Apple is developing 'Face ID' without a camera on the display and 'Touch ID' that allows fingerprint authentication just by touching the display



Apple adopted the fingerprint authentication function '

Touch ID ' for the first time in the iPhone 5s that appeared in 2013, and then adopted ' Face ID ' as a face authentication function to replace Touch ID in the iPhone X that appeared in 2017. Did. It is reported that Apple is working on developing something that is completely hidden at the bottom of the display for Touch ID and Face ID, which are used in the latest iPhones and iPads even at the time of writing the article.

Speaking of Touch ID, a fingerprint authentication function, by placing your finger on the home button at the bottom of the display, you can unlock the terminal or perform password authentication such as the App Store. .

On the other hand, the iPhone X, which adopted Face ID for the first time, has abolished the home button at the bottom of the display. Instead, a notch (notch) has been added to the top of the display so that you can use Face ID to identify the user's face using the TrueDepth camera installed here.



In addition, the 4th generation iPad Air, which does not have Face ID, has Touch ID integrated into the top button, and fingerprint authentication is possible by placing your finger on the button.

Rumors have been circulating for several years about the possibility that Apple is developing a next-generation Touch ID that enables fingerprint authentication simply by touching the display.

In addition, Samsung has already adopted a fingerprint authentication system that enables fingerprint authentication simply by touching the display.



Naver user yeux1122 reported that Apple is developing a next-generation Touch ID that enables fingerprint authentication simply by touching such a display. According to Apple-related media 9to5Mac, yeux1122 is a leaker who has accurately reported Apple-related leak information.

According to yeux1122, a source at a development component manufacturer, Apple has recently 'made some progress' in developing in-display Touch ID. Sources say the in-display Touch ID is likely to be released in the next two to three years from the fledgling new Dynamic Island , and the technology will likely combine things like short-wave infrared and optical systems. , It seems that Apple has already acquired 12 related patents.

In addition, unlike the existing fingerprint authentication sensor, the touch ID with built-in display will be able to detect the user's vein pattern, measure blood oxygen saturation, and measure pulse. . In addition, it seems to detect whether the user is wearing gloves or whether the user's fingers are wet, etc., and perform fingerprint authentication according to the situation.

In addition, the parts manufacturer with whom the information source works has single-element sensors (photodiodes, phototransistors, photosensitive elements, etc.) and multi-element sensors (complementary metal oxide semiconductor arrays, photodiode arrays) to improve recognition speed. etc.).

In addition, from the patent application submitted by Apple to the US Patent and Trademark Office in February 2017, it was clear that Apple was developing a sensor that enables fingerprint authentication simply by touching the display.

Furthermore, in December 2017, Apple's supplier Synaptics succeeded in developing a fingerprint authentication sensor that works well even if it is embedded under the display.

In addition to this, trusted mobile industry analyst Ross Young points out that Apple is working on a next-generation Face ID that completely hides the camera below the display. However, Mr. Young expects that it will appear after 2025 due to delays in sensor development.




It is possible to hide the camera at the bottom of the display, and OPPO has already succeeded in a demonstration experiment of 'installing the camera so as to hide it at the bottom of the display'. However, OPPO admits that embedding the camera at the bottom of the display will reduce the image quality of the camera.
