Technology is continuously evolving to bring in new products to make equipment easier to use and better in performance. The latest innovation from Portugal based company, Displax, brings new technology to turn any typical screen ad keyboard device to a touch screen using a plastic sheet and micro sensors.

This technology will obliterate the need for keyboards and or any other devices to input data. So far, touch screen technology has been limited to only the latest smart phones and a handful of others. Apple products have traditionally used this technology with great success in many of its products. However, with this latest technology from Displax all users can have access to touch screen technology and convert their old devices too.

The technology is very simple. All users need to do is apply the film on the upper surface of the device; this will enable the device to accept commands when the user touches the multi touch skin. The film is finer than paper and contains a network of wires in it that helps to pick up the tiny touch senses and transfers it into commands. The film has the ability to record a phenomenal 16 touches over a 50 inch screen area.

Displax has also pointed out that the device can be used on large and small screens. The skin can be used across screens measuring from 7 inches to 3 meters diagonally. This means that not only can cellular phones or mobile phones use this technology; but shops can use the multi touch skin on their windows or displays so that many users can interact at the same time. The technology will also enable users to use the normal LCD’s as interactive equipment.

A useful addition to any hand-held mobile device, and going by trends something that will catch on and only add to the growing popularity of using mobile broadband.
