Cypress achieves multitouch design-win in world's first two-part mobile phone design

July 21, 2010 | Phil Ling | 222900929
Cypress's CY8CTMG200 controller will be used in the touchscreen of the world's first separable handset from NTT DOCOMO, the docomo PRIME series F-04B mobile phone.
The phone's screen is capable of operating separately from the keyboard. By detaching the phone's keyboard from the display, users can send e-mails, watch TV broadcasts or search address books using the touchscreen interface, while talking on the baseband.

The docomo PRIME series F-04B phone integrates a 12.2-megapixel high-quality camera along with its 3.4-inch VGA display with user-friendly touch control. The display can be attached to a projector unit, enabling users to view phone content on a screen as large as 66 inches.

"The TrueTouch solution has provided the flexibility to meet Fujitsu's innovative feature requirements for the docomo PRIME series F-01A, F-01B and F-04B phones," said Hitoshi Yoshizawa, Japan country manager for Cypress. "Japanese handset makers are developing the world's most advanced phones, and it is fitting they are choosing TrueTouch as the industry's most advanced touchscreen solution."

Cypress's TrueTouch family includes single-touch, multitouch and multitouch all-point offerings. Cypress was the first company to introduce multitouch all-point functionality; tracking an unlimited number of touches.

Cypress also recently announced a new 'hover detection' feature, as demonstrated in the video below:
