Chinese display manufacturer, Visionox, announced today that its under-screen camera display solution is ready for mass production. The Suzhou-based company also released a video showing off the technology.
Called InV See, Visionox said they had to improve the transparency of the camera area by using new organic and inorganic film materials with higher transparency for the main screen. The new materials not only have improved transparency but also reduce diffraction.

Visionox also revealed they created an “industry-first drive circuit and pixel structure design” that minimizes interference.
It is important to know that hardware is only one half of the technology as the software will also play its part. Visionox says it is working with manufacturers to develop a special algorithm for the technology. This software algorithm will handle glare, brightness, and fogging effect so photos and videos captured with the selfie camera turn out great.
At the moment, it appears Visionox’s InV See will be exclusive to AMOLED displays. So expect LCD displays to keep having notches and punch holes for the foreseeable future.
InV See is ready for mass production but it is still unknown when the first commercially available phone will be announced. We are still in the first half of the year, so there is still a chance we may see it appear in phones before 2021.
Which manufacturer do you think will be the first to launch a phone with an in-display camera?
