I believe XTouch has great potential to create the thinnest, lightest and most cost effective touch sensor solution. An important attribute of XTouch is the ability to bend the material, with no loss of performance, for curved applications. I believe we are at the leading-edge for flexible displays as these applications are increasingly adopted in the coming years. This is an exciting time to join UniPixel as we focus on developing new customers and driving revenue growth from our Taiwan operations."
