InPlay Technologies (NASDAQ: NPLA), a developer of innovative human
interface devices for electronic products, has entered into a
development agreement with Blue Cube LCD, a leading display
integrator. Under the agreement, Blue Cube is utilizing InPlay�s
integrated digital pen and capacitive touch input solution to
design computing platforms for OEM customers. �We are pleased to
enter this new relationship with Blue Cube, a company known for its
innovative custom solutions. Blue Cube serves a roster of
well-known OEMs, making this a strong validation of our
technology,� said Ramesh Ramchandani, president and COO, InPlay.
InPlay�s design integrates its patented, active digital pen and
multi-finger capacitive touch input, allowing the user to choose
the most natural and effective input means. The active digital pen
optimizes handwriting recognition and allows for added digital
features. The capacitive touch screen offers a quick, proximity
sensing, intuitive interface for cursor selection and navigation.
�We always keep an eye toward the latest technology,� said Jason
Meyer, Blue Cube CEO. �InPlay provides a compelling package with
its digital architecture, progressive roadmap for touch integration
and feature enhancement capability. This unique technology allows
us design flexibility and gives our customer a leading-edge
interface solution.� InPlay�s patented digital computing system
allows the user to communicate directly with the computer or other
electronic device via an active RF signal. The digitizer behind the
LCD screen employs bi-directional electromagnetic technology to
communicate with the pen as it moves across the surface, reporting
the tip status, sensitivity, pen position, and other details. The
active digital pen optimizes handwriting recognition and allows for
added digital features not easily achieved with analog products.
InPlay offers OEMs the choice of battery-powered or battery-free,
cordless or corded pen products, all designed to meet a wide range
of markets from smartphones to tablet PCs. About Blue Cube LCD
