The Future of Smartphones: In-Glass Fingerprint Readers
The future of smartphones: in-glass fingerprint readers, eliminating bezels. Clear ID: an optical sensor under display glass. Promising technology for fully bezel-less phones.
00:00:00 The video showcases the future of smartphones with in-glass fingerprint readers, eliminating the need for bezels. It discusses the challenges faced in relocating the fingerprint reader on bezel-less phones.
🔑 The video demonstrates the use of an in-glass fingerprint reader to unlock a phone, which is considered a glimpse into the future of smartphones.
📱 In recent years, fingerprint readers have been relocated to the back or sides of phones to accommodate full screen designs.
👉 The concept of bezel-less smartphones is gaining popularity, but it poses challenges for the placement of the fingerprint reader.
00:01:03 The video explains the in-glass fingerprint reader, known as Clear ID. It is a fingerprint reader under the display glass, using an optical sensor in the vivo x20 plus ud phone.
🔍 Synaptics has developed a fingerprint reader called Clear ID that is placed underneath the display glass.
📱 The Vivo X20 Plus UD is the first phone to incorporate this new in-glass fingerprint sensor.
👆 To use the fingerprint reader, users need to enroll their fingerprint in the software and wait for an indicator light to turn on before placing their finger on the sensor.
00:02:02 This video explains the in-glass fingerprint reader found in phones with OLED displays. It uses a pulse of light to read your fingerprint reflected under the glass, with no impact on screen performance. The sensor can be seen at the right angle but is not noticeable.
🔍 The in-glass fingerprint reader requires an OLED display and shining a light on the fingerprint for it to reflect back and be read.
⚡ The reader works by lighting up the finger, capturing the reflection on the optical sensor, and quickly reading the fingerprint in under a second and a half.
👀 When the screen is off and viewed at the right angle with the right amount of light, the rectangular sensor beneath the display can be seen.
00:03:05 The In-Glass Fingerprint Reader is a promising technology that is faster than Face ID but slower than Touch ID. It has the potential to cover larger areas of the phone's display.
💡 The in-glass fingerprint reader is a promising technology that is subtle and invisible when the display is turned on.
⏱️ The speed of the in-glass fingerprint reader is currently around a second to a second and a half, slower than touch ID but faster than face ID.
📱 The future of the in-glass fingerprint reader is not limited to a small area, but could cover a larger portion of the phone's display, offering more convenience and flexibility.
00:04:03 The In-Glass Fingerprint Reader is a promising biometric authentication technology that brings us closer to fully bezel-less phones. It may be available in mainstream phones as early as next year.
The in-glass fingerprint reader provides ideal biometric authentication.
The first generation of the in-glass fingerprint reader is promising and brings us closer to a fully bezel-less phone.
Big manufacturers like LG, Apple, and Samsung may include a more refined version of the in-glass fingerprint reader in their phones as early as next year.
