ASUS Selects Atmel XSense Flexible Touch Sensor for Next-Generation Tablet

Using Atmel XSense touch sensors, a 2013 CES Innovations award winner, the new ASUS tablets offer consumers superior touch performance. ASUS already offers several Android-based tablets, including its award-winning Eee Pad Transformer powered by Atmel maXTouch® technology.

“We are thrilled to have an inventive company such as ASUS select our XSense technology for their new tablet,” said Jalil Shaikh, vice president and general manager of touch materials, Atmel Corporation. “ASUS is one of the first companies to integrate and bring to market our revolutionary touch sensor technology to the mass market taking advantage of XSense’s improved performance and better noise immunity. We are excited to team with ASUS and look forward to continuing this collaboration.”

Optimal for a wide range of touchscreen products, XSense touch sensors provide a high-performance alternative to existing touch sensors. XSense enables thinner sensor stacks with superior performance to enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as ASUS to develop larger, lighter, sleeker, curved and edgeless designs for smartphones, tablets, ultrabooks and a plethora of next-generation touch-enabled products.
