The Qualcomm Fingerprint Sensors will continue support for an under glass sensors that can be placed underneath a phone’s display and will enable users to register their fingerprints by pressing on the screen. That’s not all, Qualcomm Fingerprint sensor will also support alternatives that work with glass and metal, therefore, allowing the manufacturers to put up an extra layer of material over the phones.
Since the Qualcomm Fingerprint sensor operates on Ultrasonic, the sound waves produced can still penetrate through the glass and alloy up to a certain thickness. Qualcomm alleges that the new Fingerprint sensor can scan over an OLED layer of up to 1200 nm display masses while the breadth is 800nm for Glass and 525 nm for aluminum. The Fingerprint sensor can further be used underwater because it supports IP68.
Qualcomm has revealed the Fingerprint sensor and the same is assumed on smartphones beginning from the first half of 2018. The new Fingerprint sensor will help companies save on space as opposed to the conventional fingerprint sensor and it will further help them improve the aesthetics of the phone without the requirement to bother about the fingerprint sensor placement.
On a similar note, Vivo has been rumored to be operating on a smartphone with a Fingerprint sensor into the display. The equivalent can also be seen in the video of an unannounced Vivo smartphone that surfaced recently.
