Passed Samsung Note 9 screen fingerprint is more expensive than Face ID

Gathering micro-messages, the Korean Herald quoted industry news on the 22nd that Samsung Display has prepared 3-4 solutions that allow Samsung to embed fingerprint-sensing sensors in the home screen. One of the proposals has entered a phase of careful investigation. It is estimated that the final decision can be made at the end of March. Samsung Display is improving fingerprint scanning technology for Note 9's flexible AMOLED panel. It is estimated that there should be enough time for the technology to reach Samsung's expectations before it is released at the end of August.

Why does Samsung want to embed a fingerprint sensor in the screen? Analysts point to the difficulty of finding the location of the fingerprint recognition module. This should be a big incentive. Note 8: The fingerprint recognition module is placed horizontally on the left side of the dual lens on the back of the phone. This caused great inconvenience. Although the latest Galaxy S9 smartphone installed the fingerprint module under the double lens to solve the problem, it was still placed on the back of the mobile phone. This could not increase the battery space and extend the endurance.

Juss Hong, director of IHS Markit, said that Apple should continue to use 3D facial recognition technology, but Samsung and Huawei will adopt fingerprint recognition technology embedded in the screen. However, due to the complexity of technology, fingerprint sensor technology embedded in the screen , Will be more expensive than Apple's Face ID technology for $15.2 per handset.

A director of a biometric solution developer warns that the screen with embedded fingerprint recognition sensors will have a low yield. Most people in the industry believe that there is no possibility of mass production for smartphones using this type of screen.
