We expect the adoption of ultrasonic fingerpaint sensors may gradually increase thanks to the development of COE OLED panels.
July 28, 2023
Key Takeaways:
- Due to higher costs, ultrasonic FoD (Fingerprint on Display) is mainly found in flagship models like Samsung Galaxy S, vivo iQoo, vivo X Fold, and MEIZU 20 series.
- COE technology's evolution is favoring ultrasonic FoD development. COE introduces BM and black PDL on OLED panels, potentially hindering optical FoD. Expected COE adoption on smartphone displays could further promote ultrasonic FoD growth.
- Qualcomm exclusively offers all ultrasonic FoD solutions, while Goodix is also possibly working on this technology.
