Vivo preemptive iPhone and Samsung, the first to achieve invisible fingerprint identification

Yesterday (28) days, the 2017 World Mobile Congress - Shanghai (MWC) officially opened, vivo as a terminal manufacturer, brush a sense of presence, took out the screen fingerprint identification of "vivo invisible fingerprint" function.

It is reported that, vivo stealth fingerprint is a joint Qualcomm research and development, and its principle is Qualcomm's latest third generation of ultrasonic identification program. According to vivo introduction, Qualcomm third generations of ultrasound can penetrate more than 1.2 mm thickness of metal, OLED soft screen, glass, plastic and other objects, and thus can be achieved through the screen will be able to identify the unlock. In addition, the vivo stealth fingerprint also supports underwater unlock and provides better conditions for the full screen.

All along, the screen fingerprint identification is believed to be equipped with two flagship products in iPhone 8 and Samsung Note 8. Earlier this year, apple won an interactive screen patent with an infrared diode, plus Apple's previous acquisition of LuxVue technology, which would be able to fuse traditional fingerprint sensors directly into the screen.

Samsung also said it would have to be equipped with screen fingerprinting before it was launched, but in the end, S8 had to choose to give up.

Today, with the iPhone 8 to cancel the Home key messages, one after another, coupled with the birth of iPhone 10th anniversary node, deeper apple to push the screen fingerprint recognition credibility.

Although temporarily not sure whether iPhone equipped, but why fingerprint identification is a hot spot this year, it is not difficult to understand, first of all, this has a great relationship with the screen and screen share.

For the existing mobile phone products, fingerprint identification has become the product standard, but the pressing position of fingerprint identification can be divided into two types: one is the Home key, the other is a mobile phone on the back, of course, there are very few on the mobile phone side, such as SONY.

However, the overall screen and ultra narrow border under the tide, resulting in a narrow frame of the phone, the front even the Home key I'm afraid will be canceled, the screen fingerprint unlock has become a matter of course.

Just imagine, when you want to unlock when you can press at the corner of the screen, what will be the experience?. Not to mention the security of screen fingerprinting, because it identifies multiple fingerprints, while penetrating glass, OLED screens and metals, and even underwater recognition, is perfectly ok.

Since screen fingerprinting has so many advantages, how far is the industry going?

A good news is that both upstream supply chain and terminal manufacturers are vigorously promoting, but even if vivo joint Qualcomm has been first achieved on mobile phones, commercial production is still a problem.

In the upstream supply chain level to do fingerprint identification vendors, two were praised by the industry, one is Synaptics, and the other is the domestic top technology. S8 had planned to use a Synaptics solution, and the beginning of the Department of top technology also demonstrates using the AMOLED display panel, and the fingerprint identification function integrated into the screen, as long as the user on the device's display of the "designated area" touch, can complete fingerprint recognition.

Believe that the second half of this year, we will obviously see the screen fingerprint identification technology has been a large number of display and application. Intelligent mobile phone into the iris / facial / fingerprint 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%.
