Latest capacitive touchscreen for harsh environments from Trident
:: 21 November, 2007
Trident announces the introduction of the latest capacitive touchscreen overlay range from DMC. The range, available from Trident, includes 15 inch, 17 inch and 19 inch standard touchscreen membranes, with USB and RS232 controllers also available.
The conductive coated glass panel enables the display to be shown with a minimal loss of clarity as these products boast an 83 per cent light transmittance.
The touchscreens are easily installed on to a monitor, and Trident is able to offer the overlays ready assembled. The glass and bezel can be sealed onto the monitor, making them durable and resistant to moisture, dirt and dust. This makes them commonly used in harsher environments like gaming, vending retail displays, public kiosks and industrial applications.
Capacitive touchscreens operate by a small current of electricity that runs across the screen with circuits located at the corners of the panel to measure the capacitance of a person touching the overlay. Touching the screen draws current to the finger and the software calculates a position of the touch.
This new range of touchscreen overlays compliments Trident’s existing portfolio of resistive, projected capacitive, optical, SAW and infrared touchscreen technologies that are available for a wide variety of applications.
Note for Touchscreens
Touchscreens are displays which also have the ability to detect the location of touches within the display area. This allows the display to be used as an input device, removing the keyboard and/or the mouse as the primary input device for interacting with the display's content. Such displays can be attached to computers or, as terminals, to networks. Touchscreens also have assisted in recent changes in the design of personal digital assistant (PDA), satellite navigation and mobile phone devices, making these devices more usable.
