According to industry reports, BOE has developed a technology that enables under-the-display infrared cameras to be used with LCD displays. BOE is in the final stages of developments, and plans to commercialize this technology in 2027, for its automotive panels.
Up until now, it was thought to be very challenging to place cameras behind LCD displays, as the LCD layers interfere with the light path. Now it is reported that 3M developed a special infrared transmission film, that enabled BOE To develop a complete solution. BOE has already demonstrated a prototype earlier this year at CES 2026.
The automotive industry is interested in under-the-display cameras as they enable driver monitoring without the need to expose a camera to the driver. This was believed to be a main advantage of OLED (and microLED) displays, but now BOE is looking to adopt it in LCDs as well. BOE Is also active with under-the-OLED camera technologies, of course.
