UniPixel Receives Pre-Production Purchase Order for XTouch™ From Tier 1 PC Manufacturer

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- UniPixel, Inc. UNXL, a provider of Performance Engineered Films™ to the touch screen and flexible electronics markets, announced today that it has received a pre-production order from a Tier 1 PC original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for more than 1,100 XTouch sensors for a new tablet computing product.

The order is based on the success of 1,200 units that were previously shipped to the OEM's touch panel integrator for the design and development of the new tablet product. The approximately 1,100 units of XTouch will go into pre-production tablet units for final configuration, tuning and testing to determine the viability of the final product and a go-to-market decision.

Mr. Brett Gaines, vice president of sales and marketing for UniPixel, said, "This pre-production order represents an important step with a new prospective customer for a product to address a specific niche application. We are pleased to be one of two finalists in this competitive situation. We believe it speaks to the quality and the differentiated innovation of our technology that we are being considered for implementation in this new product. We also believe that a 'win' in this situation would position XTouch for implementation into other product programs for this large manufacturer."

UniPixel's XTouch sensors support features such as narrow borders, curved touch surfaces and even edgeless touchscreens while achieving improved linearity, reliability and thinner sensor stacks. As an alternative to traditional touch sensors, XTouch provides the ability to turn unique touch-based concepts into functional designs at lower total system costs.
