Also, Young Fast is the first touch panel manufacturer in the world to start of mass production of the tempered glass substrate-based flat panels. As such, Young Fast is one step closer to become world-class manufacturer with unparalleled product quality as well as unmatched competitive edges.

To keep pace with latest market boom led by Apple’s iPhone, global mobile phone vendors are scrambling to launch a new array of high-end models that provide high-quality touch display, such as better optical clarity, high resolution, sharpness, brightness, and rich colors. Conventional resistive touch panels can hardly meet the demanding requirement due to their inherent poor optical characteristics that would cause significant degrade of visual image quality. “The new touch technology was developed to respond to customer requests for enhanced touch panel performance and environmental specifications,” stated Albert Pai, general manager of Young Fast.

Pai pointed out that in addition to enhanced optical properties, the new flat-surface touch panels using tempered glass substrates support improved durability and robustness, making them well suited for dynamic applications in outdoor environments. What’s more, they are shock- and pressure-resistant, providing extra protection to expensive mobile devices. Finally, Young Fast has developed novel glass processing and treatments to reduce the need for costly hole drilling expense and enable rich and modern user interface designs.

According to Young Fast, the innovative flat-surface touch panels have received wide attention from world-class mobile phone vendors; with some of them have announced latest smartphones equipped with the unique touch displays. Mass production will begin in the second half of 2008.
