How we’re engineering touch screens to eliminate ghost touch in mission-critical applications

07/03/2023 in /by

We build many applications for customers that require absolute precision and reliability for environments where safety and accuracy are important.

We have been working with customers recently on engineering touch screens to absolutely eliminate any chance of ghost touch (false signals of touch inputs on a screen). This has required some creative thinking and deep-level engineering from our in-house display experts.

MipiPlus – the everyday touch display with industrial speed

02/03/2023 in /by

Display products with MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) had previously been limited to purely high-volume consumer products, most notably smart phones. Recently, however, there has been a steady increase of MIPI products across industrial and medical applications and this has created more room for them mainly in handheld applications and sizes due to lower power requirements.

One code wonder: why SimpleSwitch will change your software development process forever

13/02/2023 in /by

It’s a truth universally accepted that the work of software developers is inextricably linked to the hardware their code will finally run on. So, when the hardware changes, so must the code. It’s what has always happened but doesn’t make the process any less frustrating when it comes to meeting tight go-to-market deadlines, or when suddenly your chosen compute modules are unavailable. In these difficult circumstances, developers have always had to suck it up and start from scratch or simply…wait.
