Capacitive touchscreen units with an integrated LCD and graphics controller from Amulet

Amulet Technologies has released its new Capacitive 4.3” GEMmodule and GEMstarter-kit products. These off-the-shelf capacitive touchscreen units come with an integrated LCD and graphics controller to create and run a smartphone-like graphical user interface. The capacitive 4.3” products uses Cypress TrueTouch technology.

“People’s expectations around their GUI experience have evolved since the introduction of the new smartphones” said Paul Indaco, VP of Sales and Marketing at Amulet Technologies. “We are happy to provide a capacitive touch solution for the embedded market that meets these higher expectations and which dramatically reduces time to production by making it easy to develop and modify a graphical user interface”. The new capacitive product line is compatible with Amulet’s GUI development software tool GEMstudio™, allowing customers not only to develop a great looking GUI, but also to easily incorporate gestures (including multitouch gestures) to their graphical user interfaces.
