Microchip has announced a partnership with Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. (SiS) to provide customers with a complete projected capacitive touch screen (PCAP) and 3D gesture interface module, which will speed development and reduce costs. Using Microchip's award-winning GestIC technology, these modules will make it easier to design multi-touch and 3D gesture displays, which provide hand tracking range up to 20cm from the display surface. Gestures are universal, hygienic and easy to learn. In addition, they increase safety by reducing the need for precise hand-eye coordination.
Microchip has developed GestIC technology so it can be easily combined with multi-touch PCAP controllers. It is the lowest cost 3D gesture technology on the market. In addition, GestIC sensors are constructed using standard materials and production methods, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), metal mesh, and conductive ink on glass or aluminum foil. These new modules from SiS are the world's first modules to integrate 2D PCAP and 3D gesture technology, providing a complete display solution. SiS has 30 years of experience and expertise in PC chipset products, eMMC, eMCP and projected capacitive touch solutions. In partnership with Microchip, SiS will act as an electronics developer and provide sensor integration. The resulting modules will speed time to market for various designs,
"We are excited to partner with SiS to meet the growing demand for 3D control displays in the consumer, automotive, home automation, and IoT markets," said Dr. Roland Aubauer, Microchip's head of the human-machine interface unit. Microchip is committed to driving human-machine interface technology. Innovative, SiS modules will ultimately enable our customers to integrate these two interface technologies into their applications faster. With this partnership, the next dimension of the intuitive, gesture-based user interface is now available for a variety of end products. "
SiS President Jonathan Shyi added: "SiS is honored to have the opportunity to work with world-class companies such as Microchip." "We are pleased to be able to introduce the world's first 2D / 3D combined solution. Through our partnership with Microchip, we expect these The demand for new products and market share will greatly increase. We are committed to continuously introducing the world to innovative, intuitive and innovative technologies, and this partnership is a good example. "
