"The State Intellectual Property Office of China (SIPO) provided the patent. Based on the images that surfaced with the patent filing, it would take up a fairly large space above the bottom bezel of the smartphone," the statement reads.
The newly developed technology is different to what Synaptics developed -- a sensor emitting light underneath an OLED panel and then reading the fingerprint crests, according to the company.
