San Francisco Marriott Marquis

Instructors:

The objective of this four-hour short course is to enable the attendees to become knowledgeable about all of the 13 transparent touch technologies that are used on top of displays, as well as an introduction to the newest “in cell” touch technologies. The technologies are analog & digital resistive, surface & projected capacitive, surface acoustic wave (SAW), traditional & waveguide infrared, optical, acoustic pulse recognition (APR), dispersive signal technology (DST), force sensing, in-cell, and vision-based.

You will learn

• How all 13 of today’s transparent touch technologies work
• Why there are so many touch technologies
• Characteristics, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of each touch technology
• All about multi-touch, the current hot-button in the touch industry
• Where each touch technology is best applied and why
• How to select a touch technology for a specific application
• Common and special materials, equipment and processes used in Touch technology.
• Opportunities for innovation in touch materials, processes and controller chips
• Which new touch technologies will become significant and which will fade away
• Trends in major touch applications from mobile phones to digital signs
• Trends in emerging touch applications from surface computing to flexible displays
• The composition, size and growth rate of the transparent touch market

Who Should Attend

This course is appropriate for anyone who wants to learn about touch. The technical level of the course is moderate, so it’s not necessary to be an engineer to attend – although a technical orientation will allow a student to get more out of the material. Attendees from Sales, Marketing, Product Management, Business Development, Engineering, Research, Manufacturing, and Operations are all encouraged to attend.
