Drivers: Increase in use of touch sensors in portable electronic devices and automotive
Touch sensors are widely used in various portable electronic devices such as smartphones, wearables, tablets, laptop screens, and smart TVs. In automotive, they are used in infortainment systems to enhanced user experience. The increase in demand for the electronic devices and automotive is driving the growth of the touch sensors market.
Drivers:Increased integration of touch sensors in smart medical devices
Smart medical devices integrated with touch sensors are gaining traction now-a-days. They has advanced computing and communication technologies that aids in monitoring, collecting, and transmiting patient data to provide better diagnostics and treatment decisions. In addition, wearable devices transmit critical medical data in real time from hospital beds and private homes to physicians, which aids in accurate and on-time treatment. Moreover, adoption of touch sensors for therapeutic treatments is also increased driving the demand for touch sensors.
Challenges: Designing and testing challenges associated with touch sensors
The development of capacitive touch sensor face various designing and testing challenges such as grounding design, false touch, and EMI testing. Stable grounding design is critical to making sure that projected capacitive (PCAP) displays work properly. In addition, touch sensors are highly sensitive and touch screens ae prone to scratches. This may affect the functioning of the touch sensor and result in false touch.
