摘要

Disclosed is a slide-type fingerprint reader usable for reading the fingerprint of a user by sliding the finger of the user on a fingerprint sensor. The fingerprint reader comprises a sensor movable mechanism which holds the fingerprint sensor at a position projecting from a scanning surface scanned by the finger when a positioning device for positioning the first joint of the finger at the center of the fingerprint sensor is not depressed and allows the movement of the fingerprint sensor when the positioning device is depressed.
