CDS Offers the Full Range of Touchscreen Technologies for Diverse Applications
Capacitive, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW), and Infrared (IR) touch technologies and more
In the modern world touchscreens have become an integral part of various devices and applications. Capacitive, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW), and Infrared (IR) touch technologies are some of the key players, each offering unique advantages. In this blog post, we’ll explore how CDS provides a comprehensive range of touchscreen solutions, catering to diverse needs.
Projected Capacitive – Touch Technology (P-Cap)
Overview:
Projected Capacitive Touch (P-Cap) technology stands out for its excellent multi-touch capabilities, making it ideal for portable devices and multi-point applications. The front layer of glass contains a matrix of conductive elements, and when a finger approaches, the capacitive field undergoes a minute change, enabling touch interaction.
Advantages:
- Durability: P-Cap screens are known for their strength and durability, making them suitable for commercial applications with high usage.
- Reliability: Even if scratched, P-Cap screens generally continue to function unless the rear-mounted conductive matrix is damaged.
- Natural Use: Highly sensitive touch technology provides a natural and responsive user experience.
- Image Clarity: Clear, uncoated glass construction offers higher picture quality compared to other touch technologies.
Zero-bezel SAW – Touch Technology (iSurface)
Overview:
Zero-bezel SAW technology is based on Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology, with reflection stripes moved to the back surface of the touchscreen. The completely flat screen allows seamless integration into various devices, combining aesthetic appeal with top-notch functionality.
Features:
- Flat Design: Completely flat screen for an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
- Superior Touch Performance: iSurface technology delivers quick and accurate responses without drift-off.
- Integration Ease: Reflection strips on the back surface facilitate easy integration into various solutions.
Surface Acoustic Wave – Touch Technology (SAW)
Overview:
Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices find applications in electronic systems, including delay lines, filters, correlators, and more. CDS utilizes SAW technology in various applications such as desktop touch monitors, interactive digital signage, and industrial control rooms.
Applications:
- Desktop Touch Monitors: Ideal for enhanced user interaction and display applications.
- Interactive Digital Signage: Engaging and interactive displays for effective communication.
- Industrial Control Rooms: Reliable touch solutions for critical control applications.
Infrared – Touch Technology (IR)
Overview:
Infrared (IR) touch screens consist of a touch frame with an integrated circuit board containing IR-LEDs and photo transistors. The IR beams, invisible to the user, create a grid in front of the display, offering stable, durable, and widely used touch technology.
Advantages:
- Works Well on Flat Panel Displays: Well-suited for various display configurations, including flat panels.
- High Adaptability: Versatile technology adaptable to different environments and applications.
- High Stability: Reliable performance and stability over an extended period.
- Long Service Life: Durable components contribute to an extended service life.
In conclusion, CDS provides a comprehensive suite of touchscreen technologies, each tailored to specific needs and environments. Whether it’s the sensitivity of P-Cap, the flat design of iSurface, the versatility of SAW, or the stability of IR, CDS ensures that their touchscreens meet the demands of a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial control rooms.
