New Touch Screen Technology Launched By Displax


An innovative product launched by a Portuguese company Displax is all set to change the way we input data and commands on our electronic devices. The company has developed a thin plastic film, which can be used on any surface to work as a touch screen. The thinner than paper plastic film has multi touch sensing and when applied to a surface transforms it into a multi touch screen.

With the launch of this new multi touch skin the use of the keyboards and other input devices will become redundant, because the user will only need his fingers to communicate with the device. Even now, the concept of touch screens is quite popular among users. Up until now the use of such screens was only seen in smart phones and in many Apple products including the recently launched Apple tablet. With this multi touch skin the application of touch screen will widen to other areas as well by converting traditional devices to touch screen devices.

This multi touch film has a matrix of wires embedded in it with the help of which it picks the electrical impulse of the touch and passes it to the computer for processing. The multi touch skin can register up to 16 touches on a 50 inch screen. This film can also be used on various screens from a 7 inch screen to a screen as large as three metres.

The use of this film will not only revolutionise the manner of usage of electronic products like LCD monitor and cell phones, but now businesses can use this multi touch skin on the windows of shops to make the process of shopping interactive.

A useful addition to any hand-held mobile device, and going by trends something that will catch on and only add to the growing popularity of using mobile broadband.
