As mobile phone screens develop towards full screen, under-screen fingerprint recognition has become a new trend in mobile phone design. Although under-screen fingerprint recognition technology accounts for only about 3% of the mobile phone market penetration rate in 2018, the outside world originally speculated that under-screen fingerprint recognition penetration rate may rise to 10%-15% in 2019. However, due to the more mature technology and continuous improvement in costs, Chen Yanyin, an analyst at TrendForce of market research institution, pointed out that under-screen fingerprint recognition has the opportunity to exceed 20% in 2019.
Currently, the two major under-screen fingerprint recognition solutions are optical under-screen fingerprint recognition technology and ultrasonic/ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint recognition technology. Among them, optical under-screen fingerprint recognition technology has developed for a long time and has high technological maturity. There are many suppliers of supply chain components from chips to optical lenses. From cost structure to supply chain integrity, they have advantages and are developing rapidly recently.
Taiwanese lens manufacturers including Advanced Light, Xinjuke, and Optoelectronics, a subsidiary of Yongwei Investment Holdings, are actively entering the optical under-screen fingerprint recognition supply chain and providing related lens products. Daliguang, which is positioned in high-end models, also stated that it is interested in accepting orders under reasonable prices. Currently, there are major mobile phone manufacturers including Samsung and OPPO, etc. that import optical under-screen fingerprint recognition into mid-range mobile phones.
ultrasonic/ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint recognition solution is headed by Qualcomm. Compared with optical under-screen fingerprint recognition technology, ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint solution has developed lately. Modules have been shipped at the end of 2017 and are officially commercialized in 2018. It has the advantages of strong penetration, high anti-fouling power, and can be recognized even if the fingers are damp.
In addition to the Taiwanese touch panel manufacturer GIS-KY actively cooperate with the development, mainland OFILM has two major solutions: optical under-screen fingerprint recognition and ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint recognition. However, the cost is high and the suppliers are fewer. Some major mobile phone manufacturers including Samsung have imported ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint recognition using high-end flagship mobile phones.
▼Comparison of optical/ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint recognition solutions:
Since Samsung has adopted the above two under-screen fingerprint recognition technologies on different grades of models at this stage, it has led to the outside world that the level of ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint technology seems to be higher than that of optical under-screen fingerprint recognition technology.
However, Chen Yanyin emphasized . If the timeline is extended to 2017, when optical under-screen fingerprint recognition was still an emerging technology, it is actually not certain which technology has a higher level. After all, both technologies are currently considered emerging technologies, and a new generation of optical under-screen fingerprint recognition is also being developed. How the application-side map moves in the future depends on observation.
According to the data of TrendForce's Turban Industry Research Institute, , under-screen fingerprint recognition technology accounts for only 3% of the mobile phone fingerprint recognition market in 2018. It was originally estimated that the combined proportion of ultrasonic and optical under-screen fingerprint recognition technology in 2019 will increase to 10%-15%. However, with the establishment of the direction of full-screen mobile phones and under-screen fingerprint recognition technology, related technologies are becoming increasingly mature and costs continue to improve. Analysts believe that the penetration rate of under-screen fingerprint recognition technology in the mobile phone market in 2019 has the opportunity to reach 20%.
