SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Fujitsu Components America Inc. has released production samples of its next-generation, resistive touchpanels. The new touchpanels use an organic conductive polymer material that offer five times the durability and comparable optical properties of conventional (indium tin oxide film) panels, Fujitsu says.
The company says it will demonstrate the new panels May 22-24 at the Society for Information Display exhibits in Long Beach, Calif.
The Fujitsu panels use a conductive polymer material that is scratch-resistant, sealed, and able to withstand harsh chemical and input abuse, the company says. Fujitsu is releasing two types of conductive polymer touchpanels: a film-film-plastic type (FID-533 series) and a film-glass type (FID-554 series).
The panels will be available in selected sizes and then expanded to cover all standard product sizes. Volume production is expected to begin by fall 2007.
