Delivers industry’s first cost-competitive projected capacitive multi-touch solution for ultra responsive large format touch screensTAIPEI, Taiwan - Tuesday, August 25th 2015 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cima NanoTech, a developer and manufacturer of transparent conductive film solutions, announced today that it has entered into a joint venture with Foxconn, the world’s largest ICT technology provider and vertically integrated device manufacturer, to deliver the industry’s first cost-competitive, projected capacitive (pro-cap) solution for large format touch screens. Both companies will sell SANTE® ProTouch™ modules through Cima Touch, the company formed under this joint venture.
Foxconn’s expertise in the mass production of reliable, high-quality products, coupled with Cima NanoTech’s proprietary SANTE® self-assembling nanoparticle technology, delivers a cost-competitive solution for customers looking to shift from infrared (IR) touch technology to pro-cap multi-touch solutions and systems.
“SANTE® ProTouch™ modules will be manufactured at our newly established, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities,” said Jon Brodd, CEO of Cima NanoTech. “Having a full, in-house supply chain for large format projected capacitive touch solutions is an industry first, and ensures that we have full control over the quality and reliability of SANTE® ProTouch™ modules.”
SANTE® ProTouch™ modules provide users with ultra fast response for an intuitive multi-user, multi-touch experience, making it an ideal solution for interactive digital signage, interactive kiosks, interactive tabletops and interactive whiteboards. The overall design and product appeal of the touch system is also enhanced with edge-to-edge cover lens and narrow bezel.
“Cima NanoTech has a cutting-edge, disruptive technology which puts them at the forefront of high performance innovations.” said Kevin Chen, Director of Foxconn Technology Group. “Our partnership with Cima NanoTech enables us to break new ground and address the rapidly growing large format touch market.”
SANTE® ProTouch™ modules are available in sizes ranging from 40” to 85”. The non-moiré characteristic of SANTE® self-assembling nanoparticle technology makes it compatible with all LCD display models in the market; the highly customizable nature of SANTE® ProTouch™ modules also provides manufacturers and system integrators with the freedom to design features such as cover lens thickness, glass type and bezel width.

This is a great news I’ve read. Cima NanoTech and Foxconn announces their partnership to develop powerful devices. They are focusing to sell, marketing and supporting a large format of devices that equipped with projected capacitive touch screen technology. Projected capacitive technology is becoming one of the most rampant touch technologies for an expanding variety of applications on different devices to commercial applications in retail, gaming and signage. The increasing number of users of touch-enabled mobile devices, consumer and professional expectations for touch applications have moved far beyond from single touch requirements into the realm of multi-touch and multi-user capabilities. Projected capacitive touchscreen technologies detect touch by measuring the capacitance at each addressable electrode. So, the only way to manage this touch screen technology is a conductive object. Among the other touchscreen technology, this will give as the best accurate result when we touch the screen. Thanks for sharing the news and the Cima NanoTech will have a great ideas!
