UniPixel Awarded Two 2-in-1 Convertible Laptop Programs from a Major U.S. PC Manufacturer New Orders from Existing Customer SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- UniPixel, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNXL), a provider of advanced touch solutions to the touchscreen and flexible electronics markets, today announced that it has been awarded two new 2-in-1 convertible programs from a leading PC manufacturing customer. 2-in-1 convertible computers combine the best features of a laptop and a tablet in one device. Both programs will utilize UniPixel's XTouch™ highly responsive touchscreen sensors with its outstanding finger-touch and capacitive stylus performance, and the company's Diamond Guard hardcoat technology to reduce the overall cost and the weight of the computing devices. Volume production for the two programs is expected to commence during the fourth quarter of 2016 and first quarter of 2017, respectively. Jeff Hawthorne, president and chief executive officer of UniPixel, said, "We are pleased with the two design wins from this existing customer. Further orders from existing customers are an affirmation that not only does our technology resonate with customers, but our response time and service levels meet their requirements. "Our XTouch copper metal mesh touch sensor product is increasingly gaining share in the market as an alternative to traditional ITO sensors due to the unique sensor design and significantly lower sheet resistance of our sensors, which allow for superior touch and stylus performance. As 2-in-1 computing devices with advanced stylus capabilities continue to gain market share, UniPixel is well positioned to benefit as the market more fully develops in the coming years." Mr. Hawthorne continued, "By adding our Diamond Guard hardcoat, this customer will be able to produce two new devices that are lighter, thinner, and faster with exceptional stylus performance. We believe this is a strong validation of our technologies and is indicative of the increased traction that we are now starting to gain with our highly differentiated products. We are pleased with the progress achieved thus far in 2016." About UniPixel UniPixel, Inc.
