The freshly disclosed Sony Xperia V sensor-on-lens touchscreen technology is said to render improved image clarity and a ‘true’ direct touch experience. Basically, this kind of display has a lesser number of physical layers and the sensor sheet is part of the lens itself.
The end result ought to be better image streaming as there is no disturbance from the touch sensor component. As mentioned on the company’s developer page, one layer of glass and one of glue are not part of the equation in the new touch panel as compared to traditional ones. Notably, the touchscreen should yield less blurriness and 5% enhanced luminance in the absence of the additional layers.
The complete set-up makes the smartphone lighter and thinner considering that an extra plate of glass is taken off. This technology also gets the image plane close to the user, which is comparable to the feeling of actually touching the image with the fingers. The surface is claimed to reduce parallax issues as the point of touch and image are closer to each other.
As for the other mains specifications, the handset binges on the Ice Cream Sandwich platform and is equipped with a 4.3-inch scratch-resistant TFT touchscreen. Its back panel is embedded with a 13MP snapper with HD video recording ability, 16x digital zoom and flash. The integrated battery is expected to survive talk time of roughly 7 hours or standby duration of up to 400 hours.
While the smartphone was unveiled back at the IFA, the company had waxed eloquent on the Sony Xperia V sensor-on-lens touchscreen technology just recently.
