Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq:CY) today announced that its
TrueTouch™ touchscreen solution implements the brilliant
multi-touch touchscreen in the hot new IS03 smartphone from KDDI.
The new phone, manufactured by Sharp Communication Systems Group,
offers a highly responsive and accurate 3.5-inch LCD display
screen.
The IS03 is based on the Android™ 2.1 operating system and
allows users to enjoy dozens of Android applications. It offers
e-mail support, fast web browsing, GPS support, infrared
communications and a 9.6 megapixel camera.
The TrueTouch controller families adapted by IS03 offer an
integrated analog sensing engine for the industry’s fastest and
most accurate touchscreen user experience. This responsiveness
allows tracking of multiple fingers simultaneously with precise x-y
locations and without user delays or problems with erroneous
“ghost” responses. The devices also offer Cypress’s legendary noise
immunity and very low power consumption – an ideal combination for
today’s smartphone market. More information on TrueTouch solutions

customers.”

such as Sharp,” said Hitoshi Yoshizawa, Japan country manager for
