Users may be able to utilise any section of the display to unlock their phones with their fingerprints thanks to Samsung OLED 2.0, the company's next-generation OLED technology. The South Korean corporation has been a pioneer in display technology, setting the bar for in-display fingerprint identification and OLED screens. With the Galaxy S10 line of smartphones, it introduced an ultrasonic in-screen scanner for the first time. By converting the whole OLED display of the phone into one huge sensor that can identify many fingerprints simultaneously, Samsung's fingerprint ID is now poised to become safe – almost 2.5 billion times secure by 2025.
At the International Meeting on Information Display (IMID) in August, Samsung announced their plans for an All-in-One OLED 2.0 display. However, ISORG, a French organisation that specialises in Organic Photo Diode (OPD) technology, has now described the technology behind the upcoming iteration of fingerprint sensing. Samsung Display will deploy a new kind of its multi-fingerprint detecting technology for OLED 2.0 screens on smartphones, according to ISORG CEO Dieter May in a recent interview with OLED-Info.
May said that the present single fingerprint scanner is safe as well, with a minuscule fraction of 1 percent risk that someone else might access your phone through it. But a multi-fingerprint sensor would significantly increase the security of a smartphone because our phones store sensitive information, which frequently includes banking details.
"Using OPD technology, you can either utilise four finger authentication to increase security 2500 million times over the single finger version, or you may employ "point to open" security on only one or a few selected apps. Before starting the app, the app even asks for your identity when you touch it, May continued.
While Samsung may release their version of the same technology by 2025, ISORG claimed that their multi-fingerprint sensor technology is currently ready. During their keynote talk at IMID, Samsung Display did not provide any particular timeframe information. Samsung Display CEO JS Choi had stated in his address that "we will soon commercialise the fingerprint sensor available on the entire screen" as a result of this innovation and development (of a high performance OPD).
