Samsung engineering an under panel tech for iPhone Face ID
Samsung is allegedly working on under panel technology design to hide the Face ID module under the display in its future smartphones. Samsung Display developing an under panel tech for Apple and possibly a provider of this tech for futuristic Apple phones.
According to ‘The Elec’ the new technology will first roll out to Samsung’s Fold Series of 2023. Reportedly Samsung is collaborating with Canada’s OTI Luminotics on this new technology, Which includes “a metal patterning layer that uses cathode mask material.”
How this under-display Face ID works?
In the OLED panels, the light is emitted from the emission layer at the bottom and goes to the cathode at the top. This Cathode should be transparent for the under panel tech to make it work.
The company is going to use an open metal mask of Mg-Ag material to develop a transparent cathode, the pattern for preparing the light emission and transmission from the bottom source.
Face ID is not the only technology to be rumored to be coming under the hood. Present rumors are also suggesting that Touch ID could return to 2023, with its placement under the display rather than on the Home Button.
Hole under the display, this technology is already been used by its Galaxy series for its on-screen camera while Apple could apply them in the iPhone 14 series launching this year later.
This under-panel Face ID will hide the sensor when it is not in use. This tech will also work similarly to the under panel camera that the Samsung display has presently applied to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 that was launched last year.
LG working on its futuristic smartphones and is also in the process to develop an under-panel camera technology, aiming to increase the light transmittance rate of the hole by over 40%. We will be reviewing this Face-ID in the future, till then keep reading and keep boasting.
