360 ° full touch sense identification, fast fingerprint identification, and support allows users to wake up from cold screen, wake up, to unlock a completed fingerflashTM patented technology.
The Meizu released MX4PRO is a summit contact fingerprint identification chip.
In addition, the top of the top on September 12, 2014, TPK launched the fingerprint identification and touch screen in the world IFS technology. IFS technology is a full name "InvisiblefingerPrintSensor technology. It is different from traditional modular fingerprint sensors, mobile phone manufacturers do not need to open the fingerprint sensor module on the front panel or rear shell, but to hide the fingerprint sensor under the TP panel. The increase in IFS technology does not change the ID style of the original design of the mobile phone, and there is no need to change the usage habit of Android phones. From the principle of development, IFS technology can support glass panels and support sapphire panels. The technology maximizes the need for smartphones to design and fingerprint recognition, simply simplifying the assembly process of fingerprint chips, and creates a wide range of application of touch screen to create a wide range of application of fingerprint identification technology.
