【 introduction 】 : in the past few years, a lot of electronic products such as mobile phone, tablet, etc are applied to touch screen, it greatly convenient for the customer's operation. But with the development of flexible touch sensors, this sensor will promote the development of flexible touch screen, the future of our mobile phone or computer into a soft paper, then no longer hair so cell phones and computers is too big and bad. 

Beijing time on May 14, the touch screen net news, in the past few years, a lot of electronic products such as mobile phone, tablet, etc are applied to the touchscreen, the great convenience for the customer's operation. As the touch function of the rapid popularity of consumer electronics, led the industry touch sensors use significant growth. But now the touch screen still exist many defects. 

Widely used as the market, equipment manufacturers and suppliers to realize today's touch sensors in support touch function product demand more restrictions. Is one of the main existing touch sensors do not have applied to the flexibility of curved surface and they also can't let the engineer in the entire plane embedded touch screen functionality. However, the use of innovative materials break through these limitations of new sensors are emerging. As a leading micro controller and touch solution provider, love, MEL to launch a flexible touch sensors based on thin film, helps overcome the current technical limitations, so as to realize the new touch product design possibilities and better performance. Market research firm NPDDisplaySearch pointed out that the touchscreen sensor and controller IC industry comprehensive market size of more than $10 billion, and is still growing fast, the industry of larger, thinner and lighter touch sensors has had a huge demand. And ITO alternative materials, such as love of MEL XSense touch sensor technology, the new market is entering the touch sensor, provides designers with thin, lightweight, flexible and durable new design. 

With the development of flexible touch sensors, this sensor will promote the development of flexible touch screen, in the foreseeable future, our mobile phone or computer to be become a piece of soft paper, then no longer hair so cell phones and computers is too big and bad.

Today's young people don't really know what a world without touch screen will be, the children are accustomed to using response its fingers touch interface, teenagers are good at in smartphones and tablets to send E-mail, surf the Internet and download the application. In the past few years, as consumers rapidly adopt which has the function of touch equipment, the use of touch screen environment has been significantly changed. As a result, the industry increased the use of touch sensors, touch sensors is every touch screen needs parts. 

Widely used as the market, equipment manufacturers and suppliers to realize today's touch sensors in support touch function product demand more restrictions. Existing touch sensors, for instance, does not have applied to the flexibility of curved surface and they also can't let the engineer in the entire plane embedded touch screen functionality. However, the use of innovative materials break through these limitations of new sensors are emerging. 

As a leading micro controller and touch solution provider, love, MEL (Atmel) to launch a flexible touch sensors based on thin film, helps overcome the current technical limitations, so as to realize the new touch product design possibilities and better performance. 

Market research firm NPD "pointed out that the touchscreen sensor and controller IC industry comprehensive market size of more than $10 billion, and is still growing fast, the industry of larger, thinner and lighter touch sensors has had a huge demand. And ITO alternative materials, such as love of MEL XSense touch sensor technology, the new market is entering the touch sensor, provides designers with thin, lightweight, flexible and durable new design. 

Love, MEL XSense flexible touch sensors adopt unique fine line bottom metal (fine - line metal, FLM) technology, has many advantages, including the narrow side arc or endless arc; Because of extremely fine alignment tolerance and significantly reduce the flexible printed circuit board (FPC) of adhesive bonding pad size; And better linearity converted into a more precise touch experience. In addition, the sheet resistance of XSense sensor was significantly lower than the traditional touch sensors, resulting in the actual mechanical design advantages, including a bigger touch screen, better antinoise performance, and longer battery life. This means that the designer can now develop thinner, lighter touch screen, compared with the traditional touch sensors, the touch of the touch screen has better response performance.  

However, is the most exciting XSense of flexible material, the material of the flexible allows the design engineer in a wider range of dimension integrated touch screen, from the endless arc applied to curved surface. Product design is now just imagine possible bending area - think of white goods, automotive bending control lever, sports watches, calculators and so on. 

And adopt the new dimension, the end user access to the touch of a richer experience, including the touch of the touch of faster response speed and precision. 

With love, MEL XSense sensor flexible touch screens can also support handwritten pen. As tablets are increasingly popular, the use of handwritten pen to write a application of function become a natural extension of tablet computer processing ability. XSense sensor has better linearity, will make the stylus input is more accurate and more reliable. 

Ultimately, consumer products will continue to push forward design limit and need to be very thin (or zero) sensor boundary width, bending of the surface of the touch and sound sensor performance features and functions, etc. Both LG and samsung through the launch for e-readers and tablets of flexible, folding screen, push the design limit. Using the new type flexible touch sensors such as love, MEL XSense, will further speed up the industrial design of consumer products used for the dramatic speed of development, at the same time provide excellent linearity, noise performance and reporting rate performance. Imagine the 25 years from now on, how will touch function integration in young people's life.
