How do you increase the security of fingerprint-based biometrics? Instead of using a scanner that can only read one fingerprint, how about making the entire OLED display capable of scanning multiple fingerprints at once? It may sound like the distant future, but Samsung is already working on this technology. And according to the head of the company ISORG the Korean giant may have it ready for use in just a few years.
A few months ago, at the IMID 2022 conference, Samsung announced that it was developing an all-in-one fingerprint scanner for its next-generation OLED 2.0 displays. This technology will enable smartphones and tablets Galaxy record multiple fingerprints simultaneously through their OLED screens.

According to Samsung's display division Samsung Display, using three fingerprints at once to authenticate is 2,5×109 (or 2,5 billion times) more secure than using just one fingerprint. In addition to these obvious security benefits, Samsung's technology will work across the entire display, so future users of the device Galaxy they will no longer have to worry about placing their fingerprints in the right place on the screen.
Samsung has not revealed when it will have this technology ready for its devices. However, ISORG said through its boss that its own OPD (Organic Photo Diode) fingerprint sensing technology is already ready. According to him, Samsung is likely to use similar materials and processes for its all-in-one fingerprint sensor for OLED 2.0.

The head of ISORG added that he believes that the Korean giant will bring the technology to the stage in 2025 and that it will become the "de facto" standard for security. Samsung will probably be the first smartphone manufacturer to introduce this technology and become a leader in this field. As it is the leader in the field of OLED displays and many others.
