Visionox, a leading manufacturer of OLED smartphone displays in China, seems to have finally found a way to mass-produce secondary display cameras. The company today released promotional material about the trailer. Reports from China indicate that the company will soon begin mass production of the new transparent OLED screens.

Visionox hopes that by applying transparent materials, pilot circuitry that coordinates with the screen and camera, and by arranging the pixel structures so that display quality is also not compromised in the process.

How does it work?
Improved transparency with a secondary screen In addition, reports indicate that Visionox refers to the part that covers the screen as a secondary screen. To make the screen conductive while remaining transparent to the camera, the company used organic and inorganic materials with increased transparency in addition to the improved film layer structure. In doing so, Visionox aims to replace the non-transparent part that covers the camera with a more conductive layer, not only to gain transparency and diffraction of light towards the camera, but also to improve the best of both worlds. The company also said that transparency while allowing the screen to project content is the hard part. He added that by using a special arrangement of pixels, it is able to reduce transition effects between the main screen and the auxiliary screen that covers the camera.

Clearer selfies with a hidden camera
The main purpose of a new transparent OLED display is to house a hidden camera underneath. With that in mind, the company used a special driver that apparently reduces interference between the screen that covers the camera and its sensors. Visionox also claims that thanks to the cooperation of the relevant camera manufacturers, it was able to eliminate the glare and fogging effect seen in early models, using a special pixel layout structure on the secondary screen to improve selfies. However, he added that cameras and software algorithms designed for the secondary displays should complement this in the future. With that being said, we'll have to wait and see how it plays out when devices start hitting markets in the future.
