Fingerprint Cards (FPC) has received its second Design Win (DW) for its swipe
sensor technology from one of Japan’s leading and most innovative mobile phone
manufacturers.
The initial volume is estimated at minimum one million mobile phones and the
first model launch is scheduled for the second quarter of 2013. Due to the
competitive situation, the mobile phone manufacturer wants to remain anonymous
for the
time being.

Johan Carlström, President and Chief Executive Officer of FPC, comments: “We are
happy and proud to announce our second DW for mobile phones in Japan and the
third globally in just two months. Due to FPC’s world-leading capacitive
fingerprint technology, image quality and low power consumption we have seized
the position as the leading alternative for fingerprint sensors in mobile phones
and tablets. Feedback from several leading Japanese mobile phone manufacturers
and from a number of other ongoing negotiations demonstrates that FPC is at the
very cutting edge. We are continuously working hard to build upon this
foundation and to expand our leading position in the market for smartphones and
tablets. We expect multiple additional DW:s in the coming months”
