(iTers News) - Japan Display Inc. has developed  a set of crucial buildign block technologies for "Pixel Eyes", a touch sensor-embedded LCD panel  for high resolution tablets, and is gearing up to start  the mass production, aiming to mainly produce 7-inch and larger wide QXGA (1,600 x 2,560 pixels) and 4K2K (3,840 x 2,160 pixels) displays as well as 5-inch class panels for smart phones.  



"Pixel Eyes" is a product incorporating JDI's original technology that implants the touch sensor functions into display panels. Traditionally, a touch sensor module  is discretely stacked on a  LCD module as  a separate component. The single integrated touch-enabled LCD panel will allow panel makers to produce thinner and lighter form factor touch-enabled LCD panels for samrt phones and tablte PCs. It also boasts higher transmissivity, compared with a conventional touch-enabled LCD panel.  


It will not only open the way for a comfortable touch operation experience but also a broad range of user interfaces, including a stylus input.


Stacking touch sensors inside a LCD panel was a touch challenge, mainly because of huge signal inteferences that slow down driving performances of the LCD panel.      


Yet, JDI tackled the issue by developing a mechanism to sharply lower the resistance of wiring used in the built-in touch sensor and combined it with its unique drive technology to establish the world's first  touch sens-built-in display panels for high-resolution tablets.


JDI's Mobara Plant  in  Chiba, Japan) is now fine-tuning its sixth-generation 1,500 x 1,850mm glass substrate low temperature poly-silicon or LTPS line to start mass production of "Pixel Eyes" for high resolution tablets in the fall of 2014.
