UniPixel Announces 15th Design Win in 2016

New 2-in-1 Convertible Laptop to feature XTouch™ with Diamond Guard™

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- UniPixel, Inc. UNXL, a provider of advanced touch solutions to the touchscreen and flexible electronics markets, today announced its 15th design win in 2016 for a 2-in-1 convertible laptop targeted for the education market by an existing customer.

The device will be an 11.6-inch 2-in-1 convertible notebook that will leverage XTouch metal mesh touch sensor technology to deliver superior active stylus performance. The program is expected to enter production in late fourth quarter 2016. The announcement of this new product win, plus the 3 programs originally acquired from Atmel, and the one product announced late in 2015, brings to 19 the total number of programs awarded to UniPixel. The 2-in-1 category is a fast growing market opportunity for UniPixel since these versatile and lightweight devices all feature stylus capabilities that play to the XTouch sensor strengths. UniPixel now has 10 wins for 2-in-1 devices.

Jeff Hawthorne, president and chief executive officer of UniPixel, said, "We continue to gain traction in having our products included in the next wave of computing devices coming to market. With stylus use becoming more important to technology end-users, our XTouch and Diamond Guard technologies deliver superior stylus performance while enabling some of the thinnest and lightest new products coming to market. We are pleased that our products are increasingly gaining acceptance by PC manufacturers worldwide."
