Nanotech startup signs $1.4m 3D touchscreen dealNanotech material developer Peratech has signed a $1.4m licensing deal with one of the world's largest manufacturers of touch screen technology. The licensing agreement gives Nissha of Japan exclusive worldwide rights to use Peratech's Quantum Tunnelling Composites (QTC) for touch screens with 3D input on mobile phones and portable electronic devices for an initial period of 1 year.
QTC is a pressure sensitive nanotech material that can be screen printed alongside capacitative or resistive touchscreens to give a third control dimension of pressure. The switches can be as thin as 75 microns and interfaces can be designed with no start resistance so that without pressure, the switch draws no power and passes no current. Importantly, when pressure is applied, the resistance drops in proportion to the amount of pressure which allows human machine interface designs that react to variations in pressure.
"QTC will be a disruptive technology for mobile phones enabling thinner phones to be designed with amazing new input interfaces," said Takao Hashimoto, Director, CTO of Nissha and General Manager of Technology Research & Development,
"This is Peratech's first million dollar licensing agreement and is a huge testament to the power and potential of QTC technology by one of the world's leading manufacturers of touch screens for mobile phones and gaming consoles," said Philip Taysom, joint CEO of Peratech.
"Nissha came to us two years ago to develop technology using multiple QTC sensors to detect the amount of force that is applied to the touchscreen."
The company, based in Richmond, North Yorkshire, was started in 1996 but changed direction ten years later. "We think of ourselves as a startup since 2006," he said. "Before that we were surviving off government Smart awards." |
