CAMARILLO, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
With the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2014) less than 3 weeks away,
Interlink Electronics, Inc. (OTC: LINK), a global leader in sensor and
human-machine interface technologies, released a timely and relevant
White Paper, "Applications of Force Sensing Technology in Consumer
Electronics Devices and Systems". Although touch sensing technologies
have been available since the early 1970's, they were used almost
exclusively in industrial products during the first 20 years of their
existence. Introduction of touchpad mouse devices for laptop computers,
in the early 1990's, represented the first significant transition into
the consumer electronics market. Since then, touch sensing devices have
permeated a wide variety of consumer products, including mobile phones,
game consoles, digital audio systems and more. Today they are an
indispensable component of such systems, and are expected to proliferate
into even more applications in the near future. This paper reviews the
various technologies available, and classifies them by the applications
and products to which they are most suited. Particular focus is given to
force sensing devices and their ability to provide continuously variable
control functionality. Finally, it takes a brief look at what lies ahead
for the industry. The full White Paper can be accessed on the company’s
website (http://www.interlinkelectronics.com).
