3D sensing VS screen fingerprint, surging or suppressed
According to vendor vendors, more and more mobile phone and component factory layout 3D sensing technology, as the fingerprint recognition solutions under the screen, in addition to the mainland mobile phone brand factory VIVO attitude is more clear, will still be under the screen fingerprinting technology to To achieve the purpose of strategic risk diversification, most international and Chinese mobile phone brand manufacturers hold a wait-and-see attitude towards the application of fingerprinting on the screen and face the test of market acceptance in the future. In the field of 3D sensor technology, Qualcomm and Wonderscape jointly develop 3D sensor Technology is gradually narrowing the gap with Apple, according to expectations, Qualcomm 3D sensor chip shipments will be delivered in the first quarter of 2018 to handset manufacturers implantation, orfe and Huawei are also developing their own 3D optical and sensor modules, The entire 3D sensing technology market will usher in the explosion in 2018.
On the screen fingerprint recognition, according to sources, Synaptics screen fingerprint recognition program has been adopted by a top handset manufacturers, the 2018 CES on-site demonstration of smart phones with on-screen fingerprint recognition, Synaptics Clear ID screen fingerprint sensor Designed for full-screen smartphones, the screen is woken up intelligently only when needed, and the mobile phone maker is said to be VIVO, which is now mass-producing and will be available soon.
In fact, the cost is high at the present stage, regardless of whether it is a 3D sensing or an in-screen fingerprinting solution. It is bound to exert a lot of pressure on the global mobile phone brand factory that is intending to reduce costs. It is difficult to import both functions at the same time Similar solutions, the current market trend has clearly moved closer to the 3D sensor solutions, including the international and mainland mobile phone brands prefer 3D sensor solutions, if the market trend remains unchanged, the future of the market fingerprint identification solutions under the screen Space will be limited.
Up to Apple, not just 3D sensing technology
Throughout the global competition in high-end smart phones, due to the extensive Apple layout, with strong resources, to open up the upstream and downstream supply chain context, the ability to integrate software and hardware, making 3D sensing face recognition, face payment, face unlock And other functions tend to improve, although Apple is not the first to launch fingerprint recognition capabilities of mobile phone brand manufacturers, but in the global mobile phone war situation often play a late starter, leading the vane's role.
In contrast, the vast majority of Android camp mobile phone brand manufacturers layout of poor management, especially in the upcoming 2017 in the more difficult environment, such as the iPhone X with a special full screen, Face ID, wireless charging capabilities, Andrews Camp mobile phone manufacturers is difficult to quickly cut into the current only just in the trend of full screen with the concept of packaging new machine, brought little change, in fact, this is the cell phone oligopoly times must face the status quo as Android camp manufacturers Limited by the mid-level and low-end smart phone war situation, the product is difficult to differentiate, hard to have the same resources and chips into Apple 3D sensors and other new technologies, can only look forward to more diverse solutions appear.In this case, Upstream mobile phone related companies together to launch one-stop solutions to help mobile phone brands quickly catch up with the trend of 3D sensor applications.
According to supply chain vendors, currently including Qualcomm, Wonder King Optoelectronics, Sun Life, and other play the role of pin through the lead by Qualcomm to provide algorithms, Qi Jing Optoelectronics to provide DOE / Projector / NIR Sensor, Trulli provide NIR / Projector / RGB assembly, multi-party cooperation The introduction of 3D imaging sensor technology solutions and access to the mainland mobile phone brands favor, the industry came OPPO, millet, etc. have been approved to adopt, is expected in the development of 3D sensor technology applications to Apple to catch up.
According to Da-En-Guan Lin Enping pointed out that, in response to the market demand for 3D sensing, Dali also put relevant research, the current launch of the 3D sensor lens has three solutions, including all-glass, plastic and glass mixed lens mode + P), full plastic lens with auto zoom (AF), ultimately depends on the mobile phone brand customer needs and design, if the rear lens need to zoom, then add 3D sensor lens, each phone will be equipped with 3 or 4 Lens, cost and technical difficulty will be further enhanced.
Overall, driven by the iPhone X sales, mobile phone 3D sensing technology has become a new trend, overseas and domestic mobile phone brands are catching up and speeding up. With the application of 3D sensing technology, mobile phones will be made Equipped with lens growth, camera specifications are padded, related components manufacturers have the opportunity to rely on the rapid rise of 3D sensor business opportunities.In addition, the iPhone X shaped full screen, wireless charging function driven by 2018 domestic handset manufacturers and Supply chain manufacturers will usher in more opportunities for innovation, more supply chain components plant will stand out, but failed to successfully enter the vendor vendors will also be out.
