometrics image signal. An electronic apparatus is also disclosed.
