FlatFrog Laboratories

What FlatFrog Laboratories does

FlatFrog Laboratories AB is a privately held Swedish technology company headquartered in Lund that develops and licenses proprietary optical touch technology for large-format interactive displays. The company's core product is the patented InGlass touch platform, which uses Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) technology embedded inside the display glass to detect touch and passive pen input without batteries, delivering ultra-low latency, multi-user touch recognition, and fine handwriting precision on screens sized for collaboration. The technology is shipped primarily through OEM licensing to global display manufacturers including Samsung, Dell, Google, Sharp-NEC, Panasonic, Ricoh, Avocor, SMART Technologies, Clevertouch, and Seewo, with FlatFrog protecting the architecture through more than 90 granted patents and over 100 pending patent families.

The company operates a hybrid revenue model. The first stream is technology licensing: InGlass sensors are designed in or qualified by display manufacturers and shipped inside their branded interactive flat panels, generating per-unit royalty-like economics. The second stream is software: FlatFrog Board, a digital whiteboard application available in Personal, Room, and Enterprise subscription tiers, sold directly to enterprises for use in meeting rooms running InGlass-enabled displays, and also bundled with Dell and NEC hardware. The software supports dual-display meeting room configurations, mobile access via QR code, airgapped offline deployments, and integration with Microsoft Teams for hybrid collaboration. Sales channels combine direct enterprise field sales with resellers offering 3-5 year Business Plan contracts.

FlatFrog maintains offices in Lund (EMEA headquarters), the United States (Americas regional office), and Taiwan, South Korea, and China (Asia Pacific regional offices) to support its OEM partner base across display manufacturing hubs. The company claims #1 positioning in the corporate interactive display market, attributes roughly 4x revenue growth since 2016 to its source materials, and counts customers including Samsung, Dell, Google, Sharp-NEC, Panasonic, plus enterprise software users such as Tenet Health, Axis Communications, Daimler, RBC, and Arburg. As of available data, the workforce is sized between 51 and 100 employees, and the company has issued End of Life notices for TeamTablet Flex and for FlatFrog Board Personal and Board for Rooms (Room & Enterprise) effective April 30, 2026, signaling a deliberate portfolio consolidation.
