Oppo Showcases Under-Screen Camera Technology at MWC 2019

As we already know that MWC 2019 has begun at Shanghai to introduce new technologies to us. One of the most exciting and interesting news came from the event is the Under-Screen Camera Technology from Oppo.

Oppo has already teased this technology with a prototype on its official Twitter handle. This technology will remove the necessity of notches, punch-hole display designs or motorized pop-up camera mechanism.

Oppo also teased some photos from the ongoing MWC 2019 around the upcoming under-screen camera technology. In the below post shared by the company, we can take a clear look at the prototype of the device with this new technology. There is no other information related to the device revealed by the company yet but shows the high priority of having an under-screen camera technology which will be able to capture photos under the screen.

With this post, Oppo also explains that under-screen camera or simply called USC uses “a customised camera module, an enhanced translucent panel material combined with advanced processing algorithms to take vivid pictures without a notch or motorised camera.”

Some people may still doubt whether the camera under the screen will be able to click good quality photos or not? Oppo already confirmed that this USC is also backed by algorithms like includes haze removal, HDR and white balance which will give the best in class photos. Oppo also used a special transparent material to cover the camera surface on the display so that the selfie camera won’t face any light issues.

Oppo VP Brian Shen revealed that the technology is still “in its early days”. Shen said “At this stage, it’s difficult for under-display cameras to match the same results as normal cameras, there’s bound to be some loss in optical quality. But, no new technology jumps to perfection right away.”
