The Lenovo A700 with Elo TouchSystems IntelliTouch Plus technology will be exhibited at Computex in the Elo's booth C422 at the Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1 in Taipei, Taiwan, June 1-5, 2010.

Continuous Innovation

"Elo invented touch technology over 35 years ago," says Mark Mendenhall, vice president, Tyco Electronics and general manager of Elo TouchSystems, "and we've never stopped innovating. This new touch technology joins the extensive portfolio of Elo touch technologies, components, products and solutions developed to meet the changing needs and demands of our customers."

"This new technology exemplifies our company's drive to develop key solutions that help our customers create better solutions for their customers. We've always put the needs of the customer first," Mendenhall states, "and our success in responding to those needs creates new innovative technologies. We developed IntelliTouch surface acoustic wave touch technology over twenty years ago because of customer demand for a more rugged touch technology and we've added multi-touch IntelliTouch SAW technology to our portfolio for the very same reason. Customers are looking for economical solutions that incorporate a balance of characteristics while delivering state-of-the-art multi-touch capabilities."

IntelliTouch Plus Technologies

According to Elo TouchSystems Sr. Product Line manager Abul Nuruzzaman, the multi-touch IntelliTouch Plus technology utilizes the durable Elo TouchSystems surface acoustic wave technology for a precise touch solution. "The pure-glass construction used by the new multi-touch IntelliTouch Plus technology delivers an excellent image and high light transmission just like the single-touch IntelliTouch touch technology customers have trusted for years" says Nuruzzaman. With stable, drift-free operation, IntelliTouch Plus touchscreens will accurately recognize two-finger simultaneous touches. Nuruzzaman confirms, "Elo TouchSystems IntelliTouch Plus delivers reliable performance with excellent screen size scalability, high manufacturing yield and is the cost-effective multi-touch technology for the market. And, it comes from the leader in touch technologies for nearly 40 years, Elo TouchSystems."
