The expansion adds twenty additional distributors to sell and support SmartSwitch products.

In addition to the option of selecting LCD or OLED technology, engineers are also able to specify single, bi-color or RGB LED backlighting as well as 36x24 or 64x32 resolutions. These devices are fully programmable with real-time sequencing that simplifies multi-decision operations.
The SmartSwitch product line consists of the OLED Rocker; OLED Pushbutton; OLED Display; 64x32 LCD Pushbutton; 64x32 Compact LCD Pushbutton; 64x32 LCD Display; and a variety of 36x24 LCD pushbuttons, compact LCD pushbuttons and displays.
The innovative OLED Pushbutton was named one of Electronic Products' 2009 Products of the Year. In addition, NKK's OLED Rocker was named a finalist for product innovation awards from Design News and EDN.
