Wacom Capplus Capacitive Touchscreens Up To 46-Inches In 2009

Wacom are planning to deliver capacitive touch panels, similar to that used in the iPhone and iPod touch, in 2009 under the name CapPLUS. Going by the press release, the company is initially planning larger-scale panels than used in the Apple devices, intended for desktop monitors and vertical market equipment such as medical and entertainment.  However the CapPLUS specifications confirm that panels from 3-inches to 46-inches will be available.
According to Wacom, their capacitive system – which uses Reversing Ramped Field Capacitive (RRFC) technology – surpasses rival touchscreens in a number of ways.  Accuracy problems around the edges of the screen, drifts in calibration and sensitivity to electromagnetic interference have all been bypassed in CapPLUS; it can also be used when wearing surgical or other thin gloves.
