If you were like me, you couldn't help but chuckle whenever you watched a sci-fi movie where, at some point, someone would press their fingers/palm against an LCD to scan their fingerprints.
Well, once again we're shown that fiction does push science further and faster - and what's fiction eventually ends up becoming reality.
AU Optronics has just annouced an LCD with an integrated light sensor and... as you'd expect from the title: a fingerprint scanner.
So, next time we watch one of those science-fiction movies... this part won't be able to be considered "fiction" anymore.
