ZTE has shown off an under-display 3D structure light that the company says it will use to support its devices’ facial recognition capabilities.
The China-based company was the first smartphone manufacturer to make an under-display selfie camera. Now ZTE seems to have found a way to allow facial recognition data to pass through the in-screen camera, while still ensuring the display looks good when the camera isn’t being used.
According toÂ
Engadget China, ZTE compensates for light transmission loss through the device’s panel by increasing the projector’s pixel density, which allows the device to create a 3D map of the user’s face.
