World’s first Multi-Touch Controller for Resistive Type Touchscreens
Increasing number of screens panels in various consumer electronics are touchscreen panels, which has been driven with increasing functionality and sophistication of electronic devices, where operation of touch panels is increasing shifting toward pinch, spread and other intuitive finger gestures. UP to now, the only way to make this happen was through use of more expensive electrostatic capacitance type touchscreens which require certain input devices. Now, in order to give the same type of multi-touch (two-point) capabilities and intuitive gesture control, including pinching, spreading and rotating to resistive-type touchscreen due to their low cost, Rohm has developed industry’s first multi-touch controller for resistive touchscreens.
