Does the screen have to be off where the camera is located?
I haven't dug deep but the few videos I saw showed a black bar covering the camera while it was in use (and bright colors when not).
- ginko 7y agoI guess depending on how fast the camera is they could turn off the screen for a fraction of a second in between frames to take a picture. Not sure if that's feasible atm though.
- phire 7y agoThat could actually work. They already make low persistence OLED displays for use in VR, where the screen stays black for most of the frame and a bright bar of image rolls down the screen. The iPhone can already operate in this mode. I assume there is a display brightness penalty, but the image quality from the camera should be fine as long as it gets more than half the frame collecting light.
- baybal2 7y agoI think it's quite real with OLED. But even with screen on, if you use a specialised CCD with huge dynamic range, I think it's doable.
