1 min read
Review Display Systems Ltd has recently launched a new range of standard Projective Capacitive touch screens from AMT. These panels have been specifically designed to fit the most common industrial TFT screen sizes including 10.4 inch, 12.1 inch and 15 inch.
Projective capacitive technology offers a number of advantages to the industrial user including :
• A glass surface hardness of 5 Mohs,
• The Light transmissivity of 88%
• Multi-touch operation.
• Wide temperature operation
• Laminated construction for strength
• Gloved hand operation.
Projective capacitive technology offers a number of advantages to the industrial user including a surface hardness of 5 Mohs, so reducing damage through scratching during operation. The Light transmissivity of 88% and good performance in high ambient light improves display readability plus the user can benefit from the option of multi-touch operation.
The environmental performance is good too, with an operating temperature of -10C to +70 Degrees Centigrade, the front can be sealed to IP65 and gloved hand operation can also be supported. AMT use a laminated design where the sensor is sandwiched between two glass layers this protects the sensor for long life operation and also increases the strength of the touch overlay.
The bespoke controller board will support Microsoft Windows 7 HID digitizer, Vista, XP, Linux and Android operating systems and allows support for single finger touch or dual finger touch with flicks, zoom-in, zoom-out functions.
The panels have been design for simple integration within systems, supported by a detailed guide to help engineers mount the panels, full evaluation kits are available.
AMT also support small size PC sensors such as 4.3 inch and 7 inch plus a complete custom design service is also available.
