VFS301 FINGERPRINT SENSOR PRODUCT BRIEF

Durable Swipe Sensor Featuring LiveFlex Technology PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

VFS301 is a durable high performance dual-line-imaging (DLI) ngerprint sensor with a small exposed form factor and low power consumption. The cost effective VFS301 is designed for optimal integration into notebook computers, tablet PCs, and PC peripherals, and can be colorized to to satisfy OEMs increasing requirements for customization and end consumers desire for improved aesthetics on notebook PCs. The product consists of custom silicon chip bonded to a Kapton plastics ex circuit, known as Chip-On-Flex (COF). The sensor captures the unique features of a 3-D ngerprint image using a patented technique to detect and measure the ridges and valleys of a live nger. The product uses an industry leading, patented image reconstruction algorithm from Cogent Systems to acquire a high quality ngerprint image. Users swipe their nger over a durable Kapton plastic surface for authentication, identication, securing data, and more.
