Synaptics Brings World’s First In-Display Fingerprint Sensors for Smartphones to Mass Production with a Top Five OEM
December 12 2017 - 6:00AM
Synaptics Incorporated (NASDAQ:SYNA), the leading developer of
human interface solutions, today announced mass production with a
top five OEM of its new Clear ID™ FS9500 family of optical
in-display fingerprint sensors. Designed for smartphones with
infinity displays, Synaptics’ Clear ID in-display fingerprint
sensors magically activate in the display only when needed. Clear
ID is faster than alternative biometrics such as 3D facial,
highly-secure with SentryPoint™ technology, and very convenient
with one-touch/one-step biometric authentication directly in the
touchscreen display area of smartphones.
The new Synaptics Clear ID optical fingerprint sensors deliver
one-touch high-resolution scanning through full cover glass and
enable sleek, button-free, bezel-free infinity displays. Synaptics’
high-performance Clear ID FS9500 optical solution excels with wet,
dry and cold fingers, and since it’s protected by glass, is
durable, scratchproof and waterproof. In-display fingerprint
technology allows users to securely unlock the device in situations
including while it’s sitting on the table, at any angle, or while
in a car mount. Synaptics’ Clear ID performance is twice as fast as
3D facial recognition and requires only one touch to access your
smartphone.
Serious Security: Synaptics optical fingerprint
sensors are available with SentryPoint™ technology, offering OEMs a
wide-range of unique and highly secure authentication features
including: Quantum Matcher™ for adaptive fingerprint template
matching and authentication; PurePrint™ anti-spoof technology to
examine fingerprint images using unique artificial intelligence
technology to distinguish between spoofs and actual fingers; and
SecureLink™ which combines support for TLS protocol with ECC
authentication and AES encryption.
“Consumers prefer fingerprint authentication on the front of the
phone, and with the industry quickly shifting to bezel-free OLED
infinity displays, the natural placement of the fingerprint sensor
is in the display itself,” said Kevin Barber, senior vice president
and general manager, Mobile Division, Synaptics. “Synaptics’ Clear
ID fingerprint sensors are faster, more convenient, and more secure
than alternative biometrics, and this optical technology represents
a major innovation shift and opportunity for the smartphone
market.”
