Abstract:
A device for contact-based capture of human autopodial prints using disturbed total internal reflection, comprising a protective body with a contact surface, a sensor layer comprising light-sensor elements in an array for detecting light of a predefined wavelength range, and a light guide. Passband areas transparent for light of the predefined range are between the sensor elements. The light guide is transparent to light in the range and includes parallel lower and upper faces. The faces define a coupling-in surface for light emitted from a light source in a limited angular range around a preferred direction. Due to the directed angle of incidence, light entering the light guide is totally internally reflected at the faces. A mirror layer between the sensors and the guide reflects some light back into the light guide and transmits other light. Light exiting the guide is homogenized dependent upon a distance to the light source.

Claim (Index 3):
The device according to  claim 2 , wherein the mirror layer comprises reflecting areas and transmitting areas, wherein a proportion of the reflecting areas per unit area decreases on average with distance from the light source and the proportion of the transmitting areas per unit area increases on average with the distance from the light source.
