Oppo has a smartphone with an “invisible” under display camera


The smartphone industry is consistently evolving and the race to get a true full-screen device is heating up. We’ve have seen all sorts of designs aimed at improving the screen ratio of smartphones. It all started with a notch, then waterdrop design, pop-up camera, periscope structure, sliding design, and most recently, the punch-hole design. Now, it appears that Oppo has gotten a breakthrough with the obstruction caused by the front camera of smartphones. In a Twitter video, the company revealed the world’s first under-display camera technology. This time, the camera sensor is invisible.

As depicted in the Twitter video, Oppo’s solution shows a completely full-screen smartphone with no notch or cutout. Interestingly, this device is still capable of capturing selfies which implies that the sensor is invisible. However, the sensor is not completely invisible as we can see a ring of light on the top of the display which suggests the position of the camera sensor.
