LCD module is ideal for handheld applications
Digital Displays, the official UK distributor for Displaytech HK, has launched the 240320DL/P Series QVGA module.
In addition to distributing the company's standard products, currently ranging in size from 15 to 19in, GPEG will also be seeking opportunities to embed this technology into its own range of touch monitors and OEM products for introduction to markets such as gaming, kiosks and home automation.
"It's amazing when you first see a demonstration", comments Nick How, CEO GPEG International.
The system works with two embedded sensors that listen to, and decode, acoustic touches on the surface of glass of almost unlimited size.
The system is immune to dust, water and scratches will work with both fingers and a stylus, and overcomes all the drawbacks of traditional touch technologies.
"Combined with SO's aggressive pricing policy as they enter the market, we expect a very fast take up in all the applications we are targeting", says How.
Olivier Berrouiguet, Sales Director at Sensitive Object agrees: "As well as finding the best distribution partner in GPEG, we believe we have found a well aligned professional team of sales engineers that will add value to Sensitive Object as we enter the market along multiple channels".
