Component Business
Pen Sensor System
for Notebook PCs 3.40 bn -40.4%
Along with the model shift from notebook PCs to tablets with
removable keyboards, demand for pens also shifted to tablets.
Due to the influence of manufacturer model transitions, our
sales decreased.
Business Highlights:
Notebook PC models
Development of Active ES (Electrostatics) Pen Technology
To meet diversifying customer needs for pen technology solutions, Active ES Pen Technology
was developed based on Wacom’s original technology, and began mass production of
customers’ new models.
By incorporating both multi-touch and pen input functions into the touch panel, we eliminated
the need for a dedicated pen sensor board and achieved a low cost solution.
Newly developed one chip controller enables high performance pen functions.
