Fingerprint Cards has launched FPC1610, its first optical fingerprint sensor, to be mounted under the display of smartphones.The firm said the new FPC1610 sensor brings superior image quality, leading to higher biometric performance. In addition, it features a very slim form factor, enabling the sensor to be placed between the battery and the display. This gives customers more design freedom without impacting the thickness or battery size of the device.”We are very proud of the launch of our new FPC1610, as its strong differentiators will give us a unique position in the growing in-display fingerprint sensor market”, comments Ted Hansson, SVP Business Line Mobile at Fingerprints.FPC1610 prototypes are now being evaluated by smartphone manufacturers and Fingerprints expects the first smartphones using FPC1610 to be launched in 2019.
