Thursday, December 6, 2012 - 11:10 in Physics & Chemistry

In the US, we could soon have the government monitoring everything we do. So we might as well be happier about more effective ways to be fingerprinted.  Integrated Biometrics, LLC has gotten FBI certification of its newest finger print technology, patented Light Emitting Sensor technology along with a thin film transistor. LES technology utilizes a charged polymer film interacting with the specific properties of human skin to luminesce fingerprint images, then the TFT captures the image at the FBI's standard 500 PPI requirement. The combination of LES and the thin film transistor enables size and weight reductions of up to 95% when compared to other products serving the same function.  read more
