RedMi: Manages to integrate optical fingerprint detector under an LCD screen

Η redmi became the first company in the world to manage to integrate optical fingerprint detector under one LCD screen.

ΟUnder-display fingerprint scanners have made their appearance in the last couple of years, with the vivo to be the first company to officially use them in ViVo X20 Plus UD which released him January of 2018.

Since then, this technology has been widely adopted by all manufacturers, but there was a limitation, as it could not be used in IPS LCD screen due to the screen structure.

Today its director Redmi, Lu Weibing, announced that his company has successfully integrated a fingerprint scanner under a LCD screen, and showed us in a video to work on one original Notes redmi 8 Pro .

The biggest problem with LCD screens was their backlighting, which negatively affects the proper operation of the optical fingerprint sensor.

However, its Research and Development department Redmi has managed to overcome this problem, and the company is now ready to move this feature to its new devices.

Ο Weibing revealed that the problem with LCD screens was overcome by the innovative use of an infrared film of high-permeability material that allows the scanner (camera) to "see" the finger.

But there was no mention of him Weibing about what will be the first RedMi device to be released with this new technology.

It is almost impossible to see this technology applied in the future Redmi Note 9 and Redmi K30 Pro, but it is very likely that we will see this technology applied to its next Smartphones redmi that will release the 2020.
