SystemPlus publishes reverse engineering of Fujitsu Iris Authentication Module IR Camera Module & IR LED. The module has been extracted from Fujitsu Arrows NX F-04G smartphone that uses iris scan as the next biometric login technology. Compared to fingerprint sensors, Fujitsu claims that the solution features a faster, safer and more secure authentication. It is also a cost effective solution due to the reuse of standard CIS and LED components. OSRAM is said to be the IR LED manufacturer and has designed this 810nm LED exclusively for this iris scan application (this sounds somewhat contradictory to the re-use statement).
