Synaptics Inc., a leading
developer of human interface solutions, today announced that Google has
selected the ClearPad® 3350 capacitive touchscreen
solution to power its latest flagship smartphone device, the Nexus 5. As
a single-chip touch controller solution, which integrates touch
directly in the display, ClearPad 3350 enables leading OEMs to develop
thinner, lighter, brighter and more responsive smartphone touchscreens.
With ClearPad 3350, Nexus 5 users can experience the industry's first
full high-definition (HD) In-Cell touchscreen, along with best-in-class
touch sensitivity. Clearpad 3350 also incorporates software filters for
excellent noise avoidance, while providing 10-finger multi-touch and up
to 120 Hz touch refresh rates.
First introduced in 2011, Synaptics' patent-pending In-Cell
touchscreen technology pushes the boundaries for device form factor and
user input responsiveness in the Nexus 5. Working in close collaboration
with LCD display manufacturers, Synaptics developed the ClearPad
In-Cell technology by integrating touch functionality directly into the
device's LCD display versus an additional discrete sensor layer. As a
result, OEMs are able to deliver even slimmer devices with virtually
zero display noise during touch sensing.
ClearPad 3350 Key Benefits:
- Ultra-thin Designs: Provides the thinnest solution available today by reducing the thickness by up to ~1mm, depending on the cover lens used.
- Brighter Displays: Increases the brightness by 10% by eliminating sensor transmitters on the color filter glass.
- Total System Cost Savings: Reduces total system cost through supply chain efficiencies and complete removal of a discrete sensor stackup.
- Display Compatibility: Provides maximum flexibility to the OEMs by making the solution fully compatible with TFT-LCD, a-Si and LTPS display types.
- User Interaction Features: Provides features like glove operation and stylus tracking by utilizing advanced trans-capacitance sensing in the display integrated systems.
"The Nexus brand of devices has long been known for innovative design
and functionality, and our ClearPad technology supports this legacy by
providing end users with the absolute best touchscreen experience
available today," said Kevin Barber,
senior vice president and general manager, Smart Display Division for
Synaptics. "This latest design win with Google further underscores
Synaptics' growing leadership in the mobile market and our commitment to
forging strong partnerships across the mobile ecosystem to deliver
groundbreaking, marketleading touchscreen technologies."
Synaptics will showcase its entire portfolio of human interface
products at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show. Customers and suppliers
are encouraged to contact their Synaptics partner to arrange a meeting
time at CES. Media are encouraged to contact synaptics@text100.com to arrange a meeting time.
