CN Innovations (CNI), well known for developing touch sensors included in many devices including for top brand mobile device makers, is partnering with Cambrios Technologies Corporation to enter the market for designing and manufacturing complete touch sensor modules.
CNI will use its properiatary laser patterning equipment to manufacture touch sensors for phones, tablets, ultrabooks and All-In-One computers starting in the first quarter of 2013. Cambrios will showcase Ultrabook-sized touch sensors manufactured by CNI and including Cambrios’ ClearOhm™ coating material at the 2013 International CES, January 8 – 11, 2013 in Las Vegas.
“We believe the combination of Cambrios’ ClearOhm coating material and CNI’s proprietary manufacturing processes will offer ODMs and OEMs an important new resource,” said John LeMoncheck, President and CEO of Cambrios. “This new relationship further expands our partner ecosystem and represents another proof point that ODMs and OEMs are eager to move away from traditional conductive materials to new, innovative materials that offer superior conductive performance as well as enable a new generation of products.”
In addition to producing a wide range of cover lens, glass coatings, and capacitive touch panels, CNI maintains a metal injection molding, metal processing and surface treatment operation, as well as produces window films and optical components. CNI is part of the Chungnam Group of Companies, headquartered in Hong Kong.
“Cambrios’ ClearOhm coating material is ideal to combine with CNI proprietary laser patterning to create high-quality touch sensor modules,” said Charles Chong, Managing Director of CNI. “We are continuously seeking out new innovations with the goal of improving the performance and cost effectiveness of our panels, and Cambrios’ technology represents an important advancement in transparent conductive materials.”
Cambrios’ ClearOhm coating material enables development of high-conductivity transparent film ranging from 10 to 300 Ohms/square with superior optical performance. It offers significantly higher optical and electrical performance than competitive technologies, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), in current applications such as touchscreens. Touch sensors based on ClearOhm Ink are more cost effective than existing technologies, thus allowing faster mass-market adoption of touch-enabled tablets, laptops, Ultrabooks and All-in-One computers.
