Atmel Corporation announced XSense, its revolutionary, highly flexible film-based touch sensors. XSense touch sensors will not only enable a new generation of smartphones and tablets, but also extend touch capabilities into a wider array of new consumer and industrial products.
Based on a proprietary roll-to-roll metal mesh technology, XSense touch sensors provide a high-performance alternative to existing touch sensors. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) will now be able to develop larger, lighter, sleeker, curved and edgeless designs for smartphones, tablets and ultrabooks. XSense touch sensors are optimal for a wide range of touchscreen products, enabling thinner sensor stacks with excellent optical clarity.
With such advantages as flawless touch performance, enhanced noise immunity, low sheet resistance and low power consumption, designers will now be able to turn unique touch-based concepts into functional designs at lower total system costs compared to current market alternatives.
XSense Availability
XSense touch sensors are sampling now, with production quantities scheduled to be available in the third quarter of 2012.
