PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fingerprint detector which can be made smaller and thinner even when an opening to the outside, a memory device, and the like are provided, and to manufacture the device at a lower cost. SOLUTION: This fingerprint detector 101 has a fingerprint detecting device 1 and a memory device 12 mounted in a package formed by combining an upper resin member 102 and a lower resin member 103. A fingerprint detecting portion 9 of the fingerprint device 1 is exposed from an opening 7 of the upper resin member 102 to detect the geometrical information of a fingerprint 20 and convert it into an electrical signal. When the geometrical information detected by the fingerprint detecting device 1 is compared with information stored in the memory device 12 beforehand, personal authentication or the like can be carried out by using a fingerprint 20. Since the fingerprint detecting device 1 and the memory device 12 are mounted in an integral package, this detector can be made smaller and thinner, and can be manufactured at a significantly lower cost than in the case where devices are separately mounted on a wiring board. |
