3M to Demo Touch Innovations at electronica 2006
3M Touch Systems will display its portfolio of world-renowned touch products and technologies at electronica 2006 (Hall A3, Stand 175). Stand visitors will see demonstrations of high endurance LCD
capacitive touch screens, capacitive and resistive electronics, a kiosk chassis monitor and PL resistive touch sensors from 3M applied to demanding applications in markets such as gaming casino, retail lottery, financial ATM and retail self-service.
DeliAdditional key features include accurate touch performance and the highest levels of light transmission in the market place today. 3M will use a 32 NEC display to show the technology's superiority in this application area.
For capacitive touch screen applications where space is limited, such as lottery terminals, the MicroTouch EX II Controller Series from 3M brings OEMs flexibility and easy integration. The controllers are based on the innovative EX II ASIC, designed to provide higher resolution touch coordinates, on-chip RAM, and a wider operating temperature range. They support serial and USB, offer expanded regulatory approvals, improved power modes, and enhanced ESD and EMI protection. The controllers will be demonstrated on a MicroTouch CT150 15 LCD touch screen monitor with integrated ClearTek II sensor from 3M.
