The module is now available through a growing network of channel partners and value-added resellers, distributing worldwide.

While the global touch display module market is expected to reach over $113 billion by 2031, operational challenges like unintended touches and dust and moisture ingress are causing costly downtime and negatively impacting mission-critical applications where precision and accuracy are essential.

As governments and private sectors invest in newer and better human-machine-interfaces (HMI) for next-generation equipment, or modernising outdated existing systems, traditional solutions have been found to fall short due to safety concerns, reliability issues, and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference (EMI), making them less suitable for demanding environments in industries such as industrial automation, defence, and healthcare.

CTT’s UltraTouch technology provides a much-improved touch interactivity experience, boosting operational efficiency, and creating a number of new possibilities for a wide range of control applications.

UltraTouch is transparent, flexible, solid-state, and thinner than a human hair. As a passive layer, it consumes very little power. It detects both the location and force of finger touches, allowing the touch sensor to be covered with materials such as glass, polymer, metal, or ceramic. In addition, UltraTouch can directly trigger haptic feedback systems, bypassing the delay of routing touch event data through the host device.

UltraTouch can be purchased from CTT’s channel partner network, which includes Review Display Systems and Midas Displays.
