Features
Operating principle

When a finger is brought close to the sensor (electrode), the capacitance between the finger and the electrode increases, and the coordinate position is detected by detecting which line of the X electrode (vertical) or Y electrode (horizontal) is larger.

The capacitive method allows detection of touch coordinate positions with a light touch.
Multi-touch input is possible and gesture input is also supported (zooming in/out on the screen, turning pages, and tapping are possible).
The sensor is constructed on a glass or film substrate, with glass achieving high transmittance of approximately 90%.
The structure of one glass substrate or two film substrates allows for a thinner and lighter product.
The detection circuit consists of a single-chip dedicated controller, and can be provided mounted on the output tail (COF).
Basic structure
We are developing capacitive touch sensors based on glass and film substrates.
We develop custom products for each user, from the center itself to a combination of FPCs, functional films, and cover materials.
It is widely used in industrial equipment and home appliances.


Glass/film touch sensor

The sensor is based on a glass substrate, making it highly reliable and able to withstand harsh environments. At the same time, it also has high transparency due to being made of glass.
Even for glass sensors, we can accommodate requests for single-axis bending, such as gentle curves.
We also handle soda lime glass, which we see every day, and shatter-resistant tempered glass.
Please feel free to contact us regarding size, shape, etc.

Generally, most touch sensors use transparent electrodes on a glass substrate, but we also handle touch sensors that use a transparent film substrate.
The film substrate is thinner and lighter than glass sensors. It also has the transparency of glass sensors, without the risk of breaking if dropped.
Because the film substrate is soft, we can manufacture touch sensors with not only flat surfaces but also curved designs that are not suitable for glass sensors. We can also discuss sizes and shapes, so please feel free to contact us.

Features | The structure is equipped with a cover (glass or resin) to mitigate cracking and damage to the glass sensor. The cover can also be laminated with a film or coated with optical properties. | The structure is a glass sensor with a film laminated or coated to provide optical properties. It has a simple structure and is a thin sensor. | The structure is a glass sensor with decorative printing, laminated with a film that combines optical properties and coated. | The film sensor specification allows for a curved surface with a capacitance sensor. The strength of the film sensor is maintained by bonding the cover to glass or a molded resin. |
