**A New Era in Smartphone Technology: Under-Display Fingerprint Sensors**

We're here at the Synaptics booth at CES 2018 in Las Vegas, and we're excited to take a closer look at some of the latest advancements in smartphone technology. The topic we're discussing today is something that many of us have been waiting for - a fingerprint sensor underneath the display. This feature has long been a staple of smartphones, but it's about time we saw some significant improvements.

**Credit Where Credit is Due**

First and foremost, let's give credit to Synaptics, the company behind this revolutionary technology. They've also made fingerprint sensors for smartphones in the past, but their latest innovation takes it to the next level. Vivo, another prominent smartphone manufacturer, has invested heavily in R&D to make this possible and put them on the map as one of the first companies to market with this feature.

**The Technology Behind the Display Fingerprint Sensor**

So, how does this technology work? The sensor is located on only one spot on the bottom center of the display, signified by a glowing fingerprint icon that appears on the always-on display. You can activate it by lifting up your phone or pressing the power button. Once you've done so, you'll need to hold your finger on the sensor until the phone is unlocked. This process is fast, but there's one crucial step - you mustn't remove your finger until the phone is unlocked. Synaptics assures us that this is just a first-gen product and will get better and faster with more development.

**How Does it Work?**

The sensor uses a CMOS chip, which is the same kind used in smartphone cameras. It works by taking a high-resolution photo of your fingerprint and using it to unlock the phone. The chip is embedded under the layers of glass, allowing for optimal light flooding back to take a photo and verify a match. This is made possible by the use of an OLED screen, which allows the optical sensor to capture a clear image.

**A New Way to Unlock Your Phone**

Vivo has opted for gesture-based controls on this phone. To go home, you simply swipe up from the bottom center of the screen. To go back, you'll need to swipe down from the bottom right, and to access the quick settings panel, you can swipe down from the bottom left. It's a unique approach that sets it apart from other smartphones.

**A Prototype for Now**

This phone is just a prototype, so we should expect some changes before its release in early 2018. The final product may look different, but one thing's for sure - this technology is going to revolutionize the way we interact with our smartphones. We're excited to see how it evolves over time and what other innovations Synaptics has in store for us.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, we've seen a remarkable demonstration of innovation at CES 2018. Under-display fingerprint sensors are finally here, and they're going to change the game for smartphone manufacturers. With Vivo leading the charge and Synaptics behind the scenes making it possible, we can't wait to see what the future holds.
