Displays offer precise operation with gloved hands

Today's complex industrial applications (where workers frequently have to operate their machines with gloved hands) are increasingly implementing machine controls as touch-screen displays, creating significant challenges for capacitive touch-panels. The AA070ME11-PCAP and AA121TD11-PCAP displays answer this challenge.

Excellent clarity is achieved via ultra-thin, highly conductive sensor lines with proprietary TFT array technologies and durable cover glass. Additionally, the TFT-LCD modules with PCAP touch panels, cover glass and touch panel controller are factory-installed in a proven, proprietary process. In order to suit a variety of operational environments, many options are available, including: optical bonding (resin bonding between the TFT-LCD module, touch-panel sensor and cover glass) for clearer images in bright environments; tempered cover glass; and anti-reflection/anti-smudge surface treatments.

Capacitive touch technology uses two perpendicular layers of conductive material to form a grid which, when a current is applied, forms a uniform electrostatic field. Enabling the system to accurately track movement across the screen at multiple points, the touch of a finger or other conductive object will distort this field. Commonly used for smartphones and tablets, this technology is increasingly being used for innovative user interfaces in industrial applications.

The colour TFT-LCD display modules are RoHS compliant and mercury-free.
