Draw Better With Wacom Innovative Touchscreen Technology
Friday, April 25th, 2008Wacom Company, specializing in pen tablets, interactive pen displays and digital interface solutions, announced Reversing Ramped Field Capacitive (RRFC) touch, a major innovative capacitive touchscreen technology to be introduced at the International Society for Information Display Exhibition, that will take place in Los Angeles this May.

This technology is designed with low-power circuitry and breaking reversing ramped electro-static fields for precise drift-free performance. With this innovative technology, Wacom can offer true flexibility for interface solutions to OEM partners.
Today’s surface capacitive touchscreens have many limitations, which Wacom’s RRFC technology has overcome. Wacom has new static field engineering to enable drift-free performance. RRFC features advanced ASIC design and high resolution signal processing, which is immune to noise. And it is also the only one technology that can show great accuracy, stability and sensitivity.
Both RRFC touch and EMR pen input techs can work together off of a single ASIC and MCU pair and thus reducing consuming of materials and manufacturing inputs. What is more, Wacom can boast highly durable transparent glass sensors, as well as multiple coating and bonding options and easy-to-read driver software.
New controller processing methods with system design enable accurate pointing without big costs and at evidently low power consumption levels. Any OEM should pay attention to the Wacom’s progress so that to move beyond resistive touch solutions.
Having increased sensitivity and durability, compared to older resistive capacitive touchscreens, new solution offers up to 95 percent of transmissivity. RRFC touch technology needs less pressure and poses tough surface.
Let’s hope that most companies will trust Wacom and integrate its technology into their models to hit the market with better tablets and screens. It would be great to draw better on a durable and sensitive screen which responds both to touch and pen.
