Apple launches a variety of new products unveiled, face recognition function will stimulate IR LED Market

The early morning of September 13th (Beijing time), apple held a new conference in California at the annual fall in Cupertino headquarters Apple Park. In this conference, apple officially released Apple watch 3, Apple TV 4K iPhone 8/ 8 version box, Plus and iPhone X.

Apple TV 4K has two aspects of improvement, technical support of HDR +4K display technology, also supports the Dolby 4K projector, in the interface design of UI is more lively and bright.

The iPhone 8 series of positive and iPhone before 7 series, interface and key layout did not change, even the design of the rear lens like the previous generation. IPhone 8 is 4.7 inches, iPhone Plus 8 is 5.5 inches, the biggest change is to return to the era of the 4S shell design, iPhone glass of course, wireless charging and waterproof and dustproof support.

In the design, iPhone 8 iPhone (4.7 inches) and 8 Plus (5.5 inches) with double glass material, and the use of aircraft grade aluminum material, glass solid is higher, and a brand new Retina display, greatly improving the color display, Ture and Tone display screen to ensure color standard. In iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus processor using A11 Bionic six core processor, better than A10 25%, GPU increased by 30%, consumption fell 50%.

In the camera iPhone 8 with 12 million pixel camera, using the new CMOS optical image stabilization, the picture is more delicate, better portrait, in which iPhone 8 Plus also provides a F1.8 aperture dual perturbation, in addition equipped with ISP also enhance image processing capabilities, pictures in the dark and light environment performance will be better than before video recordings, support 1080P/240Hz to refresh the screen smoother. In addition iPhone 8 AR in augmented reality can achieve more, especially in the photo, you can also play AR games.

Of course, as the one more thing is the last stage of iPhone X (Ten), Apple's official said this is a smart mobile phone in the next 10 years (the future of the smartphone). IPhone X conducted a comprehensive upgrade in the design and operation experience, compared to the iPhone 8 is really a big surprise, iPhone X using double-sided glass material, the use of Super Retina screen, the screen size is 5.8 inches screen, using OLED screen material, screen resolution of 2436* 1125, the pixel density is 458PPi, and the "shaped screen design, almost all the front screen. Using A11 processor, built-in iPhone X engine to achieve the facial nerve to unlock the Face ID function, it does not wear glasses and hats, hair consistency does not affect the unlock, so iPhone X Touch ID Home also canceled the physical key, and using Face to replace ID (Face ID Apple will support Pay and third party payment).

IPhoneX's face recognition FaceID and the general mobile phone can not, through FaceID, iPhone can also detect whether users eye watching iPhone display, at the same time, iPhoneX also has a 3D induction function. IPhoneX "bangs" which includes structure of optical transmitter, optical receiver structure, distance sensor, ambient light sensor, front camera and so on. Structured optical transmitter module is composed of 6 components, from 10 different suppliers, including active filter, wafer alignment equipment, optical element, diffractive optical element, VCSEL and epitaxial wafer; four components of structured light receiving module includes about six suppliers: infrared lens, filters, and CMOS image sensor (CIS 1 million 400 thousand) the two pixel sensor can accurately identify the three-dimensional structure of the face, it is impossible to use a photo to unlock.

The iPhone X brow

In the iPhpne X front at the top of more than 3 million recognition, and at night you can also identify, by scanning the facial information for facial recognition to unlock, in the conventional mode of operation, as long as in the box on the edge of a Siri can be exhaled, and then draw a breath will be able to multi task interface.

The camera is equipped with dual iPhone X 12 million pixel wide angle lens, with F1.8/F2.4 aperture, and supports optical image stabilization, Quad-LED TrueTone flash, also supports AR augmented reality technology.

Intelligent mobile phone into the iris / face recognition, 3D Sensing technology and other new features, will stimulate the infrared LED market a new wave of explosive growth, the relevant manufacturers LED, infrared laser and infrared optical sensor will also benefit. According to dramexchange LED Consulting Research Center (LEDinside) released the latest "2017 LED infrared / laser and infrared sensing component application market report shows that in 2017 the infrared LED and infrared laser components will reach $145 million in the iris and face recognition application market size (about 998 million yuan), to 2025 will reach 827 million dollars (about 5 billion 690 million yuan), 2017 to 2025 compound growth rate as high as 24%.
