IDEX to Showcase Fingerprint Sensors for Mobile and Card Applications at MWC 2016

IDEX ASA, a leader in fingerprint imaging and recognition technology and IP,
today announced that it will be demonstrating its full suite of fingerprint
sensor technology at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona on February
22-25. IDEX will showcase both  customisable off-chip sensors and compact
silicon based sensor products for mobile device and smart card applications.

IDEX will be exhibiting at stand 1H25 and will also have a private room
available for meetings with customers, industry partners and investors at the
convention centre.

IDEX is the only company that offers both silicon sensors and off-chip sensors.
Together with its worldclass algorithms, IDEX is able to deliver a complete
high-performing fingerprint imaging and recognition solution. The company's
Cardinal silicon sensors and the Eagle off-chip sensors are both in production
today and IDEX recently announced the first volume order for a tier-one mobile
OEM handset manufacturer.

In addition to its portfolio of production-ready sensors, IDEX has developed an
Inside Glass sensor solution based on its patented, off-chip sensing technology.
The in-glass technology offers a compelling solution for mobile device
manufacturers. Mobile OEM's are demanding glass sensor solutions to provide
superior industrial design and durability at the user interface. Several
industry players are developing various under glass sensor solutions to meet
this demand, however, fingerprint sensing through mobile device cover glass is
extremely challenging. The cover glass is typically 400-700 micron thick in
order to be durable, and represents a major physical barrier for fingerprint
sensors that diminishes image quality and significantly impacts sensor
performance.  IDEX's Inside Glass solution is a unique break-through technology
that removes the obstacle of having to sense through glass. The Inside Glass
solution delivers superior sensor performance by reducing the distance between
the sensor and the user's finger, while maintaining the integrity and durability
of the cover glass.

In addition, IDEX recently announced the world's first flexible polymer touch
sensor for ISO-Card integration. This development is ground-breaking, given the
requirements for flexibility in cards, and the solution also leverages IDEX's
off-chip technology to produce a thin and flexible sensor suitable for card
integration and high-volume manufacturing. A demonstration of the sensor will be
provided to select partners at MWC.

IDEX has an exciting and competitive product ready road map including swipe
sensors, touch sensors with disruptive cost positions, and a unique in-glass
solution. The Company is currently in the process of commercialising these
products.

In February 2016, IDEX announced that it had received its first production order
for its Cardinal touch fingerprint sensor optimized for tier-one mobile
handsets, IDEX will begin to ship units in the second quarter 2016.

IDEX also recently announced it had developed the world's first flexible polymer
touch sensor suitable for ISO-card integration.
