Synaptics Provides ClearTouch Solutions for LG's New High-Fashion Touchscreen Phone
Synaptics announced that its ClearPad and ClearArray solutions provide the interface on the LG Secret, the third model from the successful LG Black Label Series.
The LG Secret introduces additional multimedia features to the Black Label Series such as an advanced 5.0 megapixel camera and advanced graphical user interface (UI) that takes advantage of Synaptics' intuitive ClearPad touchscreen technology.
The slimmest handset to carry a 5.0 megapixel camera, the LG Secret has an exterior of sleek and durable carbon fiber and a front slide of tempered glass that has a complete capacitive touch interface. ClearPad provides more advanced gesture recognition for the main display and ClearArray powers the control navigation area below it, giving the LG Secret intuitive control of the phone's features. These two touch solutions, comprising the Synaptics ClearTouch family of products, are ideal for thin and elegant design, clearly achieved with the LG Secret mobile phone.
Coupled with the well-designed UI of the LG Secret, Synaptics' ClearTouch products offer an enhanced user experience that traditional mechanical buttons cannot achieve. Applications such as video, gaming, and picture viewing benefit from having a larger display with adaptive intuitive controls.
"We are proud to celebrate yet another successful ClearPad design with the LG Secret," said Tom Tiernan, executive vice president and general manager of Synaptics. "Synaptics' long history in providing innovative design expertise utilizing capacitive sensing technology allows us to provide enhanced interface solutions for next-generation mobile devices with best-in-class usability."
Synaptics' ClearPad and ClearArray technologies are part of the company's growing ClearTouch product portfolio. The ClearTouch product offering is an extension of Synaptics' industry-leading TouchPad technology in notebook PCs. ClearPad and ClearArray provide robust, high-performance touchscreen interface solutions for manufacturers of mobile devices. OEMs utilizing Synaptics' ClearTouch technology can develop customized interactive touch interface solutions with virtual adaptive controls and advanced gesture recognition capabilities to provide an optimal user experience.
