PCAP

Projected Capacitive Sensors

After initial popularity started from smart phones, projected capacitive sensors (PCAP) have become the most popular form of touch technology.  PCAP technology is now available in larger panels sizes.  This allows engineers from all markets and applications to design with this great technology.

Projected Capacitive touch technology offers fast, accurate and simultaneous multi touch functionality. The solution communicates directly with the operating system’s touch interface to support specific gesture actions like pinching (zoom-out), stretching (zoom-in) and swiping (left, down, up, right, sideways and others), rotating.

Advantages:

Long life / reliability

True flat front surface

Functional through multiple layers

The best “look”

Easy integration

Multi touch functionality

Disadvantages:

Best used with direct contact – proper tuning required for glove applications.

Resistive Touch Technology

Besides it’s easy integration.....

….resistive touch technology is also an advantage because it has no limitations on how to operate.  The screen is pressure sensitive and can be touched by a stylus or any hard object as well as a gloved hand.

Advantages:

Ease of integration

Cost effective

Use with gloved hand or stylus

Disadvantages:

Lower brightness performance

Front surface durability

Limited touch points

Optical Bonding

The main purpose of optical bonding is to reduce the reflection of ambient light.

ITG can offer an optical bonding between any display cover glass and any LCD size. Our bonding process eliminates the air-gap between the display and the cover glass. It will reduce the number of internal reflection surfaces that can lead to degradation of optical performance.

Advantages:

Ease of integration

Cost effective

Use with gloved hand or stylus

Disadvantages:

Lower brightness performance

Front surface durability

Limited touch points
