KFAR SABA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--N-trig, the provider of DuoSense® integrated active pen and touch controllers, announced today an optimized solution for the growing tablet segment. The new controllers, in conjunction with the company’s DuoSense Pen2, deliver an intuitive pen-on-paper handwriting and painting experience for tablets of all sizes.
As consumers increasingly demand better functionality than just simple media consumption, the pen has become a common requirement in tablets. By delivering a precise pen with superior palm rejection, hover capabilities, programmable buttons and flexible tip friction options, the DuoSense Pen technology offers clear advantages for tablet users.
“The active pen writing module (including pen sensor, plus pen, plus the controller IC) for tablet and hybrid tablet will hold over 50% market share among the total active pen writing module revenue in 2016 and beyond,” said Dr. Jennifer Colegrove, president and analyst, Touch Display Research. “Active pen shipments will surpass 94 million units this year and we forecast that this will increase to 534 million units by 2020.”
“Because everybody knows how to use a pen, our technology allows tablet manufacturers to significantly increase the productivity and creativity offered by their devices,” said Gary Baum, AVP product marketing, N-trig. “Furthermore, our single controller solution delivers both active pen and multi-touch capabilities to the tablet – enabling faster integration, and thinner and slimmer designs.”
