Title: Touching Technology behind the "itouch" generation
     
Release Date: immediate
A070WV01 & A102WV01 LCD
 

The world's leading touch panel controller manufacturer, is proud to announce the high performance projected capacitive touch controller IC solution. Integrated by over 10 touch panel OEMs all over the world, EETI have been successfully winning designs in touch screen mobile phone, GPS and many consumer products. Projected capacitive may result in a superior, eye-catching product when compared with other touch panel technologies. This technology is expected to dominate portable device markets in the near future. But why projected capacitive?

 

“Multi-touch?” seems to be the most common question when people are trying new products equipped with touch with fashion and sleek styling becoming the key factor to make buyers spend their hard earned cash; Projected capacitive technology allows a protective cover made of glass or plastic to be placed over the touch panel, making it possible to have a flat surface design; this allows scratch-proof, water-proof and dust-proof features to be easily implemented; Additional benefits are:-

  •  Higher transmittance
  •  No calibration required
  •  Sense with finger or gloved hand

This technology has all the answers for the fashion driven, consumer market requiring feature rich, robust hand held devices.

With all the benefits of projected capacitive technology, you may be curious how it works. Briefly, the system may be divided into two parts, touch panel and controller IC. The physical characteristic of the touch panel should be matched to the controller IC namely, resistance, capacitance and have sufficient sensitivity to ensure correct identification of touch events. However, best performance relies on fine-tuning between touch panel and firmware programming. The performance of the touch panel and IC, may be totally different depending upon the firmware with the detection algorithm being key to producing that "killer" application or product.

EETI has been specializing in touch panel controllers since 2000, and accumulated strong knowledge and experience in hardware, firmware and software design. We provide high quality touch products including resistive, surface capacitive, projected capacitive, SAW and IR touch technologies. With EETI's algorithm expertise in the projected capacitive IC, you can enjoy sensitive and smooth hand-writing functions, even with contaminated surfaces such as sweaty hands, including water or oil on the surface of touch panel. Sophisticated applications, may benefit from the hard coded "gestures" enabling zoom, flip, rotate and other operations using two point contacts on the sensor. By working with Displaze our UK and USA based representative we are able to offer technical and commercial support to recommend the right solution and help you win more business!

About EETI
eGalax_eMPIA Technology Incorporation, EETI, is a multi-nations company, based in Taiwan and Silicon Valley. Founded in December 2006, EETI is the merger of the leading touch solution provider - eGalax Inc (founded in 2000) and the leading USB video capture device and audio IC solution provider - eMPIA Technology Corp (founded in 2002).

EETI has two business units, touch BU and audio/video IC BU. The former specializes in touch solutions, and will become the only supplier with solution for all four touch panel technologies, resistive, capacitive, SAW and IR in the world. The later specialises in embedded multifunction peripheral imaging appliances of systems-on-chip (SOC) for PC peripheral and consumer electronics market as well as IP and various interface technologies.

Both BU's firmware and driver engineers are with extensive training background and working experience in related fields, the vision of the two companies are also merged into a collective whole – to be a world class leading company.
