UniPixel, Inc. announced receipt of an order and initial shipment of production validation units for a 15.6-inch touchscreen with XTouch sensors and Diamond Guard hard coat to a new customer for a retail point-of-sale terminal. This new customer develops and sells touchscreens and touchscreen-enabled systems for non-consumer markets such as retail, digital signage, industrial, medical, transportation and others.
 
“In addition to more familiar computing devices, such as laptops, tablets, and printers that can utilize our products, we are now being introduced into broad opportunities in the industrial point-of-sale market,” said Jeff Hawthorne, president and chief executive officer of UniPixel. “This is a large market that will complement the consumer and enterprise products markets into which we currently ship.”
 
The initial order is currently being evaluated and qualified by the customer. Upon successful qualification, UniPixel expects the product will begin volume production in the second quarter of calendar 2016.
