The technology challenge was to provide the required range of touch-sensitivity through a 15mm thick glass which was needed to provide a solution for use within a high-risk vandal environment, such as public transport. When combined with software upgrades, Mutual Type Projected Capacitive technology is claimed to give the end-result of unimpaired touch-sensitivity, while also maintaining minimal drop in the optical transmission of the display at less than 10%.
Varitronix has incorporated a 7” Normally Black, TN, Transmissive TFT panel, resolution 800xRGBx480 with the Special Cover Lens for a Public Transport application. Other applications will include the Intrinsically Safe, Military, and Marine market sectors.
