"We are seeing very strong reception to our FlatFrog in-glass optical touch product
from consumer PC OEMs and other large screen size format players. The fact that our
existing investors fully subscribed this round reaffirms the confidence in this technology
and progress made by FlatFrog," said Dhwani Vyas, CEO of FlatFrog. "I welcome the
continued support from our investors, and look forward to successful commercialization of
this technology."
A range of high volume consumer PC products can be enabled with FlatFrog Touch
including Notebooks, Tablets, All-in-One PCs and Monitors in display sizes 10" - 30".
FlatFrog Touch is certified for Windows 8.1 and offers a premium touch experience
supporting over 40 simultaneous touches at a lower cost than the leading projected
capacitive touch technology. Unlike projected capacitive touch, there is no sensor grid
(ITO layer) obstructing the viewing experience of the LCD screen. This ensures a superior
viewing experience with maximum transparency and no image quality degradation.
Additionally FlatFrog Touch natively supports pressure sensing with over 10-bit
resolution. FlatFrog Touch enables pressure sensitive drawing and writing without the need
for an active stylus (see demo video [http://www.flatfrog.com/video ]), as well as new
application gestures for music, gaming and smart user interfaces.
