CEO Corner

Dear Touch Point readers:
I would like to start this seventh edition welcoming Pekka Sivonen as chairman of the board of directors. You will learn more about Pekka in the News section.

In this edition of Touch Point, Guillaume Largillier – our company's co-founder and chief strategy officer – reports on CES where he had the opportunity to meet with leading industry editors and analysts. Here's one video clip you'll find interesting - an interview with Joe Desposito, editor-in-chief of Electronic Design

Also, our guest columnist in Take the Floor is Rhoda Alexander, the respected monitor research director at iSuppli Corporation, Rhoda discusses how hardware designers are overlooking an opportunity to move the mobile platform beyond a simple consumption tablet.

Last but not least, as we begin 2011, I'd like to recap some of last year's highlights for Stantum:

The Stantum offer:

Stantum offers today the perfect touch input solution for designing high volume connected devices combining three features:

  • Web surfing and media consumption;
  • Reading books, newspapers and documents;
  • Handwriting for naturally annotating and creating documents.

Stantum's technology combines handwriting close to paper-like user experience, best-in-class multi-touch and cost/performance ratio.  

If you are planning to use any of these products, Stantum can help you build a touch solution matching your requirements:

  • Touch module design (sensor, electronic, software)
  • Prototyping and sampling up to mass production pre-series
  • RFQ management with the supply chain.

 

Do not hesitate to get in touch with your local Stantum representative.

Technology:

  • Both ST Microelectronics and Sitronix have their Stantum multi-touch controller chips shipping worldwide.
  • High-resolution touch modules combining multi-touch with handwriting input are available for evaluation and demonstration to OEMs.
  • External lab (TPL from Japan) tested Stantum multi-touch modules up to 20 million touches.
  • Several high volumes consumer electronic devices are currently designed with Stantum's touch technology.

 

Qualified Touch Panel Partners:

  • At SID Display Week 2010, Gunze USA, a world leader in touch-panel manufacturing and Stantum Qualified Partner, demonstrated its first Stantum multi-touch panels. They now ship to the North American market. 
  • Stantum is also proud to welcome Anxar Technology into the Stantum Qualified Partners program. Anxar is a leading touch-module Chinese manufacturer and is featured in our Grapevine section
  • Stantum will announce new qualified touch panel partners in 2011.

 

We hope you find this edition of Touch Point to be informative and valuable.
