"Atmel is honored to be selected by the CEA for this prestigious award, highlighting our commitment to deliver next-generation touchscreens that are thinner, lighter, edgeless and curved," said Mariel van Tatenhove, director of touch materials, Atmel Corporation. "XSense enables a new era of touch design that was only once imaginable."
XSense was selected for its revolutionary, highly flexible film-based touch sensor that will not only enable a new generation of smartphones and tablets, but also extend touch capabilities into a wider array of new consumer and industrial products. Optimal for a wide range of touchscreen products XSense enables thinner sensor stacks, and offers superior performance and excellent optical clarity. With such advantages as flawless touch performance, enhanced noise immunity, low sheet resistance and low power consumption, designers will now be able to turn unique touch-based concepts into functional designs at lower total system costs compared to current market alternatives.
