ClearButtons

Synaptics ClearButtons™ touch panels are high-resolution capacitive touchscreen solutions for mobile devices. As part of the ClearTouch family, our ClearButtons touch panel is an easy-to-use, discoverable interface for screen navigation, selection, and interactive input. As the amount of digital content and applications for handheld devices increase, simplifying navigation becomes more important. ClearButtons brings you an innovative, reliable solution.

ClearButtons touch panels are cost-optimized solutions for devices that require fixed-position GUI controls (e.g., the size and location of GUI buttons and scrolling regions do not change). ClearButtons touch panels are well-suited for use as button arrays, scrolling regions, and volume controls.

Where you’ll find ClearButtons

A ClearButtons touch panel is an excellent solution for handheld devices that have rich functionality, but limited space for components. As devices add increased functionality, ClearButtons is the perfect mid-range touch solution. A ClearButtons touch panel is typically placed over a viewable display. Users activate the underlying graphical user interface buttons and controls by touch. A ClearButtons touch panel can also help enhance industrial design to make buttons disappear, creating a transparent, clear, sleek look for electronic devices.

ClearButtons benefits

• Industrial Design Advantages—ClearButtons touch panels can be mounted beneath a product’s casing to achieve a sleek, smooth appearance. Resistive touchscreens typically have “wells” around the sensor.
• Flexible Options—Tune sensitivity for operation under a device’s casing or plastic facesheet of up to 1.2 mm thick. Customize the size and shape of the ClearButtons touch panel and electronics module to meet specific device requirements.
• Optical Superiority—ClearButtons touch panels minimize internal reflections that are visible in multilayered resistive touchscreens.
• Low Power Consumption—Doze, sleep, and deep sleep modes help maximize battery life. ClearButtons sensors can be ready for use as soon as 100 milliseconds from device power-on.
• Accuracy—ClearButtons solutions never require calibration.
