Touch on Lens touch technology can be popularized in 2011

According to foreign media reports, DisplaySearch analysts pointed out that Touch on Lens touch technology reduces the structural layer of the projected capacitive touch panel. Some touch module manufacturers have long provided such structured touch panel products. However, until the end of 2010 and early 2011, many brand manufacturers like Nokia, Apple, Samsung, etc. began to demand thinner and lighter products. Cost-competitive touch panel products. It is expected that this will help the popularity of sensor-on-cover technology in 2011.

According to the observation of DisplaySearch, traditional projected capacitive touch panels must use 1-2 pieces of glass to make touch sensor Touch Sensor, plus Cover Lens (or cover glass surface glass), resulting in more complex Structure, therefore, recently touch panel module manufacturers are actively integrating the touch sensor into the surface cover, hoping to reduce the material cost and reduce the thickness and weight of the touch panel module.

Although various touch module manufacturers have different names for this new process, including one glass solution, integrated sensor touch window, Touch on lens, direct mode window, G2 and so on, these actually belong to the touch sensor. The method of integration into the surface cover. Each method uses a piece of glass (or plastic composite film) as a substrate for the surface cover and touch sensor.

In addition, new touch panel technologies that integrate touch sensors include on-Cell and in-Cell, among others. Among them, on-Cell integrates a touch sensor on a display panel (eg, TFT-LCD, etc.), and in-Cell integrates a touch sensor into a color filter. DisplaySearch believes that the first choice for this type of technology will be display panel makers because they will be able to take full advantage of their display and touch capabilities, and touch panels will no longer have their own substrates.
