EETI launches IC solution for projected capacitive technology
[2008/6 Taipei] As the world’s leading touch panel controller supplier, we are proud to announce the high performance projected capacitive touch controller IC solution for you! Integrated with 10 more touch panel maker partners all over the world, we have been successfully penetrating business into touch screen mobile phone, GPS and lots of consumer products. Projected capacitive is absolutely an eye-catching one above all touch panel technologies, and is expected to dominate portable device markets in near future. But why projected capacitive?
“Multi-touch?” seems to be the most common question when people are trying new products equipped with touch panel; Fashion design has become the key factor to make buyers readily take money out from their pockets; Projected capacitive technology allows one protective cover made of glass or plastic on the touch panel, and this feature makes it possible to have flat surface design; With this cover layer, scratch-proof, water-proof and dust-proof are easily implemented; Higher transmittance? No calibration required? Sense by finger or gloved hand is essential? Undoubtedly, you can find all answers and count on this technology!
With lots of strengths on projected capacitive technology, you may be curious how it works. Briefly, the system could be divided into two parts, touch panel and controller IC. The physical characteristic of touch panel should match minimum inquiry from IC such as resistance, capacitance, or some pattern design to ensure sensing enough signals for IC to identify touch event. However, the better performance relies on well coordination or fine-tune between touch panel and firmware programming. The truth is, even the same touch panel and IC, the performance could be totally different due to firmware. Actually, the “algorithm” inside the firmware is the key to outstand your products among all others.
EETI has been specializing in touch panel controller since 2000, and accumulated strong knowledge and experience in hardware, firmware and software design. We keep providing high quality touch products includes resistive, surface capacitive, projected capacitive, SAW and IR touch technologies. With EETI algorithm in projected capacitive IC, you can enjoy the sensitive and smooth hand-writing function, and normally works under sweated hand, even water or oil on the surface of touch panel. For certain gesture applications, the firmware could report two coordinate which means the boundary of all touched points. Developer can read these coordinates and define their own gestures based on the changes of coordinates!EETI is your best supplier and consultant, and we are able to recommend right solution for you and help you win more business!
