SEOUL, KOREA - CrucialTec has supplied touch-type fingerprint modules to the latest smartphones of Huawei. Unlike the existing swipe-type fingerprint recognition system, the touch-type fingerprint recognition system has not been used widely for Android smartphones since the latter has been regarded as falling behind in terms of recognition rate and production yield.

Apple adopted the touch-type fingerprint recognition device for its iPhone 5s last year. A CrucialTec official said, “We supplied our touch-type fingerprint recognition modules to China’s Huawei. Starting from Huawei, China’s major smartphone makers will use our fingerprint recognition modules.”

He added, “We are now in talks with about ten Chinese smartphone makers and five non-Chinese makers to supply our touch-type fingerprint recognition modules.”CrucialTec aims to supply more than 10 million units of touch-type fingerprint recognition modules this year.
