Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. has developed a capacitive 3D copper touch panel module for automotive displays. Toppan will proceed with evaluations such as reliability tests.
With Toppan’s microscopic copper mesh wiring technologies, this product supports multi-touch with high-sensitivity through the resin cover of automotive displays and enables operations such as swipe, pinch-in and pinch-out.
Furthermore, with technological cooperation from Wonder Future Corporation, copper touch sensor film has been successfully molded into a 3D curved surface and modularized. This modularization makes a wider range of applications possible. For example, the sensor film can be incorporated into the center console. Circuits of the display screen and control panel are integrated in this product, which can contribute to improved design for the center console.
In addition to personal computers, smartphones, and other mobile devices, the applications of touch panels are expected to expand to new fields, such as tablets for business use and displays for education and automobiles.
Toppan Printing will undertake sample shipments of this new touch panel module in July 2015, targeting sales of 3 billion yen for FY2017 for automotive display applications such as center consoles. Toppan will also push forward with development of 3D curved surface touch pads utilizing the same technologies and look to expand applications to game console controllers and other areas of the amusement sector.
