Perforated screens have always been something people love and hate. On the one hand, the small-aperture perforated screen is indeed better-looking than the notch screen and water-drop screen, and has a higher screen-to-body ratio; on the other hand, the perforated screen is really ugly, extremely ugly. To put it bluntly, it is like a dead pixel on the screen, a black "scar", as if the screen is damaged.
In particular, some screens are limited, such as LCD screens, which cannot reduce the aperture of the front camera, and are frighteningly large. Nowadays, most smartphones have to carry this "scar". What's more, in order to improve the shooting effect of the front camera, the use of dual front cameras makes the defective area even larger.
Samsung, a mobile phone screen manufacturer, has just announced its latest under-screen camera technology patent.
Judging from the published patents, the area of ??the front camera varies from large to small.
Large-area cameras are not only front-facing cameras, but are also expected to include infrared, flash and other components to make them more powerful; while small-area front cameras may only accommodate front-facing camera components. , does not include flash, etc.
No matter which solution is used, it will solve the shortcomings of current smartphones and completely get rid of the "scars" on the screen.
However, as the leader in the industry, Samsung has actually been developing this technology for a long time; why has it not been launched yet? According to leaked information, Samsung may use this technology on Galaxy Z Fold3, but it has not been proven so far.
Interestingly, the only manufacturer that has mass-produced under-screen cameras is ZTE’s Axon 20 5G.
To be very objective, although the sales of this mobile phone are not good, it is still a pioneer in the industry and has the courage to be the first manufacturer to eliminate screen scars.
However, this mobile phone did not cause a shock in the industry. In addition to the weak brand influence, it is also related to the maturity of the technology.
According to the evaluation results of foreign media, the configuration of this phone is mediocre, including the system, UI, battery, camera, etc. There is nothing special; and the front camera can even see the to a square shade.
Moreover, in order to take care of the under-screen camera, the brightness of this phone is not high, and the resolution is relatively poor, which affects the use experience of the phone to a certain extent.
Although it is much better than the perforated screen, it is still a flaw; however, compared with the perforated screen, in most cases, you can still feel that this is a complete screen. Therefore, ZTE is still commendable for its courage.
At present, Samsung has delayed mass production, and other manufacturers dare not act rashly; they still hope to overcome technical difficulties as soon as possible and truly bring complete screens to consumers.
