From the video point of view, OPPO seems to have achieved an excellent full-screen solution: the screen completely covers the front of the fuselage, presenting the content normally, and the front camera is hidden under the screen and called when needed-this solution almost perfectly solves the contradiction between the front camera and the full-screen without affecting the normal use of users.
After OPPO announced the design of the off-screen camera, Lin Bin, president of Xiaomi, also announced his off-screen camera scheme in Weibo, and attached a small video taken last month, showing the comprehensive off-screen camera technology realized by Xiaomi 9 engineering prototype. Xiaomi officially called this technology "down camera".
Xiaomi said that this technology hides the front camera under the screen. When taking a selfie, the screen above the front camera is instantly transparent, allowing the light to fully enter and form a beautiful selfie. It can be said that this is the most harmonious storage method for front camera and full screen, and it is also the ultimate full screen solution at present.
The realization of this scheme benefits from this customized screen. Xiaomi said that the newly customized screen is a small "transparent screen" in the front camera area, which has the characteristics of low reflection and high transmittance. The "transparent screen" can display the contents of the screen normally when not taking pictures, and becomes transparent glass when taking pictures. More importantly, through this design, the front 20-megapixel lens is hidden under the screen, and the screen also acts as the lens.
In this way, when the camera is started, the screen and the lens work together, so that the light can fully enter the camera sensor and enjoy a better beauty selfie, and the resolution is higher than that of the LCD blind hole screen. In the state of the screen, the front camera really disappeared, and the complete screen showed a seamless effect. Xiaomi also said that hidden screen is an innovative technology with independent intellectual property rights.
