Samsung's new OLED display can measure heart rate, blood pressure and read fingerprints anywhere

Samsung Display unveiled several new technologies at SID Display Week in Los Angeles. Perhaps the most interesting new product is the Sensor OLED display, which is called the Sensor OLED Display.

Here's What's New About It

A special feature of the display is that it can read fingerprints anywhere on the surface of the panel. Usually, in smartphones or tablets, the under-screen scanners are a small module located underneath the panel. Therefore, in order for the sensor to recognise a fingerprint, the user must place their finger on a specific area of the display. The Sensor OLED Display, on the other hand, has a sensor built into the panel itself, so the fingerprint will be read anywhere on the surface of the display.

This technology can also be used to monitor health indicators such as heart rate and blood pressure. To measure blood pressure, you need to put two fingers on the screen. The OLED light appears to reflect differently depending on the contraction and relaxation of your blood vessels.

What's more, Samsung assures that such technology produces more accurate readings than wearable devices.

When we'll see the finished product with the Sensor OLED Display (and whether there will be one at all) is still unknown.
