Samsung Display recently demonstrated and launched the world’s first OLED panel with a built-in fingerprint sensor and heart rate sensor – Sensor OLED. Samsung says it can significantly reduce the complexity of a phone or tablet by integrating biometric and health-tracking sensors.
Samsung Display said that this is the industry’s first OLED panel with built-in fingerprint and heart rate tracking technology. The built-in light-sensing OPD (Organic Photodiode) means that companies no longer need to install a separate sensor under the OLED panel during the production process. The unique fingerprint sensor can not only reduce the space occupied by the device, but also reduce the cost.
Samsung Display says this light-sensing technology is built into each pixel of the new OLED panel, so it can simultaneously sense fingerprints or heart rate information from multiple fingers.
This enables the device to provide more accurate biometric authentication and measure blood pressure. The new OLED panel can also simultaneously measure the user’s stress level.
Samsung says the technology will be available in future Galaxy premium phones and tablets.
It is learned from reports that Samsung has also launched its first roll-to-roll OLED panel for mobile devices, measuring 12.4 inches.
