Anoto Group AB (publ.) Announces Panasonic will integrate its Digital Writing
Technology into Next-Generation Tablets and Mobile Devices
Dot Pattern Solution Proposed for Future Product Development
Lund, January 9, 2013 — Anoto, the world leader in digital writing technology,
today announced Panasonic’s intention to employ Anoto technology in the
development of the next generation of its high-quality, world renowned
products.
Anoto’s unique dot pattern is ideal for digital writing on tablets and screens
because of its accuracy, flexibility and almost unlimited application
potential. The technology can turn virtually any surface, including large
formats, into a “live digital surface” in which the dot pattern is read by a
digital pen and converted into computer-usable data.
Panasonic will be on location at the 2013 International CES, the world’s
largest consumer technology event, January 8-11, 2013, in Las Vegas. This
year’s show features a keynote speech by Mr. Kazuhiro Tsuga, president of
Panasonic and showcases the company’s newest technologies including the "4K
tablet" being demonstrated live at the show with the Anoto digital pen. For

the show and Mr. Tsuga’s keynote, please visit: 2013 International CES Opening

“Panasonic will explore new frontiers in human/machine interfaces with Anoto
technology,” said Stein Revelsby, CEO of Anoto Group AB. “Anoto’s digital
writing solutions are currently in use across a broad range of consumer and
business applications. Our work with Panasonic promises to extend this legacy
across a whole new generation of tablet devices and beyond.”
