The fingerprints under the screen speed up into the “production period”. It is estimated that the global screen fingerprint demand will exceed 100 million in 2019.

At the CES in 2018, after the first release of the optical screen X20 Plus (fingerprint version), the user experience of the fingerprints on the screen was gradually accepted by consumers. At the same time, the supply chain of the screen fingerprints, including IC solution providers, module factories, fabs, panel factories and complete machine factories, have also increased their investment in screen fingerprints. After the technical adjustment in the first half of 2018, the current fingerprint supply chain under the optical screen is relatively mature, and the cost of the module is also decreasing. Traditional fingerprint solution providers, including Si Liwei, are also able to mass produce optical screen fingerprints. Ultrasonic screen fingerprints are expected to be mass-produced by the end of 2018.

Overall, the technology and supply chain of the screen fingerprint scheme has been relatively mature. According to the latest data from Sigmaintell, it is estimated that the shipment of global screen fingerprint chips will be increased to 42 million in 2018. Driven by the machine, the shipment of fingerprint chips under the ultrasonic fingerprint screen exceeded expectations. From the perspective of the new machine released in the second half of this year, under the promotion of the main brand Vivo, more and more mid-to-high-end mobile phones are equipped with screen fingerprints. It is expected that global screen fingerprints will become the standard for high-end products in smartphones in 2019, and it is expected that the global screen-printed fingerprints will exceed 100 million in 2019.
