Touch and Biometrics
Synaptics' touch and biometric solutions help your users use their fingers to communicate, create, access and explore. As technology relies heavily on touch screens, touchpads, and other sensory experiences, our solutions help you deliver the best experience for users seeking to interact with tech in innovative ways. Our ICs, touchpad modules and fingerprint sensors ensure your users use their devices securely, too.
Our Display and Interface Options
Synaptics delivers reliable touch performance for your devices and technologies. Our ClearPad® touch controllers work seamlessly with even the latest ultra-thin devices, maintaining sensitivity. Even with lots of noise on the screen, you ensure that your users tap, swipe and get the response they need. Wet or greasy fingers are no match for our touch controllers, and your customers and clients can still use their tablets, wearables, smartphones and other screens even when wearing gloves. Certified for automotive use, ClearPad enables drivers to interact with their dashboard safely while driving.
For enterprise, ClearPad makes it easy to create solutions for clock-in and clock-out screens, even in remote and challenging conditions. Our touch controllers offer standby and active power performance that outperforms any other solutions in the industry. Even with dirty power sources and in remote locations, your machine's smart screens and heavy equipment touch screens will work.
ClearPad solutions offer responsiveness and FaceDetect™ to ensure the device distinguishes between a user's face and hand, reducing the frustration of unintended gestures while maintaining device security. These power-efficient devices work with a stylus or non-battery-operated stylus alternatives. .
If you want to design tech that works as intended, even in suboptimal conditions, ClearPad gives you the flexibility to create something new.
Integrated Touch & Display ICs
Touchpads have been a staple of laptops and other devices for many years. Still, with AI-powered
computers entering the consumer market, customers are seeking new and secure ways to interact with
their devices.
Synaptics enables you to create buttonless Touchpads with larger surface areas. Since every user
applies different forces and pressures, we allow the development of responsive technology that
accommodates varying user preferences. You can even integrate fingerprint ID sensors directly into
the TouchPad of your device, keeping users' digital lives secure.
Biometric Identification
PINs and passwords are an insecure way to secure anything. Many people reuse or use simplistic
passwords. Many users write down passwords and PINs, increasing the likelihood of breaches.
Biometric data protection using fingerprint scans is a more-secure way to protect computers, files,
smartphones and more. Each fingerprint is unique, and no one is likely to forget a finger. Data
always stays accessible.
Synaptics Natural ID™ enables biometric cryptography by combining advanced encryption and biometrics
in our line of fingerprint sensors. For personal and enterprise devices and applications, our
fingerprint recognition solutions deliver anti-spoofing technology and the flexibility to embed
fingerprint sensors in displays, touchpads, the bezel or anywhere on the device.
What Is the Future of Touch?
As robotics advances, your technology may eventually need to respond to robot fingerprints as well. Remote capabilities mean we may be able to swipe a device in Hong Kong that also swipes a connected device in California. Touchless technology is likely to continue advancing, with gestures becoming more common. Biometric data security will remain a top priority, requiring ever-more-sophisticated systems to deter fraudsters.
No matter what the future holds, Synaptics offers the systems and tools you need to build experiences that your users are excited to use. We help you create intuitive and reliable technology that reflects the integrity of your brand.
