 "N-trig, Fujitsu Partner To Make Hands-On Computing Faster")
N-trig and Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe (FME) have reached an agreement to co-operate on N-trig’s next-generation chipset, to be developed by N-trig and manufactured by Fujitsu Microelectronics. The combined efforts of the two technology players will provide both the consumer and enterprise markets with the best pen and multi-touch computing experience with multiple simultaneous touch points being recognised.
N-trig’s DuoSense technology, which combines pen and multi-touch capabilities, is utilising Fujitsu’s extensive silicon technology solutions and established production facilities to offer end-users a natural means to hands-on computing. By providing enhanced feature sets for OEMs and ISVs, this partnership will help meet rapid market growth as demand increases for multi-touch-enabled systems.
“Fujitsu’s technology enables us to drive superior interactions with hands-on computing,” said Yaki Luzon, VP-R&D and Engineering, N-trig. “We are committed to continuing to strengthen and advance our supply chain as the hands-on computing market expands with stronger computer offerings from OEMs and new creative applications from ISVs that are attracting noteworthy consumer and enterprise attention.”
The next-generation chipset will provide increased processing power while reducing power and mechanical footprint, allowing significant miniaturisation, and access to additional market segments for the PC industry. The new chipset will enable 10 or more simultaneous touch points at very high refresh rates.
N-trig’s DuoSense technology is available on the Dell Latitude XT/XT2, HP TouchSmart tx2 and will be offered on additional designs this year.
