Fingerprint Cards sitter på in-display the holy grail
Synaptics lösning innebär att man bara kan trycka på ett ställe på skärmen (påminner om FPC keramiska sensor), därmed inte kan verifiera sig på samma gång man exemeplvis öppnar sin bank-app. Synaptics lösning fungerar dessutom bara med OLED skärm.
Fingerprint Cards In-Display (som enligt läckor kommer massproduceras till Oneplus 6, och kanske fler? Samsung S9?)
Fingerprints has developed an ultrasonic sensing technology with the objective of enabling fingerprints to be captured anywhere on the display of a smartphone or any device. Fingerprints is expecting to engage with key customers in the first half of 2018 to further develop the technology and to bring it to mass market.
An increasing amount of the company’s R&D resources has been reallocated from capacitive sensors in mobiles to other technologies, one of which is In-Display sensing technology. Fingerprints started the development of In-Display fingerprint sensing in late 2016. All technology development projects have challenges, such as achieving cost efficient volume production and a fair price level, but above all they create opportunities. By applying the unique ultrasonic sensing technology that Fingerprints is developing, fingerprint sensing will become even more convenient for the end-user. Fingerprints’ objective is to enable users to authenticate themselves by placing their fingers anywhere on the display panel of a smartphone, hence removing the need for a physical button. This is also in contrast with other In-Display sensing technologies where the fingerprint capture can only be done in a small dedicated area of the display.
The new technology brings several distinct ADVANTAGES such as:
The complete front side of the device can be used for the display and still incorporate a fingerprint sensing functionality, for superior screen-to-phone ratio.
The entire surface can be used for fingerprint sensing. There is no need to highlight specific areas of the device, neither visually nor physically.
A fingerprint can be captured on different surfaces, including glass and metal. The technology works very well under all different cover glass thicknesses. It also works when the finger is wet or when the finger is submerged under water.
A unique technology which works equally well with LCD panels as well as OLED panels.
