History and Foundation
The company was founded in 2001 in Stockholm, Sweden, with an initial focus on developing optical touch technology for mobile devices and electronic equipment. Early efforts were directed toward strengthening technological capabilities and advancing licensing initiatives targeted at international manufacturers.Initial challenges included market adoption, short innovation cycles, and the need to demonstrate the performance of optical technology relative to capacitive alternatives. Early achievements included licensing agreements and the deployment of the first commercially integrated modules.
Expansion progressed through entry into additional industrial segments—particularly automotive and medical—alongside the development of broader sensor and module portfolios. Growth was further supported by commercial partnerships, joint development agreements, and ongoing enhancements to the optical architecture.
Major historical milestones include the start of public trading in 2012 through an initial public offering (IPO), the expansion of licensing agreements with global manufacturers throughout the 2010s, and the evolution of detection modules for automotive and industrial applications.
Between 2020 and 2024, developments included advancements in touchless-interaction solutions, technological adaptation for healthcare applications, growth in automotive partnerships, operational adjustments linked to shifts in global demand, and initiatives aimed at modernizing short-range optical-sensor technologies.
