Stantum and Sitronix Team to Meet Demand for Cost-Effective, High-Performance Multi-Touch in Consumer and Mobile Applications
The multi-touch screen market is driven today by mobile phones, PNDs and MIDs but also by devices with larger screens, such as tablet PCs, netbooks and notebooks. Stantum voltage matrix multi-touch is a proven technology developed and deployed in real products since 2004 and is particularly well suited for mobile and consumer electronics products.
“This partnership will answer the market demand for economical multi-touch controllers with unprecedented performance,” said Etienne Paillard, CEO of Stantum.
Said Sitronix‘s VP Weber Chien: “Stantum’s technology is the most advanced and proven multi-touch approach on the market, and we are very happy to have the opportunity to bring it to the consumer electronics market.”
The first Sitronix product based on Stantum technology will be able to drive small to medium touch panels -- up to 10.1 inches, depending on the touch panel specifications. Two or more chips can be cascaded in order to control larger touch panels.
The product will benefit from the latest capabilities of Stantum‘s multi-touch technology and Sitronix’s IC design integration, including an unlimited number of touches, finger and stylus input (a must-have for handwriting recognition), finger pressure detection, and unmatched performance in terms of scanning rate and power consumption.
The first samples of this elegant and affordable solution will be available in Q3 2009 and in mass production by Q4 2009. Pricing is available from Sitronix upon request.
