Setting a ‘screen lock’ for phones was a technology used even before smartphones. Screen locks, which used to consist of pin codes or passwords, have been replaced by physical fingerprint readers, fingerprint readers embedded in the screen and 3D face recognition technology in the future. However, despite the developing technology, the security of today’s screen locks continues to be discussed.
South Korean technology giant Samsung has announced that it is working on a technology that will make your phone’s screen lock secure at an unprecedented level. According to the information presented by Samsung Display, the new generation screens called OLED 2.0 will have a new generation fingerprint reading technology called All-in-One. This technology will make it possible to scan multiple fingers simultaneously.
You will be able to swipe 3 fingers on the screen at the same time
As you know, today’s smartphones can only scan one finger at a time. This causes security to be limited to a single fingerprint. According to Samsung Display, scanning three coins at a time instead of one means increasing security by a factor of 2.5 billion (2,500,000,000). Samsung did not share information about when we will see the technology in question on smartphones, but it is stated that there is a few years ahead for the technology to become available.
Estimates are that Samsung will launch its multi-fingerprint scanning technology in 2025, but as we mentioned above, no exact date has been given yet. With the announcement of the technology in question, it is expected to become a standard. So that; It is thought that even Apple, who said goodbye to fingerprint reading technology with Face ID, can switch to fingerprint technology embedded in the screen with multi-fingerprint technology.
