One of China's largest OLED manufacturer Visionox, which provides panels for flagship smartphones such as the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi Note 10, has announced that it will offer smartphone displays compatible with under-display cameras and that they are ready to start mass production for the displays.
This idea has been around for a while now. Oppo first unveiled it in June last year. But it was mostly a conceptual prototype that represented an idea rather than a problem-free device ready for prime time. it has faced a great challenge, which was now been overcome by Visionox.
Ever since the iPhone launched it's notch smartphone manufacturers have been trying to figure out a way to make the most of the front display of the smartphones. We've seen some great solutions such as flip-ups, motorized pop-up cameras that come out from inside the smartphone, along with the popular punch-hole design.
The goal is to completely hide the camera and eliminate all moving parts, that's where the under-screen cameras come in. Apart from the issue of pixel density, which will reduce the amount of light entering the camera, there are other issues. That smartphone screen manufacturers need to control, especially in terms of brightness and contrast.
Obviously, you don't want a significant difference in the area of the screen when covering the camera and the rest of the display, but you also don't want to introduce color and contrast in the image either.
Visionox claims that to solve the problem with such technology requires a combination of both hardware and software fixes. Different film content will allow a higher level of transparency through the screen itself, but software algorithms will be needed to correct the issues of brightness, color aspects, and viewing angles.
Although it still looks like it's not going to be as good yet as visually using a camera without a camera looking at a mark, a cartridge hole, or some other way that doesn't cover the lens, Looks like the journey has started well and really begun. Even if it requires a little bit of software help in the last few steps, this is not uncommon. Most smartphone photography these days relies on at least some level AI assistance these days
Although Visionox says they are ready to mass-display the display when we look at a mass-produced phone which uses one is unknown. Although the GSM Arena expects us to Some demo units will be available for viewing by the end of the year. With the products actually launching from Q1 2021.
