Touch screens allow the user to interact with their devices in a more efficient and captivating way. Customers nowadays prefer slimmer and more portable devices, which E3 provides eliminating the need for buttons at affordable rates. Several businesses use touch-screen technology to accelerate their speed of service, allowing customers to serve themselves at touch-screen kiosks.
Did you know devices with membrane keypads and buttons are more prone to damage than touch screen displays with a hard durable surface? The resilient and easy to use nature of touch screen devices make them suitable for users of all ages and skill levels. There are several uniquely different types of touch screens that E3 Displays offer, each with their own set of advantages.
You may be in the business of entertainment, digital signage, health care, or other markets. Multi-touch can be used by you to enhance the efficiency of your organization and your business, thereby saving you costs and increasing profits. Multi-touch touch screen kiosks recognize the presence of multiple points of contact with the kiosk’s interface surface, thus speeding and simplifying the user’s interaction. This multi-point interactivity enables advanced functions such as pinch-to-zoom, fast-scrolling, and intuitive gesturing commands, all of which allow for quicker, more intuitive interaction between kiosk users and the host organization. This improved efficiency means that staff members can work faster and process customers quicker, preventing long queues and customer dissatisfaction.
Multi-touch can be customized to suit the requirements of any group. The firmware can be matched with different types of use cases such as glove use, touch when water is present, stylus use and other uniques input challenges.
Capacitive sensing in touch screens has been around since the 1970’s, but with the recent explosion in popularity of the smartphone, projected capacitive sensors (PCAP) have come to the forefront of touch screen technology. Users are realizing that the gesturing interface used on the advanced smartphones is a natural way of interacting with electronic devices. Now that projected capacitive touch panels are available in larger panel sizes, designers can bring this same experience to a variety of embedded systems where the durability, reliability and overall performance of this technology can also add substantial value to the system.
PCT technology is a capacitive technology which permits more accurate and flexible operation, projection of the touch field through additional layers of material plus full multi touch capability. Typical construction of a PCT technology sensor allows for operation without direct contact to the touch sensor. Thus the touch sensor can be located behind further insulating layers, and operate even under screen protectors, or behind weather and vandal-proof glass. Due to the top layer of a PCT being glass, PCT is a more robust solution versus resistive touch technology. Since PCT technology construction is an X and Y matrix of capacitors capable of locating multiple distinct touchpoints, PCAP touch sensors are true multi touch capable.
With the recent improvements of PCAP technology it quickly won over industrial application market shares from resistive touch. PCAP touch screens started to be introduced more in applications where customers require a more rugged surface due to susceptibility to scratches and mishandlings making it the new best solution for industrial applications.
E3 Displays enables you to create the perfect custom designed display:
The first and the most important advantage of a resistive touch screen is its ease of implementation and use. These are features which make it ideal for many applications including heavy industry machinery, commercial markets and electronic equipment. Another important advantage of resistive touch screens is that there is no limitation to operate the screen with any special object. The screen can be touched by stylus, fingers, other hard objects and is pressure sensitive so anyone can use it.
