Cypress Semiconductor has announced that its Truetouch touchscreen solution implements the multi-touch touchscreen in the new IS03 smartphone from KDDI.

The new phone, manufactured by Sharp Communication Systems, offers a highly responsive and accurate 3.5in LCD display screen.

The IS03 is based on the Android 2.1 operating system and allows users to use numerous Android applications.

It offers email support, fast web browsing, GPS support, infrared communications and a 9.6 megapixel camera.

The Truetouch controller ranges adapted by IS03 offer an integrated analogue sensing engine for a fast and accurate touchscreen experience.

This responsiveness allows tracking of multiple fingers simultaneously with precise X-Y locations and without user delays or problems with erroneous ghost responses.

The devices also offer Cypress's noise immunity and low power consumption, making it suitable for today's smartphone market.
