Colour touch panels with vandal-resistant 15mm glass
Varitronix has announced a new development to further enhance its range of high-resolution touch panel TFT displays. The development allows the addition of a cover lens with glass thickness up to 15mm through which the capacitive touch screen can still easily be operated.
The technology challenge was to provide the required range of touch-sensitivity through a thick 15mm glass which was needed to provide a solution for use within a high-risk vandal environment. When combined with software upgrades, mutual type projected capacitive technology enables the end-result of unimpaired touch-sensitivity, despite the glass thickness, while also maintaining minimal drop in the optical transmission of the display at less than 10%.
The displays are manufactured in accordance with international certifications including ISO 9001 for general quality management and ISO/TS 16949 for quality management of automotive products.
