Samsung puts sensor in each pixel for 40in touch LCD

Samsung Electronics says it started mass production of 40-inch multi-touch LCD panels last month for use in a table PC.
The LCD panel uses the firm's Optical Sensor in Pixel technology that it detects reflected images of an object on the panel using infrared sensors that are built into the panel.
"With optical sensor in each pixel of the panel, the new panel can much more accurately assess touch sensitivity compared to existing touch panels," said Samsung.
According to the company, the panel can detect more than 50 touch points simultaneously and can display images with Full HD resolution and wide-angle viewing.
"All of the input functions of a keyboard, mouse or scanner can be carried out on the panel itself," said Samsung.
The Optical Sensor in Pixel LCD panel has been installed in Samsung SUR40 for Microsoft Surface, a table-type PC product, co-developed by Samsung Electronics and Microsoft.
According to Younghwan Park, senior vice president of sales and marketing team, Samsung Electronics LCD business: "With the world's first mass production of an Optical Sensor in Pixel LCD, Samsung Electronics has set its sights on taking the lead in the global interactive display market," he added.
