“During the first quarter of 2012 we made tremendous strides towards the worldwide commercialization of our flagship products, UniBoss and Diamond Guard,” said UniPixel president and CEO, Reed Killion. “We established a working relationship with two major players in the respective markets for these products and have made significant advancements upon those relationships.

“Working closely with TI, we have made solid progress in integrating our pro-cap multi-touch sensor films with Texas Instruments’ controller, and we expect to soon introduce to the market high-quality touch screen solutions at very competitive costs. The prototype is testing well, and we look forward to soon releasing prototype performance data that will include a lower noise floor and increased speed and scan capabilities. At this pace of progress, we expect our pro-cap touch sensor to be qualified with the TI controller in the second quarter of this year.

“In response to high level of interest from large OEMs, we plan to release a UniBoss product with ultra-thin conductive elements on film surfaces that are printed in a range of grid patterns and sizes. These varying grid patterns can be laminated together to create resistive touch as well as a pro-cap touch sensors that utilize the existing modular supply chain. Along with the performance benefits of being flexible and more conductive than ITO, variable grid patterns enable a wider variety of applications in the flexible electronic film market, including very large format applications and multi-gesture touchpads.

“Our Diamond Guard manufacturing and distribution partnership with Carestream Tollcoating is also advancing at a strong pace, with Diamond Guard close to becoming fully production qualified. We expect our final test production run to be conducted next week, and Carestream has already begun to showcase Diamond Guard to its global customer base. As a world-class film manufacturing organization, we look forward to working with Carestream to develop sales and provide order fulfillment for Diamond Guard.

“As we complete the first half of 2012, UniBoss and Diamond Guard are on course for commercialization in the rapidly growing touchscreen market. The infrastructure partnerships we have been developing with TI and Carestream put us in an ideal position to manufacture and market our technologies.”
