ST, for instance, announced Friday (June 10) what it claims is a breakthrough noise-rejection technology for integrating touchscreens inside LCDs, either by adding an extra layer to their existing LCD stack-called "on-cell"-or by multiplexing electrodes on the same layer as those which write pixels on the LCD-called "in-cell."
Talk about noise...Could it be that the marketplace is now expecting the ability to touch a display as a UI requirement?
Does it really matter "who" is adding a layer to the product?Sounds more like the usual evolution of a technology - when a feature becomes popular, you design it in rather than adding it on...
Much like the debate about 3D becoming a standard feature of an LCD screen. But it this case the marketplace is driving the adoption of the new feature...
