Multi-touch sensing, the tech that lurks within the iPhone’s shiny exterior, just took a step-up in quality with the arrival of this new display panel from Sharp.
Instead of overlaying a touch-sensitive film as other displays have done, Sharp’s panel features embedded optical sensors, like you’d find in a scanner, behind every pixel on the display. This means you get both great accuracy in the sensing and a clearer image, because there’s nothing sitting on top of the LCD display.
Running at 320 x 480 pixel resolution (double QVGA rez), the 3.5″ Sharp panel’s sensors can also handle all the multi-touch loveliness we’re going to expect as standard when the unit starts shipping in volume in spring 2008. Sweet.
