<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a biometric authentication system capable of easily performing biometric authentication. <P>SOLUTION: A biometrics authentication system includes: a microlens array section 12 including a plurality of microlenses; an imaging device 13 for receiving light condensed by each microlens from each different part of a living organism to obtain imaging data of each part; an image processing section 14 for producing single imaging data of the living organism on the basis of the imaging data of each part. It is not necessary to perform scanning or the like on the living organism 2 as an object subjected to imaging when picking up an image, so that an imaging process is simplified. A plurality of microlenses capable of changing a refraction direction of incident light in accordance with an applied voltage and an authentication mode switching part 17 for applying the voltage to microlenses may be provided to switch an authentication mode between vein authentication and fingerprint authentication. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
