Samsung's new OLED display can measure heart rate, blood pressure and read fingerprints anywhere

Samsung Display presented several new technologies at the SID Display Week exhibition in Los Angeles. Perhaps,

The most interesting new product is the OLED touch display, which is called Sensor OLED Display.

What's new

The peculiarity of the display is that it can readfingerprints anywhere on the surface of the panel. Typically in smartphones or tablets, under-display scanners are a small module located under the panel. Accordingly, in order for the sensor to recognize a fingerprint, the user needs to move his finger to a specific area of ​​the display. Sensor OLED Display, on the contrary, has a sensor built into the panel itself, so the fingerprint will be read anywhere on the display surface.

This technology can also be used formonitoring health indicators - heart rate and blood pressure. To measure your blood pressure, you need to place two fingers on the screen. OLED light appears to reflect differently depending on the contraction and relaxation of your blood vessels.

What's more, Samsung claims that this technology produces more accurate readings than wearable devices.

When we will see a finished product with Sensor OLED Display (or whether it will happen at all) is still unknown.
