LG Innotek, a camera part supplier for Apple, is showing off a new under-display camera next year. This version is meant for cars, but the tech could eventually land in phones like a future iPhone. The key upgrade involves using AI to fix image quality, claiming over ninety-nine percent clarity compared to a normal camera.
Current under-display cameras usually suck, losing about thirty percent of image quality because the screen messes with the lens. LG's new system uses AI algorithms for deblurring and reducing noise to clean up the feed in real time. The automotive version is only 1.5 megapixels because they prioritized durability for crashes, implying they could make a higher resolution one for smartphones.
Apple is reportedly testing in-screen Face ID for next year's models as a step toward a truly bezel-less design. A future iPhone or maybe even a rumored foldable model could use this refined under-display camera tech. With LG being a longtime Apple vendor and a couple of years before a potential iPhone 20 launch, there is time to adapt this automotive solution for a phone.
