Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo recently unveiled their third-generation under-screen camera technology. The almost-invisible selfie camera should provide fairly good image quality without compromising on the sharpness of the display. This innovation seems promising since it resolves many of the technical and manufacturing issues related with under-screen cameras development. Let’s see how it works. As customers keep demanding screens that fit the entire body of their smartphone, tech companies are faced with more and more challenges to respond to this specific need. Under-screen camera technology seems promising in this regard since it allows to place an almost-invisible camera underneath the display, thus maximizing the size of the screen. However, placing a camera underneath a surface poses many technical challenges. In fact, since the pixels of the OLED display obstruct much of the light path, they prevent part of the light to reach the camera sensor. This usually results in blurry images affected by glare. However, Chinese tech company Oppo recently announced the development of their third-generation under-screen camera technology, which seems to largely improve image quality without sacrificing the resolution of the display. Let’s take a look. Under-screen camera technology: a little bit of history Oppo first showcased their under-screen camera technology at MWC Shangai in 2019. Despite they’ve been developing this technology for quite some time, they currently don’t have any device on the market featuring an under-screen camera. However, other manufacturers do. In fact, when ZTE released their Axon 20 5G in 2020, it was the world’s first smartphone...
