Samsung's Wave 2 and Galaxy phone use Cypress' touch tech

Cypress Semiconductor Corp. has revealed that Samsung Electronics Company Ltd. has selected the TrueTouch solution from Cypress to implement the touchscreen in the Wave 2 and Galaxy 5 mobile phones.

The Wave 2 and Galaxy's touchscreens uses Cypress TrueTouch solution and are powered by Bada/Android operating systems, depending on the model.

Cypress says the TrueTouch controller allows tracking of multiple fingers simultaneously with precise x-y locations and without user delays or problems with erroneous "ghost" responses. The devices also offer Cypress's legendary noise immunity and very low power consumption - an ideal combination for today's smartphone market, claims Cypress.

"Samsung is an excellent example of a world leader that trusts Cypress TrueTouch solutions to help them deliver world-class phones," said Norm Taffe, executive vice president of Cypress's Consumer and Computation Division. "We are building on our technology and market leadership to ensure that customers such as Samsung continue to partner with us."
