New opportunities as LG INNOTEK exits touch panel business

As LG INNOTEK (LGIT) announced earlier this year, the company is exiting the touch panel market. Since 2016 LGIT was our strategic partner for metal mesh touch products. In addition to our own PCAP products up to 32", distribution standard products with Sharp USB controller up to 55" and more were sold. With the surprising discontinuation, we were asked to quickly provide suitable replacement products.

In cooperation with our controller partner ILITEK we developed a new USB controller board (ILI2316), which was relaunched with three touch sensors in the highrunner sizes 42", 50"(49") and 55". This board is the basis for a fast, suitable alternative to LGIT products. Other niche diagonals are covered with metal mesh touch supplier MN-Tech.
