Visit of Light Blue Optics about touch and pen

April 17, 2014

I’m traveling in Cambridge, England today. I had a chance to visit Light Blue Optics (LBO). Dr. Nic Lawrence, director of product management, and Ms. Evelyne Donnaes, Software team leader at LBO, showed me their touch and pen technologies.

The last time I visit LBO in Cambridge is about 6 years ago when they were developing laser based pocket projectors. Since 2011, LBO has changed business direction and developed optical touch technology. LBO’s expertise is in the touch software, which they named Light Touch.

In January 2014, Light Blue Optics and Promethean announced the integration of LBO’s advanced Light Touch™ technology into ActivWall – Promethean’s newest digital classroom projection offering.

The ActivWall is an interactive digital surface that may be positioned both “front and back” in the classroom. In order to design digital classroom surfaces that allow multiple groups of students to simultaneously collaborate, the new ActivWall features Light Blue Optics’ unique Light Touch™ technology that supports differentiated pen (i.e. the system identifies whether the contact is a pen or touch and operates accordingly) and up to 20 simultaneous touches. LBO also claims their system is lower cost than competitors.

Detail analysis, comparisons of touch and pen technologies can be found in our monthly report: Touch and Emerging Display report, April 2014 issue.

February 13, 2014

Apple just filed several patent applications on quantum dot display and lighting recently, according to US Patent and Trademark office.

One patent application is about better display uniformity can be achieved with quantum dot diffuser and prism sheet. One patent application is using quantum dot with MEMS shutter module.

Touch Display Research surveyed many quantum dot suppliers and found that the quantum dot display component market already surpassed $70 million in 2013.   We forecast that the quantum dot display and lighting component market will reach $9.6 billion by 2023.

Besides Apple, other major brands’ attitude to quantum dot was also analyzed in chapter 6 in the Quantum dot display and lighting technologies and market forecast report. Bill of material (BOM) analysis of quantum dot TV and tablet PC are in chapter 7 in the report.
