13. iSuppli Corporation – 13 Copyright  2000-2008 iSuppli Corporation. All Worldwide Rights Reserved. Confidential – Patents Pending Mobile Touch  Main Touch technologies for Mobile  Resistive  Capacitive  In-cell/ On-cell touch  Other – Haptics, IR, Active digitizer  Touch Technology Issues  Within LCD there are differences in LCD drive technologies  TN LCD, VA LCD, IPS LCD, AFFS LCD  LCD vs AMOLED  Projective capacitive sensitivity to signal noise for LCDs –It has to be very finely tuned to eliminate the noise and fine tune the signal to noise ratio. While this is achievable it makes it more difficult when you want to add something such as a digitizer to the device components. Each additional source of signal noise has to be taken into account and worked around.  AMOLED overcomes this issue as there is no LC material that needs to align for the drive  AMOLED on-cell touch is faster to the market than LCD on-cell –AMOLED innovatively uses the encapsulation glass as the touch glass surface –No color filter layer improvers transmittance  Taiwan Suppliers are leaders for mobile touch  Capacitive suppliers using old LCD fabs to make ITO coated touch panels  Resistive touch for mobile – Japan, Taiwan, popular in Asia  In-cell/On-cell touch in mostly coming out of Taiwan
