An unearthed patent by LG revealed that the Korean
company is preparing an advanced iris scanner that might arrive just in time
for the next flagship the LG G7. It will not only unlock the device, but also
help you make protect sensitive information.
The iris scanner checks the biometric
characteristics of the eye and sets up with a light screen and a dark screen,
since the iris changes in size, depending on how much light gets to it. Then
the sensor will check what are you looking at and if you are the owner of the
phone, the sensitive app will be available for opening.
Iris Scanner usually works with infrared light, but
LG has developed a camera which can switch from infrared to a regular one. This
might mean fewer cameras and sensors on the front, which also will lead to a
smaller top bezel.
