Payment-grade biometric security, cost, and a true all-screen design are no longer a tradeoff. The Polar ID camera operates seamlessly beneath a fully powered-on OLED phone display.
Polar 3D captures lighting independent shape and surface reflection from a single image, allowing consumer devices to generate accurate, 3D-ready facial data instantly on-device without scans, multiple angles, or processor-hungry reconstruction.
Leveraging UMC’s 300mm wafer manufacturing capabilities, as well as the qualification of this supply chain, Metalenz is ready to ramp into volume positioning Polar ID for widespread adoption across consumer electronics, mobile, and IoT platforms.
