SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Nov. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- UniPixel, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNXL), a provider of
Performance Engineered Films™ to the touchscreen and flexible
electronics markets, today announced a consumer market laptop
device with a UniPixel touchscreen sensor was awarded Microsoft Pen
Digitizer Certification ensuring that the application and device
are compatible with Windows and will run reliably on the Windows 10
operating system and Windows Server 2016.
After passing certain tests, the Windows Hardware Compatibility
Program allows device manufacturers to use the Windows logo as part
of their marketing. End-users trust the Windows logo as a sign of
compatibility. Enterprise and government customers also look for
the logo, or consult the Microsoft Certified Products list or the
server catalog to see what systems, components and peripherals have
been tested to ensure interoperability and reliability.
Jalil Shaikh, chief operating
officer of UniPixel, commented, "We are encouraged that a leading
systems integrator submitted a product, which included a UniPixel
touchscreen sensor, for Windows Pen Digitizer Certification, and
was granted the certification. The stylus protocol in this device
is similar to the stylus protocol employed in the Microsoft Surface
device. This was the first time that a new device featuring a
UniPixel metal mesh touchscreen sensor was submitted for
certification."
Mr. Shaikh continued, "It is an important development because
the accelerating popularity of the Microsoft Surface platform and
the active stylus protocol built into the Windows 10 operating
system are major drivers of new touch penetration into 2-in-1
conventional laptop device categories. We expect other systems
integrators and computer manufacturers to increasingly seek this
certification to promote the stylus capabilities built into their
next generation products. This certification demonstrates the
efficiency and effectiveness of our XTouch sensors to support the
Microsoft Pen Protocol."
