Mobile phones with fingerprint recognition sensors integrated into their screens could be on the way. Alps Electric has just announced that it is developing a range of transparent pressure sensitive film technology that ‘uses double-layer electrodes formed with high integration on a film to sense the peaks and valleys of a fingerprint…With a transparent sensor construction, set manufacturers will be able to design the sensor on the top of an LCD display for a variety of applications.’
This is Very Cool Tech indeed and could really make a difference in the war against terror…sorry…mobile phone theft!
