3M’s Large-format Touch Screens Available to European Integrators next year

“DST touch screens offer unique qualities not available from existing large format touch solutions,” commented Francesco Fasoglio, European Business Manager, 3M Touch Systems. “In addition to offering fast, accurate and reliable touch response, and exceptional light transmission, the touch screens are easy to integrate. They have no front surface components to impede bezel integration, they are easily sealable, and feature chemically-strengthened glass to ensure operation is unaffected by surface contaminants. Furthermore, their “dynamic touch” feature ignores static objects on the screen to allow for multi-user touch capabilities.”

Dispersive Signal Technology recognises touch by interpreting bending waves within the glass substrate created by the contact of a finger or stylus on the glass. Since bending waves are unaffected by on-screen contaminants and moderate surface damage, DST touch screens are inherently robust making them a compelling solution for customers in many of today’s high productivity, vertical applications.
