![]() ![]() DISPLAX expects consumer applications to be developed using the new technology as well.īased on patent-pending projected capacitive technology, DISPLAX Multitouch Technology uses a controller that works by processing multiple input signals it receives from a grid of nanowires embedded in the film attached to the enabled surface. The technology was primarily developed for commercial environments, but Displax expects potential customers to come from industries as diverse as telecoms, retail, property, broadcast, pharma or finance. We already have a number of interesting pilots in progress across Europe." Almost everyone who sees it thinks of new applications, from converting LCDs into a multitouch screens, tables into multitouch tables, to creating interactive information screens in stores, shopping malls or public areas, to developing new exciting gaming environments. "It is extremely powerful, precise and versatile. For the commercial markets, the DISPLAX Multitouch Technology will open up new opportunities for many market players, technology vendors as well as businesses," said Miguel Fonseca, chief business officer of DISPLAX. "Multitouch is the future of interacting with a wide range of technologies. The number of fingers detected is expected to increase as development progresses. Currently, the technology can detect up to 16 fingers on a 50-inch screen. It is hyper sensitive, allowing users to interact with an enabled surface not just by touching it but, for the first time, by blowing on it, opening up new possibilities for future applications. It can be applied to flat or curved, opaque as well as transparent surfaces up to three metres across the diagonal. The DISPLAX Multitouch Technology dramatically extends the capabilities of the interactive format. The new technology will also be available for audiovisual integrators or gaming platforms to develop innovative products. Significantly, this new multitouch technology can be applied to standard LCD screens as well, making it an attractive choice for LCD manufacturers. When applied to glass, plastic or wood, the surface becomes interactive. The DISPLAX Multitouch Technology, believed to be the first of its kind, has been developed based on a transparent thinner-than-paper polymer film.
