Summary: Screen calculates spreed of approaching finger. Ideal for small screens, says Mitsubishi.

That’s done with the aid of an array of sensors that can also be used to calculate the speed at which the finger is approaching, and allow for a so-called “mouse-over function,” which would essentially let your finger control a cursor without actually touching the screen—something Mitsubishi says would be ideal for devices with small screens. Currently, it is just in prototype form (currently a 5.7-inch capacitive VGA display).
