Something that not many tech enthusiasts may have taken detailed note of at the IFA is the Sony Xperia V sensor-on-lens touchscreen. Though it’s not something starkly visible at a glance, this new attribute of the smartphone’s integrated touch display is pretty interesting.
Owing to the sensor-on-lens technology, the images reproduced on the screen are claimed to be ‘better’ and apparently render a ‘true’ direct touch experience. Basically, this kind of a mobile display incorporates a lesser number of physical layers as compared to conventional panels. To be exact, a layer of glass and one of glue are out of the picture here. The end result is expected to be less blurriness and 5% improved luminance. Also, parallax is diminished since the image and point of touch embrace each other more fondly.
Since a complete layer of glass is eliminated in the process, the chassis also happens to drop a significant bit of bulk. As for the key screen specifications, the handset sports a Reality Display spanning 4.3 inches and it is powered by the Mobile Bravia Engine 2 and accentuated by an OptiContrast panel. In terms of other features, the smartphone runs on the Ice Cream Sandwich platform and it is integrated with a 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8960 dual core chipset. It is embedded with a 13MP HD snapper with autofocus, photo flash and 16x digital zoom.
As far as the Sony Xperia V sensor-on-lens touchscreen is concerned, fans can probably expect some more of the company’s devices to incorporate the same intelligence as well.
