OPPO has announced its next-generation under-screen camera tech for smartphones. As we know that the company introduced its 1st gen under-screen camera technology back in 2019, which uses a customized camera module, an enhanced translucent panel material.
This technology uses OPPO’s proprietary AI algorithms and resolves issues that were present in the previous-gen under-screen camera technology such as inconsistent display quality in the screen area above the under-screen camera, poor image quality, and issues with product lifespan and reliability. Now, OPPO’s next-generation under-screen camera solution introduces several new innovations in structure design and AI algorithms, the same as the new ZTE Axon 30 smartphone.
- Innovative pixel geometry is the new solution that shrinks the size of each pixel without decreasing the number of pixels to ensure a 400-PPI high-quality display even in the camera area.
- Transparent wiring and a new design where it replaced the traditional screen wiring with an innovative transparent wiring material. Combined with a high-precision manufacturing process that reduces the width of the wiring by 50%, this results in much finer display quality with a smoother visual experience.
- Improved control of screen accuracy, color, and brightness in contrast to the current industry standard of using a 1-pixel circuit to drive 2 pixels (“1-to-2”) in the screen area above the camera, and also introduced a new solution using proprietary screen technology, with each pixel circuit driving only 1 pixel (“1-to-1”).
- Improved reliability and lifespan with the introduction of the “1-to-1” pixel circuit and dedicated optimization algorithm, OPPO’s next-generation under-screen camera solution is able to provide display compensation in the under-screen camera area of the screen, improving the screen’s lifespan by up to 50%.
Remove a bit, but improve more than a bit！
