United States : Atmel and Corning Collaborate on Ultra-thin, Next-generation Touchscreens with Exceptional Multi-touch Functionality [TendersInfo (India)](TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Corning Incorporated and Atmel Corporation, a leader in microcontroller and touch technology solutions, today announced they are collaborating to develop ultra-thin capacitive touchscreens with superior multi-touch performance for next-generation applications. This collaboration combines Atmel XSense flexible touch sensors with 0.4mm damage-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass. Together, they deliver outstanding capacitive touch performance through thinner flat or curved cover glass. Additionally, the unique circuit design of XSense enables narrower device borders, allowing for a more optimal viewing area. The combination enables industrial designers to create phones, tablets, notebooks, and other multi-touch devices with sleeker, lighter, and more contemporary touch interfaces without sacrificing reliability or performance. Touch modules using cover glass thinner than 0.5 mm with relatively low conductive materials and non-optimal microcontrollers have been difficult to implement due to low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and aliased touch events, resulting in unsatisfactory multi-touch performance. XSense, combined with 0.4mm or curved Corning Gorilla Glass, enables exceptional multi-touch sensor panels that are thin, light, and damage-resistant. Our collaboration with Atmel accelerates the move toward thinner cover glass and enables the use of curved touchscreens for our customers designing next-generation applications, said James Nagel, division vice president, Program Development, Corning Gorilla Glass, Corning Specialty Materials. The toughness of 0.4mm and curved Gorilla Glass, coupled with the remarkable touch performance and flexibility of XSense enables the most exciting consumer experience in the market today. Designers are demanding thinner and lighter touchscreens but cannot compromise on multi-touch performance, said Jalil Shaikh, vice president and general manager of Touch Materials, Atmel Corporation. The combination of Corning s Gorilla Glass with Atmel s XSense, flexible touch sensor delivers industry-leading, multi-touch performance while enabling thinner mobile devices with cutting-edge curved surfaces for tomorrow s consumer applications.
