Since the major smartphone manufacturers have adopted the 18:9 full screen design, the fingerprint recognition unlocking function will have to be set on the back of the phone. Beginning in 2018, manufacturers have officially released smart phones with screen fingerprint sensors to achieve frontal fingerprint recognition and full screen. This trend will increase the amount of fingerprint recognition sensors under the screen, and estimate the use of screen fingerprints. The number of smartphones that identify sensors will exceed 100 million in 2019.
According to the market report released by market research firm IHS Markit, the shipment of smartphones imported into the screen fingerprint sensor will reach at least 9 million units in 2018, and will reach 100 million units in 2019. The fingerprint recognition market under the screen will continue to grow until 2020, and will be dominated by Samsung and China's vivo, Huawei and Xiaomi. In March 2018, Chinese brands vivo and Huawei have launched related products. It is expected that in the second half of 2018, more terminal products will be introduced into the screen for fingerprint recognition and sensing technology.
According to Calvin Hsieh, director of IHS Markit's touch and user interface research, the introduction of this technology has become a new trend with the recent launch of several smartphones imported into the screen fingerprint sensor by vivo and Huawei. Also because Samsung has not released whether to introduce the technology in the latest Galaxy Note 9 mobile phone, this will also put a lot of pressure on Samsung Electronics. The IHS Markit report predicts that if Samsung confirms that Samsung's fingerprint recognition sensor will be imported into Galaxy Note 9, the shipment of smartphones introduced into the technology in 2018 will increase from the current estimated 9 million units to 20 million units.
Since the net profit of offline fingerprint recognition sensing technology is much higher than the traditional fingerprint identification solution, almost all fingerprint identification IC manufacturers are interested in investing in development related solutions. On the other hand, at present, this technology can only be imported into the AMOLED panel, so Samsung will dominate the field of fingerprint recognition and sensing technology by virtue of its high mastery of AMOLED production technology. The influence of China's BOE is second.
Since Apple first introduced Touch ID on the iPhone in 2013, it became the first vendor to use fingerprint recognition as the main biometric technology. Subsequently, in 2015, fingerprint recognition was also introduced into the Android system, which led to the rapid growth of fingerprint recognition sensors in the market. In 2017, smartphones imported into fingerprint identification applications accounted for more than 60% of total shipments.
In recent years, in order to pursue a better visual experience, consumers have become the darling of the new market. Therefore, many manufacturers have begun to set the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. Now the screen fingerprint sensor will solve this problem, let the fingerprint sensing device back to the front of the phone. Through the screen fingerprint recognition sensor, the mobile phone can simultaneously take into account the 18:9 or higher ratio of the full screen display design and the front fingerprint recognition function.
