FlexPad
FlexPad is a two-dimensional sensing interface on a flexible (Kapton-based) substrate. Fully customizable, the sensor and the electronics bring a high-end look and feel to industrial designs. This sophisticated capacitive sensing interface is mounted beneath a mechanical keypad, and allows the surface to be used for advanced scrolling and selection features, character entry, or advanced gesture input on handheld devices.
The FlexPad solution improves user interaction by offering simple and intuitive controls, allowing users to easily access complex functions and content. The Synaptics FlexPad solution enables finger-input character recognition capabilities, which improve usability for regions with more complex alphabets. Users are able to access and control multiple applications and menus efficiently and intuitively.
Where you’ll find FlexPad
FlexPad is an excellent solution for mid-range mobile phones and remote controls that need to incorporate rich functionality, such as gestures, into the traditional keypad. FlexPad leverages the familiar PC Interface, speeding feature adoption. It also offers new gestural inputs such as Flick and ChiralMotion that can be used for scrolling or flipping through picture libraries.
