UniPixel, Inc., a provider of advanced touch solutions to the touchscreen and flexible electronics markets, today announced a new design win from a leading U.S. PC manufacturer for a 13.3-inch laptop computer. The new laptop will feature UniPixel's XTouch touch screen sensors with Diamond Guard hardcoat in an advanced laptop design. This program represents the fourth win in 2016 with this customer and further expands our business footprint with this leading manufacturer.

Jeff Hawthorne, president and chief executive officer of UniPixel, said, "We now have two major customers that have awarded us four programs each thus far in 2016. We are gratified that these existing customers, both industry leaders, value our technology enough to award us multiple programs. The increasing acceptance of our products not only demonstrates the performance attributes of our highly differentiated products, but it also validates our manufacturing capabilities to support the needs of our customers to create the leading-edge devices that their end-user consumers demand."

UniPixel's highly responsive XTouch touchscreen sensor technology with its outstanding finger-touch and capacitive stylus performance, in conjunction with the company's Diamond Guard hardcoat technology which reduces overall cost and weight, will enable this manufacturer to produce a superior new 13.3-inch laptop computer. Volume production for this program is expected to commence during the fourth calendar quarter of 2016.
