Samsung Display has unveiled a new generation of OLED panel that it says can recognize fingerprints anywhere on the screen and even check the user’s heart rate, blood pressure, and stress levels using multiple simultaneous finger readings.
“To accurately measure a person’s blood pressure, it is necessary to measure the blood pressure of both arms,” notes Samsung Display’s press release. “The Sensor OLED display can simultaneously sense the fingers of both hands, providing more accurate health information than existing wearable devices.”
Samsung did not provide information on the accuracy rate or speed of its Sensor OLED display, nor did it explain whether the authentication and biometric readings could be taken at the same time, but the company clearly has confidence that the technology is destined for smartphones in the near future.
Well, this would certainly raise the game considerably for fingerprint, as well as health, sensing. It certainly looks like new technology is focussing on better cameras and health/fitness tracking in a big way.
