OS-equipped or OS-less? A New Way to Choose Interactive Flat Panel Displays Has Arrived.

〜 Defining a new category: OS-separated interactive flat panel displays. Offering both OS-less and Windows versions in the same enclosure, and putting an end to the "interactive flat panel becoming just a monitor" problem through design 〜

ANSHI JAPAN Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo / Representative Director: Ryohei Yoshihara) will begin sales of "ANSHI Touch AURA," a next-generation interactive flat panel display that maximizes physical security through its unique OS-less design, starting April 1, 2026.

Just connect a PC. Zero management.
Complete everything without a PC.

Even with an OS-less main unit, pen functions, touch operations, and on-screen writing are standard features. "Interactive flat panel cannot be used without an OS" is a thing of the past. By offering both OS-less and Windows versions in the same enclosure, companies can choose the optimal configuration based on installation location and usage within a single company—we propose a new selection standard for interactive flat panel displays.

The adoption rate of interactive flat panel displays in private companies is only 9% (MM Research Institute, FY2022). Conversely, 91% of companies have not yet introduced them—the market is just beginning to move in earnest. ANSHI Touch AURA fundamentally solves the barriers of "security concerns" and "inability to utilize" through its design.

## Market Background and 3 Challenges

Market share of OS-equipped models: Rapid increase from 11% in 2019 to 32% in 2022. Security risks are expanding.

| Security Barrier | "Unused" Problem | Inflexible Product Design |
|---|---|---|
| Vulnerability risks due to Android and other OS installations are barriers for large corporations and government agencies. Built-in cameras and microphones also pose risks of unauthorized photography and eavesdropping. | Many small and medium-sized enterprises find their interactive flat panels becoming "mere monitors." High investments are going to waste. | Current products are exclusively OS-equipped. Flexible choices according to location and use are not available, failing to meet the diverse needs of companies. |

## 3 Innovations Offered by ANSHI Touch AURA

### Innovation 01 | Zero-Trust Security through "OS-less" Design

By physically not including proprietary OSs like Android, nor cameras and microphones, software vulnerabilities and eavesdropping risks are fundamentally eliminated. It can be safely introduced even in environments requiring strict security standards, such as government agencies, financial institutions, and medical institutions. Simply connect the company's existing PC with a single Type-C cable to complete a large-screen touch environment while maintaining existing security policies.

### Innovation 02 | "Office Space Aesthetics" with 7-Color Ambient Lights

The main unit is equipped with 7-color ambient lights on both sides. These can be used for welcoming guests, selecting colors to match the meeting atmosphere, or switching to focus mode by turning off the lights. Pursuing the value as office furniture that is "beautiful even when not in use," it renovates the conventional inorganic image of interactive flat panel displays.

### Innovation 03 | Flexible Operation Design with Choice of OS-less and Windows Versions

We redefine "monitorization after introduction" not as a waste, but as a rational choice. Optimal configurations can be selected according to installation location and usage even within a single company.
- For security-sensitive locations and PC bring-your-own-device operations → Minimize costs and risks with the OS-less version.
- For serious meetings and standalone operations → Choose the domestically assembled and fully inspected Windows version.
- Upgrade from OS-less to Windows version later is also possible. This allows for controlling initial investment while responding to future changes.
