Tactile technologies

Tactile technologies

Touchscreens have taken over the world of consumer electronic devices. But nearly every such device needs a fully integrated, power-optimized solution. We deliver customized capacitive touch modules to make almost any transparent and non-transparent surface sensitive to your fingers. EM's tactile technology can be adapted to different materials such as plastic, glass and many more. Power consumption optimization lies at the heart of all our solution for portablem and wirleless devices.

Tactile sapphire crystal

Tactile sapphire crystal

High end watches such as the Tissot T-Touch family are exclusively equipped with sapphire crystals. This material is ideal for luxury products because of its superior scratch resistance and its high clarity. The crystal has an invisible capacitive tactile coating which is connected to highly sensitive watch circuitry and allows the user to easily interact with the various watch functions.

Always on touch screen

Always on touch screen

Plastic crystal is the least expensive type of watch crystals; its very easy to manufacture, it can be formed to a curved shape and have an invisible capacitive tactile layer. The Swatch Touch is the only battery-powered device to have a touch screen that is always active because its power consumption is so low that it doesn't need to be set on stand-by mode. It is immediately functionnal at any time.

Interactive smartcards

Interactive smartcards

Battery-powered interactive cards have a display and touch sensitive buttons allowing the owner to interact with his or her card. The key to realize this type of products lies of course in absolute lowest-power integrated components and a smart power management concept of the embedded system.

Wireless headphones are now being controled with the swipe of a finger to skip tracks, pause music or start it again. Placing your whole palm over one side of the headphone can allow external sounds, such as a flight attendant taking your order, to reach your ears. As for most wireless devices, autonomy is a key competitive advantage; we deliver to most power-efficient solution tactile solutions.
