Film-based touch sensors have been released by Atmel Corporation that are ideal for the next generation of smartphones and tablets. They also extend touch capabilities into a wider array of new consumer and industrial products.
The devices are based on roll-to-roll metal mesh technology, by which the XSense touch sensors provide a high-performance alternative to existing touch sensors. As a result it is now possible to develop larger, lighter, sleeker, curved and edgeless designs for smartphones, tablets, Ultrabooks and a host of new touch-enabled products.
The touch sensors are suitable for a wide range of touchscreen products, enabling thinner sensor stacks with better performance and a high-level of optical clarity to enhance the user experience.
With such advantages as flawless touch performance, enhanced noise immunity, low sheet resistance and low power consumption, designers are now able to turn touch-based concepts into functional designs at lower total system costs compared to other solutions.
