One thing many smartphones still have are unsightly notches, but Xiaomi will definitely change that in the near future. This week they unveiled their third-generation under-display camera technology, and it’s better than ever. Users will now be able to experience the front display in its entirety, thanks to a custom pixel arrangement and optimized camera algorithm that offer the same performance as normal selfie cameras.
For those who like to get more technical, their self-developed pixel arrangement enables the screen to pass light through the gap area of sub-pixels. This means that each single pixel retains a complete RGB subpixel layout without sacrificing pixel density. Xiaomi has effectively doubled the number of horizontal and vertical pixels, achieving the same pixel density above the camera as on the rest of the display area. In other words, you won’t even notice there’s a camera there, since that area has the same brightness, color gamut and color accuracy as the rest of the display.

Based on the brand new pixel arrangement solution, Xiaomi’s 3rd Generation Under-Display Camera also adopts a special circuit design to hide more components under the RGB sub-pixels to further increase the light transmittance of the under-screen camera area. Combined with Xiaomi`s self-developed optimization algorithm, the new under-display camera offers a fully updated photography experience, matching the imaging performance of conventional front cameras,” said the company.
