Japan Display (JDI) has developed a 5.0-inch Full-HD (1,080 x 1,920 pixels) TFT LCD module with JDI’s proprietary integrated touch functionality” Pixel Eyes”. “Pixel Eyes” detects touch through changes in capacitance between electrodes on the TFT substrate and on the color filter substrate. There are various requirements for LCD module performance in the market today, such as higher resolution, wider viewing angle, higher picture quality, lower power consumption, and thinner module thickness. In addition, higher productivity of touch-based devices is becoming more important to cope with wide and rapid fluctuations in smartphone demand.

Fujitsu Laboratories and Fujitsu R&D Center today announced the development of 3D hand gesture recognition technology that, using video captured on a single PC or tablet camera, can detect not only vertical and horizontal hand motion, but also the forward and backward movements of increasing or decreasing distance of a hand from the display. With existing hand gesture recognition technology it has been possible to detect hand motions along the vertical and horizontal axes, which represent operations similar to moving a mouse cursor. However, detecting forward and backward hand motions—changing distance to perform the same function as a mouse click—has proven difficult.

AGC (Asahi Glass) announced today that it will release its new self-adhesive glass for optical bonding that bonds directly to display devices used in tablets and other electronic products. The product, which significantly simplifies the process of bonding cover glass directly to display devices, will greatly contribute to the proliferation of more vivid and clear displays. Optical bonding optimizes the refractive index of resin to minimize the loss of light for enhanced visibility. The new product also is suitable for IPS-mode LCDs, of which image quality is prone to be ununiform due to the pressure created when the cover glass is bonded to the LCDs.
