What are the fingerprint identification technology companies?

Since it was acquired by Apple, Authortec has become the world's largest supplier of semiconductor fingerprint identification sensors, and Apple's touch ID has adopted Authortec technology. However, because it is exclusively operated by Apple, other businesses have been unable to buy AuthenTec's technology or products in the market.

FPC (fingerprint card AB)

Swedish company is the world's largest supplier of push-type fingerprint identification sensors (excluding algorithms and algorithm chips) except AuthenTec. Since AuthenTec only provides products and technologies to Apple, FPC has become the darling of non-Apple mobile phone camp. This year, many mobile phones in China are equipped with FPC fingerprint sensors. Such as: Huawei Glory 7, ZTE ARON, Meizu MX5, OPPO R7 Plus, OnePlus 2, etc.

At present, the momentum of FPC is very hot, but its sensor price is not low. It is believed that the price of FPC will return to the normal range as more fingerprint identification suppliers' products pass the test and small batch verification.

synaptic junction

American companies, which belong to cross-border industries, began to set foot in the fingerprint identification industry after acquiring Validity in June 20 13. At present, the mass-produced fingerprint identification sensors are mainly scraping (sliding acquisition), and the experience is worse than that of pressing sensors. Scratch fingerprint sensors on Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One Max and other mobile phones are provided by Synaptics.

The company's advantages mainly focus on touch control and human-computer interaction, and the layout of fingerprint identification is still in its infancy. In the future, the company's goal is to integrate fingerprint identification into the mobile phone display.

IDEX

The biggest advantage of Norwegian companies lies in fingerprint imaging technology. At present, there are two kinds of fingerprint sensors: scraping and pressing, and a hidden fingerprint sensor is being developed. The company is currently actively preparing to enter the mobile phone market.

Bersek (Shanghai Zheng Tu Biosafety Company)

As a domestic company, Liu Jun, the chairman of the company, began to study fingerprint algorithm as early as 18, and in 2002, he served as the general consultant of fingerprint technology of Luoyang Kaimai, a military enterprise. In 2006, as the sole technology founder, he founded Zhifutong, the first fingerprint payment operation company in Asia. At present, Asalaihe, the world's largest lock group, and Aipu, the world's largest safe giant, have exclusively used Basek's fingerprint identification module and supporting scheme.

The biggest difference between Belseck and other companies engaged in fingerprint identification is that they not only provide semiconductor fingerprint identification sensors (of various sizes), but also have their own fingerprint identification algorithms and algorithm chips. The homology of key technologies greatly improves the yield of products and makes their products very cost-effective.

Mairuiwei

Domestic companies have been established for a short time, but they have strong R&D and product capabilities. At present, the mobile phone market has begun to increase, with a number of fingerprint patent technologies.

protect

Taiwan Province Company focuses on the design, research and development, testing and sales of capacitive fingerprint sensor IC, and has a research and development team of IC design technology and system design technology, including the design capability of wafer manufacturing and packaging technology. Samsung Note5 is equipped with the fingerprint identification scheme of Aegis.

Ding Hui technology

Domestic companies and cross-border industries are MediaTek's strategic partners. The company's suppressed sapphire fingerprint identification scheme is very similar to touch ID. Last year, the company took the lead in releasing the hidden fingerprint identification IFS, which placed the fingerprint identification module under the touch panel. It is expected that this solution will be welcomed by Android mobile phone manufacturers, because they will no longer need to open holes (whether on the front or back) on their mobile phones, nor do they need to cultivate the usage habits of end users.

However, it has been more than 1 year since the release of IFS. At present, there is no mobile phone adopting IFS fingerprint identification scheme in the market. The recently released Le 1s mobile phone uses the glass fingerprint sensor of Ding Hui (placed on the back).

In recent years, Ding Hui has been caught in a patent dispute with Synaptics. Both parties have lawsuits against each other, and the final result still needs to wait for the judgment of the Patent Office.

Wesley

Domestic company, cross-border industry, led by CEO, was established on 20 10 10. The company focuses on the research and development and sales of multi-point capacitive touch IC chips, as well as the forward-looking research of multi-point suspension technology. 20 14 introduced a semiconductor fingerprint sensor, but there are few terminal products equipped with this sensor on the market at present.

In addition, a number of companies such as BYD and Duntai have also joined the competition.
