Single-Layer Projected Capacitive Components for Custom Handheld and Mobile Devices
The Elo single-ITO (indium tin oxide) layer projected capacitive touch technology reduces the cost of the technology used in most touch-enabled mobile and handheld devices, while providing a sensitive, accurate and fast touch response. This technology can be easily customized to accommodate a device's unique bezel and electronic requirements. The touch sensor can be built so trace routing is eliminated from up to three sides resulting in an increased touch area and expanded space for application development. It can also be bonded and co-molded to a plastic bezel for unique finishes and novel product styling. The touch electronics, consisting of analog and microprocessor chips with firmware, can be easily integrated and deployed in a wide variety of portable devices.
