Introduction
Glitzy consumer products such as smartphones have helped make touch-screen controllers quite popular, and touch sensors provide
a convenient way to control virtually any type of device. In fact, today’s touch-sensor controllers offer versatile performance
choices and formats such as sliders and proximity sensors that can enhance products in unusual ways. Advances in touch sensor
technology are making sensor-driven interfaces easier to implement, more intuitive, and simpler for end users to operate.
This technology backgrounder profiles the technologies used in touch-sensor controllers and explains the choices available
for getting the best results from various types of touch-based user interfaces - a useful reference for anyone interested
in using touch-sensor technology. Following this reference information is an in-depth look at how specific characteristics
of Fujitsu touch-sensor controllers can optimize user interfaces. From mobile entertainment devices to white goods, touch
sensors can be configured to deliver exactly the right user experience.
