Aito launches its revolutionary Haptile Trackpad at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (from Jan 7 to 10, 2020). Aiming at ultra-mobile notebooks, the Haptile Trackpad addresses an important bottleneck in reducing component thickness to free up space for larger batteries. Measuring just 2.4 mm in height, it is the world’s thinnest solution for notebooks.

Aito’s HapticTouch technology has been used to demonstrate the world’s first touch-based gear shifter with haptic feedback. 

It’s part of the Safe Human Interaction Cockpit concept developed by ZF in partnership with Faurecia.

Aito will participate in the Dutch trade mission to Computex / InnoVEX 2019 in Taipei, Taiwan (27-31 May) led by the Mayor of the City of Eindhoven, John Jorritsma.

We’ll be unveiling our latest product there; the Aito Haptile Trackpad.

This exciting Dutch innovation enables super-thin laptops and will further improve the ease-of-use and productivity of laptop users.

It works by detecting the force of a press or tap with great precision and provides a natural tactile click response anywhere on the touch surface.

At Electronica in Munich last week; Peter Kurstjens, CEO, celebrated the new TDK partnership with Dr Georg Kuegerl, CTO of the TDK Piezo & Protection Devices Business Group.

Customers were able to experience our innovative touch response solutions based on Aito’s HapticTouch controllers and TDK piezos.

We demonstrated the technology on smooth surfaces, like wood, aluminium, and glass, and also showed how we do haptics in combination with stiff surfaces for applications such as computing trackpads. 

TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) announced today that its subsidiary, TDK Electronics, is joining forces with Amsterdam-based Aito B.V., a frontrunner in controller solutions for piezo haptics. Both companies will cooperate in the development, marketing and sale of cutting-edge touch response solutions that are based on TDK’s portfolio of piezo actuators and Aito’s intelligent HapticTouch control solution.
