Digital Multi-Touch

In December 2009, Gunze USA announced a partnership with Stantum, a pioneer developer of multi-touch technology, to co-design and deliver this multi-touch technology to the North American market. Stantum's multi-touch technology will enable Gunze USA to offer touch screens with advantages such as:

• Up to 10 simultaneous touches;
• finger and stylus input;
• finger area detection;
• low power consumption; and
• native Windows 7 support.

This multi-touch technology represents the joint expertise of Stantum's seven years of pioneering, proven multi-touch experience and Gunze USA's leading manufacturing of touch-panels solutions, its workforce, and its know-how.

Gunze USA will provide these custom multi-touch modules to the North American market for use in industrial, automotive, defense, aerospace, medical, kiosk/point-of-sales, and other professional applications. Unlike capacitive multi-touch, the Digital Multi-Touch technology is particularly well suited to these professional markets, thanks to its:

• Immunity to EMI issues;
• Stylus input, enabling handwriting recognition; and
• Ability to work flawlessly with gloves.

Gunze USA reserves the right to make changes to standard products without prior notification. These changes include changes to materials, suppliers, manufacturing locations, or to the manufacturing process.
