Synaptics, Incorporated Announces New Fingerprint Scanning Tech
On Dec. 12, Synaptics (NASDAQ: SYNA), a company that's bet heavily on building and selling fingerprint scanning technology for use in smartphones, announced that it has gone into mass production on a new in-display fingerprint scanning product known as the Clear ID FS9500 -- a technology that it began sampling earlier this year.
The company says that the technology is being adopted by a "top five OEM" -- in other words, one of the top five smartphone manufacturers. That manufacturer is likely Vivo, which demonstrated a smartphone with an in-display fingerprint scanner earlier this year.
