On 10th December 2019, Oppo held a special event at the Shenzhen headquarters for its Future Technology Conference 2019. The event saw many notable announcements and attendees which included CEO Chen Mingyong, who has been away from media and public events for the past 6 years. It also saw the company showcase the real-life prototypes with new technological solution that will arrive in the near future. This includes a highly anticipated under-display camera on a prototype smartphone.

In Oppo’s product technology display area, the Chinese company had showcased many upcoming devices and products with cutting-edge technologies. One of which is the “Perspective Panoramic Screen” or in other words an under-display camera. According to the company, the new technology allows users to have a more complete field of vision by completely integrating the front camera into the display.

Currently, most smartphone manufacturers opt for either a pop-up camera for a full unintrusive display or a punch hole/waterdrop notch selfie camera at the front to achieve almost similar results. However, many people are still skeptical of cameras on motor mechanisms and almost is still not 100 percent. Hence, the process of having the camera built under the display seems to be the best solution so far. To date, no OEM has released a device ready for mass production with the technology.

According to the source, the prototype that featured this new camera technology also showcased possible designs for future smartphones. It had no visible seams, ports or openings even for charging and its likely wireless powered back up. Furthermore, the selfie camera interface was mostly hidden but was noticeable with light-colored wallpapers or backgrounds. This shows that the technology is incomplete and is still a while away from commercial launch.

Oppo has stated that the “perspective panoramic screen” will solve these minor details and hitches over the next few years before starting mass production. Reportedly, we might even be seeing more widespread adoption of this technology in the next three to five years from different companies.

OPPO has been at the forefront of innovations to ensure the user enjoys an immersive visual experience by trimming the bezels around the display. We have seen several of them from the BBK subsidiary ranging from ultra-slim bezels, waterdrop notch to mechanical pop-up cameras. Earlier this month, OPPO showcased another innovative technology which is called “Perspective Panorama Screen”.

The company has released a short video which shows the camera in action. The video has the renders of a full-screen phone without a notch. The camera is embedded under the screen. There is an under-screen camera module as well as a high transmittance screen The device also comes with an optimization algorithm which will ensure the output isn’t too bad.

Since this is the first time the technology is being put to use, OPPO warns that the screen could affect the quality of the camera output. According to an earlier statement by OPPO’s VP Brian Shen, the image quality of the in-screen camera technology may not be good. After the initial announcement of the new camera technology earlier this month, Brian had claimed that at present the screen camera is unable to generate the same image quality as the non-screen camera. He added that the images captured through the new technology will have some loss in optical quality. We expect the company to continue to optimize the technology in order to improve on the quality.
