DISPLAX unfolds new capacitive multitouch foil

March 1, 2012

DISPLAX Interactive Systems, international manufacturer of large size multitouch technology, has launched a new version of its star product, Skin Multitouch, with two true touches.

The company said its goal is to fulfill a market opportunity for large sizes but with two touches detected simultaneously.

According to DISPLAX CBO Miguel Fonseca, "with multitouch we are entering a new stage in the way we interact with software, as occurred with the introduction of the mouse. And we have no doubt that multitouch is the future of user interaction. That's why our most important product is a projected capacitive multitouch foil. However, currently there is still a significant demand for a solution with those characteristics but with two touches."

The new product, DISPLAX Skin Dualtouch is composed by a transparent and flexible thinner-than-paper polymer foil that, when applied to glass, plastic or wood, turns the surface interactive. A second component is a patent-pending controller that processes multiple input signals that come from a grid of nanowires embedded in the foil.

DISPLAX manufactures in Portugal and currently is shipping worldwide, with the exception of the U.S., with sizes starting from 30 inches and going up to 100.
