LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hanvon Technology, a pioneer in China’s artificial intelligence industry, made a significant splash at the CES 2025 Global Consumer Electronics Show, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Combining 30 years of expertise in electromagnetic technology with 15 years in capacitive touch technology, Hanvon has innovatively introduced the world’s first EMC-Touch chip, HW0888. This chip, along with a single layer of sensors, perfectly realizes the EMC solution, supporting both passive electromagnetic pens and capacitive touch. It features 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity and multi-finger touch functionality.

Penstar: Redefining the Digital Notebook Market
To tap into the large and steadily growing global market, Hanvon has developed a new brand strategy for Penstar, actively expanding into overseas e-commerce channels.
