Synaptics announced that Xiaomi, one of the world’s largest mobile manufacturers, selected its touch and display driver integration (TDDI) technology for its Mi 5s Plus smartphone. In addition, Xiaomi is featuring Synaptics in-cell ClearForce variable-pressure-sensing technology in its Mi 5s smartphone. This in-cell ClearForce implementation is an industry-first, integrating the force sensor layer directly into the LCD stack.
ClearForce enables smartphone manufacturers such as Xiaomi to differentiate their product by enabling new dimensions in user interfaces including mouse-right-click, speed scrolling, zoom, gaming, and text or photo editing by applying variable force on the cover glass with a finger or stylus.
“TDDI solutions are gaining popularity and momentum, and will become the touchscreen controller solution of choice for most smartphones,” said Patrick Moorhead, president and principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy.
