Finding the Right Replacement for Zytronic PCAP Touch Screens

CDS are here to help you with your PCAP Needs

With Zytronic Displays ceasing operations in early 2025, many businesses that relied on their pioneering wire-based projected capacitive (PCAP) technology are now seeking reliable alternatives. Crystal Display Systems Ltd. (CDS) is uniquely positioned to support these customers, thanks to our extensive experience working alongside Zytronic for the past 25 years. Our deep familiarity with their technology and its advantages allows us to offer seamless replacements with enhanced performance.

Zytronic’s Legacy in PCAP Technology

Zytronic was a market leader in large-format and highly ruggedized touch solutions. Their self- and mutual-capacitance controllers enabled full multitouch functionality, thicker touch glass integration, and specialist firmware programming. These innovations made them the go-to choice for applications requiring durability, precision, and reliability.
