A challenging opportunity… Multi-touch in mainstream PCs

Companies like Microsoft & Intel driving PCs to multi-touch

Today’s multi-touch solutions considered too expensive for

mainstream UltrabookTM, AiO PCs and monitors

A new approach is needed…

Touch Ultrabooks at

higher-end price points

HP ENVY

TouchSmart

$999

Need to be < $600

to hit mainstream

Cost effective

Multi-touch


8

Comparing today’s touch solutions Suitability for AiOs, Monitors, Tablets, Ultraslims


Resistive Acoustic Camera Infrared Capacitive

Windows 8 performance

Bezel-free / edge-to-edge

Works with gloves

Robust against contamination

Robust in portables

Superior optical clarity

Cost effective above 11"

Technology introduction



10

A new generation multi-touch technology

Targeting mainstream PCs

DA8901

Multi-Touch IC MTICTM enabling Touch

Providing premium performance, lower cost Touch for larger screens 11” and above*

Supporting edge-to-edge bezel-free industrial designs

Perfect for main stream PCs

Ultraslims, Convertibles, Tablets

All-in-Ones, Monitors

10

*compared to capacitive-based solutions


Infrared light injected into cover lens travels

inside the substrate via total internal reflection

11

How does it work?

In-lens light-based multi-touch

Touching causes changes in the light received

by IR detectors (Planar Scatter Detection)

Advanced signal processing converts

detected signals into touch coordinates

TOUCH


12

How does it work?

Adding a new dimension: Pressure

Pressure sensing provides a natural smooth experience

Based on unique optical events

Enabling a 3rd dimension in UI navigation

Bringing touch to life

Stroking with your fingers - feel

Holding an object – hold

Lifting an object – move

Squashing – deform


13

How does it work?

DA8901 touch scanning at 100Hz

Controller

Host

IR emitter /

detector pair

IR emitters &

detectors located

around edges of

display & driven

by DA8901MTICs


14

How does it work?

Flexible screen sizes ideal for PC

From Tablets & Ultraslims to AiOs and monitors

Bezel-free, edge-to-edge designs

Low profile

Sensor PCB

Ultrathin Different screen sizes

and cost/ performance

optimisation by varying

the number of emitter /

detector pairs


11 to 36 inches

15

How does it work?

Simple low cost construction

Diagrams shown are for illustration purposes only

The touch module consists

of only two parts

Edge-to-edge glass or plastic

cover lens with cosmetic

paint and optical filter applied

Sensor PCB assembly with

optical and electronic

components
