New Samsung, LG Notebooks Feature FPC Fingerprint Sensors

Fingerprint Cards biometric technology is being used in multiple new devices from some big-name brands.

One of them is Samsung, whose new Notebook 9 Pen notebook device features an embedded FPC1025 fingerprint sensor. The sensor complements an infrared camera, allowing for both fingerprint and facial recognition via the device’s Windows Hello user authentication system. Meanwhile, new versions of Samsung’s previous Notebook 9 devices – available in 13.3″ and 15″ screen sizes – also feature the FPC1025 fingerprint sensor.

In a statement announcing the integrations, Fingerprint Cards asserted that its FPC1025 sensor “offers excellent 3D pixel-sensing technology that reads virtually any finger – dry or wet.”

The other big OEM that is once again embracing FPC fingerprint sensors is LG, which has just announced the latest in its line of lightweight, thin Gram notebooks. Available in 13.3″, 14″, and 15.6″ screen sizes, the notebooks take advantage of an FPC1035 fingerprint sensor. The sensor is embedded in each device’s power button, allowing for user authentication even as the devices are turned on.

The integrations offer the latest signs of the migration of fingerprint sensors into computer devices now that the technology is more or less ubiquitous on contemporary smartphones. And they illustrate the continuing importance of the consumer tech sector for a biometric sensor specialist like Fingerprint Cards even as it seeks to expand into new market areas such as biometric payment cards.
