KUREHA invests in Cambridge Touch Tech: develops next-generation 3DX3 multi-touch sensor
July 23, 2019
Kureha Corporation:
Kureha Co., Ltd. is funded by Cambridge Touch Technologies ILimited.
We announce that we have invested as a Lead Investor (X1 Series B).
CTT: Cambridge Touch Technologies
CTT is a startup company from Cambridge University, UK.
developing a next-generation 3DX3 multi-touch sensor with a simple architecture by combining a unique signal analysis algorithm and a piezoelectric film * 2.
Because this sensor has a simple configuration, cost reduction can be expected.
Series B funding:
With the funding of Series B, we will accelerate development speed more than ever.
We will develop applications for electronic devices, such as smartphones and displays for vehicles.
KUREHA: Piezoelectric film “KF Piezo”
KUREHA has produced vinylidene fluoride resin (PVDF) since 1970.
As a development of applications for this resin, we have sold a piezoelectric film “KF Piezo” that has been subjected to drawing processing etc.
CTT: Next-generation 3D multi touch sensor
From 2016, KUREHA’s piezoelectric film “KF Piezo” is used to support CTT’s next-generation 3D multi-touch sensor development.
※ 1 series B
Following the first round of funding in December 2016, two rounds of funding for development acceleration.
