ULTRA touchscreens are used directly on the assembly line
Yesterday, the new Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga was opened. There, 2,000 employees will build over 150,000 vehicles per year. This figure is even more impressive when broken down into the number of vehicles produced per day or hour. That'…

The disproportionate growth in customers and sales in ULTRA glass film glass technology forces us to do the right thing.
We are parting with touchscreen technologies in which I personally no longer have any real confidence and specializing even further.

In our Touchscreen Blog we have already reported several times about graphene. It is one of the hardest and most resilient materials in the world and at the same time is very flexible, transparent and relatively light. There are various research projects around the world that specialize in graphene…
PCAP Touch Screen
Touchscreens, which are used in sensitive areas, such as the medical or military environment as well as in aerospace operations, require a much higher electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) than in other areas. This is the only way to ensure that they do not affect other devices through interference…
