"Who?Vision is introducing a host of new products to its
customers at COMDEX this year," said Alex Dickinson, chief executive
officer of Who?Vision. "We are particularly excited about our PCMCIA
card which utilizes the technology we jointly developed with Philips
Flat Display Systems (FDS)."
Who?Vision and Philips FDS, a business group of Royal Philips
Electronics of the Netherlands (NYSE:PHG), have successfully created
and tested a new generation of extremely compact fingerprint
biometrics solutions. In essence, this new solution places
Who?Vision's patented TactileSense(TM) technology on a thin glass or
plastic display engineered by Philips, creating a uniquely thin total
solution.
Who?Vision is committed to offering convenience and security at
the touch of a fingerprint with its revolutionary TactileSense(TM)
technology. TactileSense(TM) is a patented light-emitting polymer that
results in a thinner, more durable fingerprint sensor.
Without the need for a light source, the TactileSense(TM) polymer
generates an image of the fingerprint patterns, identifying the unique
characteristics that link it to an individual. TactileSense(TM)
transforms the ridges, loops and whorls of a fingerprint into an
optical image pattern. This pattern is captured as an optical image by
a custom-designed sensor and then transformed into digital code.
