Hitachi Capacitive Touch Screen with Stylus

The new screen technologies continue to roll out, this time it’s Hitachi’s turn with a capacitive touch screen that also takes input from a stylus or any other non-conductive object to touch its surface. Nokia for instance has previously come out with a stylus that also works on a capacitive screen, but Hitachi’s approach is a little bit different. On their screen you can use whatever stylus that you can get your hands on.

Hitachi aims to bring this new screen to the market sometime in 2011.

There is a lot to more to consider when you’re thinking about buying or designing a consumer tablet than you might realize.

Edit: Updated to correct video, sorry about that guys!

Basically this thing works much like the Microsoft Surface, with infrared doing the sniffing of the hands, and then a projector being in charge of producing the picture on that same surface.
