UniPixel Wins Programs with New Japanese PC OEM Customer

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- UniPixel, Inc. UNXL, a provider of advanced touch solutions to the touchscreen and flexible electronics markets, today announced the addition of a new customer, a leading Japanese PC manufacturer, with design wins for two new notebooks. The two new notebooks will feature UniPixel's XTouch and Diamond Guard technologies.

The announcement of these two new programs brings to 18 the number of unique device design wins from multiple customers announced by UniPixel thus far in calendar 2016. One device will be an 11.6" 2-in-1 convertible notebook that will leverage XTouch metal mesh touch sensor technology to deliver superior active stylus performance.

Both programs are expected to enter production during the third quarter of 2016.
