These false touches, commonly associated with capacitive touch sensing, have limited the adoption of touch for safety critical uses including medical, industrial and automotive applications.<\/p>\n<p>The integrated solution is based on FlexEnable\u2019s low-temperature organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) fabrication expertise using Merck lisicon OTFT material technology together with Merck\u00a0 licristal liquid crystal materials.<\/p>\n<p>All of the circuitry that drives the organic LCD is integrated alongside the 3D touch sensing elements, making display and force touch a single component in terms of design and system integration.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a high-resolution force-sensing display. The force sensor provides a raw spatial resolution of 25ppi using 100 by 64 active-matrix sensing elements for the 3D touch sensor.<\/p>\n<p>The elements, or sensels, detect both location of touch points and the amount of force applied to each sensel in the contact area, making the theoretical interpolated resolution greater than 10,000ppi with standard ICs typically used in consumer, automotive, and industrial electronics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a significant technological milestone for us,\u201d said Jon Stark, Peratech CEO. \u201cNo other flexible active-matrix 3D touch sensor with integrated display is available on the market today.
