Boom of touch-screenes.
by Silvia Szarkova
“There's really no room left for buttons,“ said Andrew Hsu, expert of touch-screen technology from Synaptics Inc. , which supplies touchpads for Apple´s laptops. And he convince the fact, that the demand for touch-screens is getting suprisingly tremendous. The year 2008 has already been a good year for touch- screens- and it´s not over yet!
After launching the first iPhone model a year ago, it thrilled many people, and it´s a fact that the updated model available from Friday will continue to make intense excitement. And this is making a good business for touch- screen manufactorers .
Jennifer Colegrove, analysist at iSuppli Corporation, said that after first iPhone, many companies realised that they also could do a kind of touch-screen mobile phones. And the business call out by Apple has started for many companies. American Sprint Nextel Corporation has just introduced its Samsung Instinct based on this technology. Verizon Wireless also came this year with first two models using a touch-screen. Sony Ericson is about to introduce its model. Popular BlackBerry by Research in Motion Ltd. is also suppossed to be designed to its touch- screen model. And Jennifer Colegroove expect an amount of 341 million sold touch- screen worldwide, in comparance of 2007 record 218 million and 2006 81 million pieces.
The demand for touch screens is propably driven by new phones in Asian market, which allows to users write Japanese or Chinese characters with stylus, and that´s much more easier than with buttons, supposse Colegrove.
Most of touch- screen´s most important part- touch sensors are manufactured in Japan, China and Taiwan by Nissha Printing Corporation, Wintek Corp. And Truly Semiconductors Ltd, but the supplier of first iPhone´s touch sensor was German Balda AG. In the Unirted States the biggest suppliers are 3M Corp., Synaptics Inc. and Cypress Semiconductors Corp. Makes chips to controll the sensor.
The first Synaptics´phone Onyx in 2006 was put together to demostrate the technology, then Korean LG used it in Prada phone, but Apple with iPhone was the first who really broke the barriers and opened a new market worldwidely.
