Fingerprint sensor under the screen will appear next year 2018

Synaptics, the company that handles touch data on millions of laptops and phones, has announced that it has begun mass-producing fingerprint sensors under the screen. With Clear ID, this feature will work like the hand sensor on the Home button that you still see on Samsung Galaxy S phones, before the Galaxy S8 and iPhone X were released. Users only need to authenticate. by touching a certain area on the screen.

Last year, Synaptics also announced the FS9100 fingerprint sensor. At that time, this technology was just a breakthrough on paper and not yet applied to actual products. Later, there were many problems when applied, forcing Samsung to change at the last minute.

Samsung wants the front of the phone to have no bezel to fill the screen but does not want to remove authentication with the fingerprint sensor off the front. The built-in sensor is not as planned so Samsung has to put it in a weird place behind the smartphone for 2017.

Clear ID FS9500 is different. Now it has gone into production and is ready to cooperate with the top '5 OEM'. Candidates can be Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Oppo / Vivo or Xiaomi.

The collaborative history between Synaptics and Samsung and the two sides use a word of 'infinity screen' on both sides (Samsung calls the Galaxy S8 and Note is phones with 'infinite screens'; Synaptics also uses the word The 'infinity OLED screen' shows that both will probably work together to solve the problem from the previous year. It is also believed that Samsung will quit Synaptics, so it is not sure what. Xiaomi is also a bright candidate because it is not afraid to apply new technologies as well as previous non-bezel Mi Mix.

Although any company will cooperate with Synaptics, it can be sure that the fingerprint sensor under the screen will appear in 2018. Direct authentication on the screen will be a beautiful prospect so the demand for technology This is always not missing.

Expected on the flagship phones in 2017 but failed, maybe we will enjoy the results next year.
