trinamiX, a provider of biometric solutions, showcases their invisible integration of secure Face Authentication into a foldable screen for smartphones.

The solution is integrated behind OLED and offers enhanced security and convenience for users, without compromising on display quality or device slimness. It will be demonstrated at the International Display Week, hosted by the International Society for Information Display (SID) in San Jose, USA from May 14-16, 2024.  

OLED display

The featured OLED display meets the growing demand for secure Face Authentication in foldable smartphones. The unique patented technology of trinamiX securely verifies a user’s identity by differentiating between human skin and other materials for reliable liveness detection.

This integration does not require punch holes or notches, allowing users to fully utilise the large screen of foldable phones. The result is an immersive visual experience.

Face authentication

It is an exciting challenge to integrate secure face authentication behind a foldable OLED screen for the first time," says Stefan Metz, Director of Consumer Electronics Asia, trinamiX GmbH. 

"trinamiX Face Authentication not only operates invisibly under the foldable screen, but thanks to its small form factor, the module is also easy to integrate without compromising the design. This is a major technological breakthrough for foldable smartphones, and we are convinced that it will attract great interest from smartphone manufacturers."
