Fingerprint Cards’ swipe sensor technology has won its first mobile phone design
win (DW) from a mobile phone manufacturer in a third Asian market.
Fingerprint Cards has earlier announced multiple mobile phone design wins in
Japan and China, and is now proud to announce its first DW for mobile phones in
a third Asian country. This DW is for a smartphone on a Qualcomm platform that
is scheduled to be launched in the second half of 2013. FPC expect additional
phone models featuring FPC’s swipe sensor technology to be launched by the same
customer during 2013 and 2014. Due to the prevailing competitive situation, the
mobile phone manufacturer wants to remain anonymous until further notice.
Johan Carlström, President and Chief Executive Officer of FPC, comments:
“We are delighted to announce this first major DW in this strategically
important market. Due to our world-leading capacitive fingerprint technology,
image quality and power consumption, FPC is now established as the leading
alternative for fingerprint sensors in smartphones and tablets. We expect a
number of additional design wins in this country as well as in other parts of
Asia during the months ahead.”
