Perceptive Pixel Launches Display Perceptive has unveiled what it says is the first professional multi-touch desk- top display, a high-resolution, optically bonded, projected capacitive 27-inch LCD display. The performance and form factor of this new offering make it appropriate for professional users in fields such as geo- intelligence, DCC, CAD, energy explora- tion, medical imaging, and other visual- ization-intensive sectors, enabling them to work directly on the screen to access and manipulate complex data. True multi-touch at this scale and fidel- ity was previously technically impossi- ble. While projected capacitive technol- ogy is widely used in smaller handhelds and slates, it is notoriously difficult to deploy at large display sizes or if the sensor glass is placed close to a display due to electrostatic interference from the LCD panel itself. To achieve 24-inch plus diagonals, manufactur- ers typically distance the sensor glass far from the display, and the resulting parallax makes the device unusable for serious applications. Perceptive Pixel says it has optically bonded the sensor glass to the display, thereby resolving the parallax issue while achieving an improved touch performance with a response time of less than 1 msec. The in-plane switch- ing panel offers color accuracy and 3560x1440 resolution for the desktop display. In other news, the company released at SIGGRAPH 2011 an 82-inch true multi-touch, projected capacitive LCD display, assumed to be the largest opti- cally bonded, flat-panel, pro-cap display in the world. Featuring a slim profile (which measures just six inches in depth), the new 1920x1080 full-HD resolution wall display is particularly suited for use in creative, collaborative environments, such as design reviews, concept pitch- es, storyboarding, and brainstorming sessions, among others.
