Synaptics , a leading developer of human-machine interface solutions, today announced the expansion of the Natural IDTM family of solutions to begin mass production of small-area touch sensors to enable secure fingerprinting of smartphones, tablets and laptops through fingerprint recognition. Authentication. Unlike traditional sliding sensors, Synaptics Natural ID fingerprint sensors simplify fingerprinting with a single touch rather than sliding, making it easier to lock devices and use online services such as retail, banking, and social media portals. A safer route.

As consumer electronics manufacturers compete to differentiate through a more intuitive user experience, mobile payment infrastructure is increasingly being adopted and the fingerprinting market is growing. According to a recent forecast by market research firm IHS, as of the end of 2014, there were 317 million devices supporting fingerprint sensors worldwide, and by 2020, this number will increase to 1.4 billion. As a market leader, Synaptics is poised to support this growth with its strong line of biometric intellectual property, proven high-volume manufacturing expertise, and state-of-the-art high-performance technology.

main features:

High-performance fingerprint imaging: Advanced capacitive imaging technology and cutting-edge digital image processing capabilities deliver high-quality images for high-performance matching and high security.

LiveFlexTM technology: Separate the fingerprint detection component and fingerprint controller IC for more flexibility in determining the size and shape of the fingerprint detection module.

Small size: The smallest touch area of ​​only 4mm x 10mm allows the use of buttons with small form factors.

Multiple integration options: This extensive product line includes sealed button modules for smartphones and tablets, as well as fixed designs for laptops. The flat package footprint is small and the flexible LiveFlex sensor allows for integration into very small spaces.

Online transaction ready: The Natural ID sensor meets the requirements of the online trading industry standard FIDO. FIDO-compliant websites and web applications work seamlessly with fingerprint sensors , eliminating the need for cumbersome, hard-to-remember passwords.

Ritu Favre, senior vice president and general manager of biometrics products at Synaptics, said: "At present, fingerprint sensors are rapidly emerging in the market, and Synaptics is the first to introduce secure, accurate fingerprint sensor technology to the world's top consumer electronics manufacturers. Natural ID It is an important milestone for fingerprint touch sensors to be put into mass production. At this time, we are proud to continue to innovate and maintain close cooperation with equipment manufacturers."
