According to rumors, Apple intends to introduce an innovative fingerprint scanner into the new iPhone 8, which will be built into the smartphone screen. But on the way the developers have a serious problem related to the brightness of the display panel.
A source in the industry claims that the biometric module integrated in the display results in a brightness imbalance. The area with the scanner looks much brighter than the rest of the screen. That's why this scanner may not be in the Galaxy Note smartphone 8.
The illustration to the article was created in a graphic editor, however, it is alleged that it roughly reflects this problem. The area under which the fingerprint scanner is located is too bright, and manufacturers can not balance the brightness of the displays with the built-in fingerprint scanner.
At the moment there is no information about how widespread the problem is, but it is suggested that the manufacturer has already managed to create a prototype display, the brightness of which is perfectly balanced.
Only while the percentage of rejects in the manufacture of screens with an integrated fingerprint scanner remains too high.
According to rumors, the technology will not be ready for mass production before the end of this year. Perhaps, its commercial embodiment we will see only next year.
Last week, we wrote that the first integrated into the screen fingerprint scanner was demonstrated by Chinese manufacturers. In social networks, even appeared a video of a smartphone vivo, which allegedly unblocked by tapping your finger on the display.
