On August 28, it was reported that Xiaomi officially announced its "third-generation camera technology under the screen" this morning, that is, a comprehensive screen solution based on the camera under the screen, and said it planned to mass produce it next year.

In fact, as early as last June, Xiaomi announced a plan to transform the camera under the screen based on Xiaomi 9. At that time, it was publicized as a "hidden screen". In today's official introduction, Xiaomi classified it as "the first generation of camera under the screen technology". It used transparent cathode and anode materials on the OLED panel in the area of the camera under the screen, With certain light transmittance, the camera under the screen can capture light when taking selfie. However, officials said that the brightness, color gamut and color accuracy of the camera area under the screen were affected, so it was only in the pre research stage.

In October last year, Xiaomi launched the "second generation of camera technology under the screen". This time, some pixels in the camera area under the screen were made transparent and some were displayed normally, so that the time line for self taking could pass through the transparent area. The official said that although this scheme has improved the self timer effect, and the brightness and color accuracy of the area under the screen have also been improved, the number of pixels used for display has been reduced, resulting in a decline in PPI and a clear sense of graininess, which is still separated from the normal display area.

This time, the "third generation camera technology under the screen" is based on the principle of the previous generation, and has made a new pixel arrangement. The pixel gap in the camera area under the screen is made into transparent materials (and the pixel drive circuit is also redesigned), which achieves full resolution display effect while providing light for the camera under the screen. The official said that this scheme makes the display effect and self portrait performance reach a perfect balance, and the self portrait effect is no different from that of a conventional front camera.

According to the official video, the experimental model of this generation of offline solution should be based on the Xiaomi 10 Series.

In addition, according to the blogger "Digital Chat Station", Xiaomi's plan is jointly developed with CSOT, and it may release a new mass production machine equipped with the underscreen proactive plan in the first quarter of next year. On September 1, ZTE will release the first mass production machine, the Axon 20 5G, which is taken forward under the screen. At this time, Xiaomi's release of new technical solutions is more or less a matter of timing.
