Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq: CY) today announced that
its TrueTouch™ solution for large multitouch touchscreens is
featured in the new ICONIA tablet from Acer Inc. ICONIA boasts two
multitouch all-point displays that provide users with responsive,
intuitive navigation and an enhanced content consumption
experience. The ICONIA with TrueTouch is the industry’s first
10-finger touchscreen based on a multi-chip solution for large-size
screens.
Cypress’s TrueTouch for large screens supports screens up to 14
inches. Cypress’s large-screen TrueTouch platform delivers low
power consumption and high performance with full multitouch
support. All of the leading ITO sensor vendors support TrueTouch,
providing designers with flexibility, optimal performance and
quality. Cypress’s large-screen TrueTouch platform expands its
leadership position in small-screen portable electronics – such as
handsets and portable navigation devices – into large-screen
portable PC products and tablets.
ICONIA employs the Intel® Core™ i5 processor and runs the
Windows 7 operating system, providing a powerful platform for
running applications of all kinds. Its two 14-inch displays can by
merged together to show one window, or can independently display
multiple windows. Both displays have HD 1366x768 resolution,
high-brightness Acer CineCrystal™ LED-backlit TFT LCDs and take
advantage of the TrueTouch technology to deliver precise on-screen
response. The displays offer palm rejection, a 10-finger virtual
keyboard, and sophisticated touch control for multimedia, web
browsers, and applications.
“Acer ICONIA offers an entirely new computing and all-point
touch experience for users,” said David Lee, Associate Vice
President of Mobile Computing Business Unit, Acer Inc. “The
TrueTouch solution delivered the low power and outstanding
performance we demanded, along with the flexibility to implement
our vision for this product. Once again, we are presenting our
customers with an intuitive and easy-to-use interface that they
have come to expect from Acer.”
“The TrueTouch technology has proven itself inside millions of
handheld devices worldwide,” said Norm Taffe, executive vice
president of Cypress’s Consumer and Computation Division. “We’re
excited to bring the same performance, flexibility, innovation and
reliability to tablets and other large screen applications with an
exceptional showcase for touch technology such as the ICONIA.”
Cypress offers the industry’s broadest portfolio of capacitive
touchscreen solutions including single-touch, multitouch gesture
and multitouch all-point offerings. Cypress was the first company
to introduce multitouch all-point functionality, which can track 10
or more touches simultaneously. This multitouch all-point solution
has been in mass production since 2008. TrueTouch is the industry’s
most flexible touchscreen architecture, which allows designers to
implement differentiated features and make last-minute design
iterations without board changes. In addition, TrueTouch devices
offer Cypress’s world-class noise immunity with patented capacitive
sensing technology that enables flawless operation in noisy RF and
LCD environments. Additional information about the TrueTouch
solution is available at www.cypress.com/go/TrueTouch.
