Historically, the touch screen sensor and its accompanying controller-based firmware have been made available by a wide array of after-market system integrator and not by display manufacturers and chip manufacturers worldwide have acknowledged the trend toward acceptance of touchscreen as a highly desirable user interface component and have begun to integrate touch screen functionality into the fundamental design of their products.
