Samsung recently released its flagship smartphone Galaxy Note7 in New York. One of the highlights of this product is iris recognition. Users can quickly unlock the phone while looking at the phone screen, which represents the expansion of IR LED applications from security control to consumer electronics. Gao Dongzhen, president of Samsung's electronic operations business, revealed that after the cost of iris recognition technology is controllable, it will soon be promoted and applied in mid-range smart phones.
Smartphone introduction biometric technology
Galaxy Note7 has added the iris recognition function. The front lens reads the user's iris data. As the identity verification data, the speed, accuracy and security of iris recognition are higher than fingerprint recognition. Users only need to look at the screen of the mobile phone. After unlocking, in addition to the application of fingerprint recognition, iris recognition can also be used for message encryption to improve the security of the mobile phone.
At present, iris recognition is still in the exclusive function of high-end smart phones. Samsung’s president of mobile action business Gao Dongzhen revealed that once the cost of iris recognition is controllable, Samsung will apply this technology to mid-range smart phones, and iris recognition is not only Staying in the flagship product, Samsung has a long-term plan for the development and promotion of iris recognition. Iris recognition is one of the safest and most effective ways to compare biometric technologies.
Samsung has not stayed in the user identity verification function in the application of iris recognition. In addition to quickly unlocking the mobile phone, biometric identification can also have more application methods. Samsung will open the API interface of iris recognition to provide services for developers. Samsung is also communicating with major commercial banks to apply iris recognition in online financial transactions.
LED factory analysis, Samsung imported iris recognition using a high-power IRLED, wavelength of about 810nm, quoted up to several dollars, although Fujitsu imported into mobile phones in the past, but because of brand awareness is not enough, did not become a bright spot, Samsung is the first bold adoption The first-line brand factory has an indicator meaning. The LED factory believes that the purpose of importing iris recognition is not to unlock, and the target is to pay for future mobile phones.
According to the LED factory, there are about 40 identification points for fingerprint identification and 240 iris recognition. The recognition is greatly improved. It is safer for mobile payment. The early introduction of IRLED specifications is OSRAM, because the application is more on mobile phones. Emphasizing light and thin, small-angle illumination, there are technical thresholds in the rear package, Osram from the front to the back, so the price is high, on the infrared LED chip, the Taiwan factory is completely no problem.
Favorable IR LED expansion for new applications
In recent years, the mainstream biometric identification technology applied by the ICT industry, in addition to the new generation of iris (Iris), mainly includes fingerprint (printer), voiceprint (printprint), palm print (Palmprint), face (face), retina. Identification techniques such as (Retina) and Eyeprint. With the introduction of this more evolved personal identification technology, mobile devices will drive the shipment of biometric-related products and the market scale to make the application of biometrics more luminous.

In recent years, smart phones have been moving toward larger screens, larger specifications, and optimized power consumption. With the increasing popularity of mobile commerce and third-party payment applications, the new generation of mobile phones has become more simplified in terms of personal identification. Design with a more secure trend. Therefore, many flagship mobile phones have introduced a new generation of Biometric technology, with safer personal identification and fast mobile phone unlocking function, as one of the highlights of the new mobile phone.
The biometric technology is a sophisticated hardware device that performs identification operations on individual features of the organism. It is unique, universal, permanent, measurable, convenient, acceptable, non-bullying, etc. Fast, secure, convenient, and irreplaceable personal identification while reducing the inconvenience and insecurity (such as the possibility of hacking) caused by the use of pure software identification technologies such as passwords or graphics locks. In view of this, more and more intelligent devices have begun to introduce biometric identification systems to provide users with safer and faster use scenarios.
According to research institutions, smart devices (including smart phones, tablets, and wearable devices) that have introduced biometric technology will increase shipments from 209 million units in 2014 to 2.991 billion units in 2020. The rate reached 55.8%, while revenue will increase from $1.62 billion in 2014 to $34.63 billion in 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of 66.6%. Among the above identification technologies, there are many categories that are applied to IR LED components, so it will be helpful for the development of new applications in niche LEDs.
Samsung has designed the function of iris recognition, which also represents the need. The first-line factory takes the lead in helping to make the cake bigger and the amount is out. The future of mobile payment will help stimulate IRLED demand.
According to the industry, the current Taiwanese manufacturers that have the ability to produce IR LED chips are crystalline and optical, and the crystal encapsulation capabilities of the latter are Yanjing and Yiguang. Yanjing is the company, which packages the high-power IR LED chips and then delivers them to The Camera Factory is currently sampling samples for the notebook computer factory.
