DISPLAX™ Multitouch Screen A presentation by: Carly Byron

What is it? Thinner-Than-Paper Transparent Polymer Film Turns Any Surface into a Touchscreen Hardware: Displax Multitouch controller attached to a nanowired polymer film. Software: Firmware, Driver, Control Panel

Features Simultaneously tracks up to 16 Fingers (on a 50 inch screen) Detects Air Movement Different Sizes Weighs Only 300 Grams Works on Any Surface: Flat or Curved - Glass, Plastic and Wood (with a thickness under 15 mm) Unaffected by Lighting Conditions Can be Applied to Backside of a Surface Free Apps Pack

How Does it Work? Small Electrical Disturbance  Signal Nanowired Grid Controller The 'skin' is based on patent-pending projected capacitive technology and receives inputs through a grid of nanowires embedded into the film attached to the enabled surface. Signals appear when a finger is placed on the screen or the user blows on it, because such acts produce a small electrical disturbance that is then passed through the aforementioned grid to a controller that analyses the data and decodes the location of each input. The controller, thus, tracks the finger and/or airflow movements. Even more convenient is the film's scalability, making it applicable on screens ranging between seven inches and three full meters in diagonal. This makes the DISPLAX Multitouch technology an appealing choice to both indoor and outdoor displays for a wide range of commercial applications.
