In particular, some screens are limited, such as LCD screens, which can't reduce the aperture of the front camera, and the size is scary. Now most smartphones have to carry this "scar". What's more, in order to improve the shooting effect of the front camera, the front dual camera is adopted, which makes the defect area larger.
Samsung, a mobile phone screen manufacturer, has just announced its latest patent for off-screen camera technology.
Judging from the published patents, the area of the front camera is large and small.
Large-area camera is not only a front camera, but also expected to add infrared, flash and other components to be more powerful; However, a small front camera may only accommodate the front camera components, not including the flash.
Either way, it will solve the defects of the current smart phone and completely get rid of the "scar" of the screen.
However, as a leader in the industry, Samsung has already developed this technology; Why hasn't it been launched yet? According to the data, it is possible for Samsung to adopt this technology on Galaxy Z Fold3, but it has not been proved so far.
Interestingly, at present, the only manufacturer with mass-produced off-screen cameras is ZTE's Axon 20 5G.
Objectively speaking, despite the poor sales of this mobile phone; But it is still a pioneer in the industry and has the courage to be the first manufacturer to please the screen scar.
However, this mobile phone has not caused the shock of the industry. In addition to the weak brand influence, it is related to the maturity of technology.
According to the evaluation results of foreign media, this mobile phone is generally configured, including system, UI, battery, camera and so on. In many cases, the front camera can see square shadows.
Moreover, in order to take care of the camera under the screen, the brightness of this mobile phone is not high, and the resolution is relatively poor, which affects the user experience of the mobile phone to some extent.
Although it is much better than perforated screen, it is still a defect; However, compared with the perforated screen, in most cases, you can still feel that this is a complete screen. Therefore, ZTE still has the courage.
At present, Samsung has delayed mass production, and other manufacturers dare not act rashly; I still hope to overcome the technical difficulties as soon as possible and really bring the complete screen to consumers.
