The iPhone14 Pro series is expected to have a Face ID mechanism with an i-shaped punchhole design, but the iPhone15 Pro series seems to change this to a round punchhole design with only one round hole. According to The Elec, Samsung Display is developing the under-screen embedded camera necessary to realize it, and it will be installed in the 2023 model folding Galaxy series in addition to the iPhone 15 Pro series. is. In addition, LG Display is also developing a camera embedded under the screen, although it is uncertain whether it will be adopted for the iPhone, the media reports. The under-screen embedded camera under development by LG Display is expected to increase the light transmittance to 20% by 2023 and 40% after 2024, and a transparent polyimide (PI) substrate will be used for that purpose. The Elec explains that it will be done.
Samsung Display seems to be developing a metal patterning layer (MPL: Metal Patterning Layer) using a new material in collaboration with OTI Lumionics to realize the face ID mechanism embedded under the screen. By using this, the light transmittance of the under-screen embedded camera installation part will increase, and it can be expected that it will be less noticeable than the existing under-screen embedded camera. If development goes smoothly, The Elec says the newly developed under-screen embedded camera will first be installed in the Galaxy Z Fold5 (tentative name) and then used in the iPhone 15 Pro series' under-screen embedded Face ID mechanism. increase. Apple has patented a bottom-screen embedded Face ID.
In addition, the under-screen embedded camera mounted on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 seems to be a method to make a fine hole in the target part with a laser like the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but Apple refused to adopt this method. The Elec reports that it turned out. Leaker John Prosser expected that the iPhone 14 Pro series would be equipped with a round punchhole camera in September 2021, but at that time, round punchholes were still considered instead of i-type punchholes.
