Touch Biometrix Launches 'Largest Ever' Fingerprint Sensor

Touch Biometrix, an investee company within the Deepbridge Technology Growth EIS portfolio, recently claimed it has built the world's largest and thinnest capacitive fingerprint sensor based on thin-film transistor (TFT) technology.

Named TCAP60, the sensor is 3.2 by 3 inches, and therefore meets the criteria for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) FAP60 standard. FAP 50 and 60 scanners can be used to capture 4 flat fingers and rolled fingers simultaneously.

Eric Derckx, Chief Technology Officer at Touch Biometrix commented:

“Touch Biometrix decided to develop TCAP60, in FAP60 size and resolution as its first product, even if it is with the most challenging dimension within the FBI-certified list, because we knew our technology had the full scalability to any size and we wanted to prove to the world Touch Biometrix’s technology is the one to adopt."
