Redmi Discovers a Way to Add Underdisplay Fingerprint Sensor to Affordable Phones

Under display fingerprint sensor technology has been limited to OLED panels so far. This is because OLED panels are much thinner than LCDs since they do not require any sort of backlighting. This is the reason why phones with LCDs come with rear or side-mounted fingerprint scanners. However, Redmi has figured out a way to make the technology work on LCDs. The company’s brand manager Lu Weibing has announced that they’ve successfully implemented an under-display fingerprint sensor on an LCD and they’ve even posted a demonstration video on the Redmi Note 8 Pro prototype. The biggest limitation of LCDs preventing the implementation of this technology was their backlight module. The module would interfere with the fingerprint scanner by preventing infrared light to pass through and scan the finger. Weibing explains that they were able to overcome this limitation by installing an infrared transmitter at the bottom of the display and a special film that boosts light transmission and allow..

Oil Prices Crash 33%, Will Decrease Inflation in Pakistan: Analysts

Oil prices dropped more than 33% after OPEC’s failure to strike a deal with its allies regarding production cuts, causing Saudi Arabia to slash its prices as it reportedly gets to ramp up production, leading to fears of an all-out price war. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude briefly dropped 33.07% to $27.58 per barrel. International benchmark Brent crude futures also plummeted 29.51% to $31.91 per barrel. Hammered by withering demand due to the coronavirus, the oil market is sinking deeper into chaos on the prospect of a supply free-for-all. Brent futures suffered the second-largest decline on record in the opening seconds of trading in Asia, behind only the plunge during the Gulf War in 1991. Ossama Rizvi, a economic and geopolitical analyst who has a special focus on the Oil markets told ProPakistani, Oil markets plunged 30 percent this morning as the markets opened after the recent announcement by KSA which amounts to a price war.

Ramiz Raja Wants Pakistan Team to Use Shadab Khan as an Opening Batsman

Former Pakistan captain, Ramiz Raja has a piece of advice for the Pakistan cricket team and he wants the team management to use the in-form Shadab Khan to open the batting for the national side. The cricketer-turned-commentator said this due to Islamabad United captain’s brilliant batting display in the ongoing season of Pakistan Super League (PSL). The all-rounder has three half-centuries to his name and he is among the top 5 run-getters in the tournament thus far. I think Shadab has made a strong case for himself to bat up the order. I don’t see any areas that he might be lacking in as compared to other top-order batsmen in Pakistan. Shadab could actually even open for Pakistan. He is the second-highest run-scorer with 251 runs in 7 innings at an average of 41.83. For reference, no other Pakistani – not even Babar Azam – is in the top 5. ALSO READ This All-Rounder Will Become Pakistan’s Next Captain: Saeed Ajmal Not just this, he has the highest score of 77 and he also holds th..

Getting there was transpired by none other than Ben Dunk, who smashed record number of sixes to get two crucial points for his team. The left-handed Australian batsman turned up the heat yet again to break his own record for the most number of sixes in an innings in PSL history. He had hit 10 sixes against Quetta Gladiators a few days ago, and he hit 12 sixes today was a new PSL record. Here are some of his sixes: Just like last time, Dunk turned the game on its head, despite being behind the target for the most of Lahore Qalandars’ innings. Dunk finished just one short of a well-deserved hundred, and he fittingly hit the winning six to seal it for the Qalandars. His blistering innings included 12 sixes and 3 fours at a strike rate of 247.50.

Jazz CEO Vows to End Workplace Bias in Strong Women’s Day Message
