Sharp VGA Touchscreen/Fingerprint reader
By Staska on 26 Feb 07Sharp was the first mobile handset manufacturer to put a VGA screen on a mobile phone with it’s Vodafone Sharp 904SH clamshell. Now it want’s to do something better by making this VGA screen into a touchscreen combined with fingerprint reader.
Developed in Sharp’s European labs the new VGA touchscreen features 640×480 300 ppi resolution, 30fps frame rate and has built-in image sensor that can read your fingerprints.
The screen will be used in cellphones and will add touchscreen and biometric sensor functions to them.
As demonstrated in Samsung SCH – V960 Joystick phone, the fingerprint reading ability also gives Sharp the possibility to implement touchscreen scrolling function similar to that on Apple iPhone, in a way that is not covered by multiple Apple patents.
