Amazon Kindle uses a monochrome display, made by technology of “electronic paper” and deprived of opportunities to perceive touch. According to the online version of the publication The New York Times, recently acquired by Amazon storefront young company Touchco help the internet giant equip Kindle color touch screen of its own design.
Designed originally from New York University’s technology allows to create color touch screen, costing no more than $ 10 per square foot (0.09 m), which perceive the set of points of contact and are able to distinguish between the force pressing.
