Samsung Produces Optical Sensor in Pixel LCD Panels

Published:2011/12/5 1:03:00 Author:Amy From:SeekIC

Samsung introduced that it began mass producing of 40-inch ‘Optical Sensor in Pixel’ LCD panels. These panels feature highly advanced optical sensors, in November. The Optical Sensor in Pixel LCD panel detects reflected images of an object on the panel using Infrared sensors that are built into the panel. With optical sensor in each pixel of the panel, the new panel can much more accurately assess touch sensitivity compared to existing touch panels.

With next-generation image sensing technology, the Optical Sensor in Pixel panel can detect more than 50 touch points and can display images with Full HD resolution and wide-angle viewing.

All of the input functions can be carried out on the panel itself. The panel has wide applications including table top and wall-mounted types. Its tempered glass is strong enough to withstand external loads over 80 kilograms.

Supporting touch and multi-touch sensing and image display simultaneously, and it represents a new paradigm for massively interactive communications, compared to the one-way communication of today’s kiosk touch panels.

Samsung’s ‘optical sensing per pixel’ technology can achieve accurate image sensing without interrupting the image signals displayed on the panel, so it should be well received by many types of professional consultants including stock brokers and financial analysts.

The Optical Sensor in Pixel LCD panel has been built in ‘Samsung SUR40 for Microsoft Surface ’, a table-type PC product, co-developed by Samsung Electronics and Microsoft. SUR40 has been available for pre-order since last month.

The Optical Sensor in Pixel panel has overcome the limitations of touch functionality that have hampered the effectiveness of most interactive displays. With the world’s first mass production of an Optical Sensor in Pixel LCD, Samsung Electronics has set its sights on taking the lead in the global interactive display market.
