Setlak credited as the inventor. Though it could be limited to a specific area of the display, it is possible for the sensing area to cover the viewable display area, making the entire screen into a single cohesive fingerprint reader.The patent notes that adding the ability to scan the fingerprint through the display would speed up authentication, performing it automatically during normal use of the device.
