Microsoft Surface under-screen camera smartphone and tablet patent revealed

2022 will be the year when under-screen cameras enter the mainstream, but companies still face the challenge of meeting the quality expectations of front-facing cameras. Microsoft has applied for a patent for a unique solution, which they call the Logo camera.

The Microsoft solution will use an array of 4 cameras. The unique feature is that each camera is monochromatic and tuned to one of the 4 primary colors. This will make most of the color pixels on the screen invisible to the camera.

Then, Microsoft said that some of these pixels will be used as color filters for the camera. When the camera is active, it will be active. This will display a colorful pattern covering the lens on the screen. In Microsoft’s case, this will conveniently form a logo pattern, that is, the Microsoft Logo.

Of course, this can also be conveniently used as an indicator of camera activity, which is important for privacy, especially for inconspicuous cameras under the display. Of course, the signals from the four color-separated cameras will be fused into a high-quality image, which Microsoft says can show better sensitivity to light, and is less affected by the covered screen.

At present, we are not sure whether Microsoft’s Logo under-screen camera solution is suitable for other companies, but it is indeed a very unique method.
