Samsung is thinking about how to improve the security of biometric data based on fingerprints.\u00a0Instead of a small scanner that can only read one fingerprint at a time, the South Korean manufacturer suggests using an OLED screen.\u00a0Thus, the reading area is increased, and several fingerprints can be scanned at once.\u00a0Samsung is currently working on this technology.<\/p>\n

According to the CEO of French biometric sensor company ISORG, Samsung could have the technology ready for its OLED displays in a couple of years.\u00a0A few months ago at IMID, the South Korean giant announced the development of an all-in-one fingerprint solution for next-generation OLED 2.0 displays.\u00a0This solution will allow Galaxy smartphones and tablets to simultaneously read multiple fingerprints via OLED displays.<\/p>\n

Samsung Display calculated that the simultaneous use of three fingerprints for authentication improves security by 2.5 billion times.\u00a0In addition to this obvious advantage, this technology will work on the entire surface of the display, which means that users will no longer have to worry about pinpoint placement of fingers on the screen.\u00a0With OLED 2.0 and the upcoming solution, the entire screen will be able to act as one large fingerprint scanner.<\/p>\n

The company did not say exactly when this technology will be available on Galaxy mobile devices.\u00a0ISORG said it has already developed its own technology for simultaneously scanning multiple fingerprints called OPD (Organic Photo Diode).\u00a0They suggest that Samsung will use similar materials and processes for its scanner.\u00a0The Koreans are likely to be the first to introduce such technology into smartphones, making them leaders in the field.\u00a0The head of ISORG believes that the new fingerprint scanners will become the de facto security standard, and other smartphone manufacturers will soon follow Samsung’s example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
