Japan Display: Sheet type image sensor
◆ The world’s first successful simultaneous measurement of vital signs with a single sheet-type image sensor.
Simultaneous imaging of veins and fingerprints (for biometric authentication) and pulse waves.
◆ Integrated organic photodetector and low temperature polysilicon thin film transistor in sheet type image sensor.
High-resolution and high-speed reading are enabled.
◆ Sheet-type image sensors are thin and bendable, making them easy to incorporate into wearable devices.
It is possible to measure and link the health status at the same time as the user’s biometric authentication.
As a result, it can be used for “spoofing” and preventing patients from being mistaken.

Japan Display, the company known for cramming massive screen resolutions into tiny spaces, has created the world’s first ultrathin image sensor that measures fingerprints, veins and pulse waves. At 15 micrometers thick the sensor is as thin as paper and features both high-speed readout and high-resolution imaging capabilities.
According to the company, this makes it particularly well-suited to security applications, as well as data-sensitive wearables. Where other sensors operate with either biometric signals (pulse waves) or biometric information (fingerprints and veins), Japan Display’s takes both into account. No word yet on its plans for commercialization, but the company expects the sensor will be integrated into high security authentication systems to help companies prevent impersonation attempts on important systems.
