Touchscreen
Cypress Semiconductor has demonstrated a tablet-sized capacitive touchscreen technology with unlimited finger-tracking capability.
Cypress has released a video, available on its website, that features a demonstration of a user simultaneously manipulating multiple pictures on the screen.
The technology, based on Cypress's Truetouch touchscreen solution for smaller-size portable electronics, will power touchscreens from 7-17in, with full multi-touch support.
The inclusion of multi-touch support in the Windows 7 operating system has opened up the large laptop, netbook and tablet PC market to touchscreen interfaces.
Multi-touch capability is a key requirement for enabling designers to develop innovative applications and ways for the user to interact with his or her PC.
Cypress's Truetouch devices enable designers to create new usage models for products such as tablet PCs, notebooks, netbooks, mobile handsets, portable media players (PMPs), GPS systems and other products.
Truetouch technology provides the most flexible touchscreen architecture, allowing designers to implement differentiated features with Cypress's legendary noise immunity, based on patented capacitive sensing technology for flawless operation in noisy RF and LCD environments.
