Due to FPC’s world-leading capacitive fingerprint technology, image quality and low power consumption we have seized the position as the leading alternative for fingerprint sensors in mobile phones and tablets. Feedback from several leading Japanese mobile phone manufacturers and from a number of other ongoing negotiations demonstrates that FPC is at the very cutting edge.
