The new ClearPad 3000 screens, available in sizes up to 8" diagonally, apply advanced capacitive technology, which makes them more transparent and more sensible to finger presses than resistive sensors. Featuring 48 sensing channels and designed for use with the "next generation of 3D graphical user interfaces", the screen can be tracked pixel-by-pixel without completely draining battery power. But in contrast with the resistive sensors, the capacitive sensors cannot be used with a stylus or a glove.

In fact, the ClearPad 2000 touchscreens – ClearPad 3000’s predecessor – can already be found on some existing cell phones like the T-Mobile G1 by HTC. Handset makers like LG and Samsung are also Synaptics’ customers, while Apple’s popular iPhone is one of the unconfirmed users. However, the old screens offer only a small extent of multi-touch, and can be easily confused by anything beyond a simple pinch or swipe gesture. The new ClearPad 3000 is expected to deliver much better accuracy and sensibility, as it is capable of handling input from 10 fingers.

Other than the new series, the company is also releasing the basic ClearPad 1000 Series for entry-level touchscreen phones. Available in size up to 4.3" diagonally, it supports singer-finger gestures such as pressing, tapping, pinching and flicking.

Synaptics said the ClearPad 3000 series will start shipping by the end of 2009, meaning we can probably expect the first device using the new sensor coming soon. In the near future, touchscreens that track two fingers will steadily fade out, and the touch interface in cell phones will enter a whole new level.
