Expert Advise you can Trust

At CDS, we have been supplying touchscreens into these industries for many years and would be happy to discuss an alternative supply with any customers using the 3M technology.  We are able to offer standard and bespoke touchscreens up to 90” diagonal. CDS would aim to match the mechanics of the existing design to ensure the minimal amount of disruption.

Our engineers have ongoing investigations to see if we can offer a compatible SCT controller for those customers who may not be able to use the new HID protocol controllers. We also have the capability to work with custom protocols to ensure ongoing continuity / support.

CDS’ bespoke solutions allow for touchscreens with shaped glass with cut-outs / holes. We can custom rear screen print the touch to give a simple printed bezel through to a fully branded solution with icons / logo etc.  This is available with little or no tooling and available in small production quantities.

CDS PCAP Plus Range

Glass thickness of the touchscreen is available up to 10 mm thick to give a rugged solution, and the glass is available with AR or AG surface treatments.  Check out some of our touchscreen products can been found here: https://crystal-display.com/category-components-touch-sensors/
