The new System LCD from Sharp comes equipped with optical sensors embedded into each pixel of the LCD panel to provide both touch screen and scanner functions.

The screen allows tactile recognition for simultaneously touching multiple points to achieve desired results such as enlarging or reducing images. Business cards can be scanned by simply placing them on top of the screen. Even fingerprint authentication is expected to be featured in the near future. Learn more here.
