New multi-touch display makes like the movies
August 31, 2007
Sharp has just unveiled a new 3.5″ multi-touch display (similar to the one used in the iPhone…in fact, Sharp, is an iPhone display provider) that is only 1mm in thickness and — here’s the real news — sports scanning capabilities. This will allow it to scan fingerprints, bar codes, and business cards right on the display, eliminating the need for any other hardware. I’ve lost count of the number of times I scoffed at a movie or TV show when a character placed their finger or a piece of paper on the screen of a phone or PDA and the device magically scanned it. Well, now it really can. Very cool. Sharp plans to also create larger versions of the technology, up to 12″, making it suitable for point-of-sale operations or subcompact notebooks.
