GIS is supposed to have a high yield rate in production and O-film is stated to have high production capacity at lower production cost.The companies making the ultrasonic in-display fingerprint technology for Galaxy S10 are apparently vying for a contract to supply the sensors to Apple's iPad line-up. Given Apple's ongoing battle with Qualcomm, this might be very unlikely.
