Touchscreen technology has revolutionised a lot of industries with its use spanning a wide range of applications.Capacitive touchscreen technology is utilised in most types of devices, mainly industrial PCs.
Recent Advances in Touchscreens with Projected Capacitive Technology
Capacitive multi-touch, mainly projected capacitive technology may be popular now, but it hasn’t always been so. Active and passive digitisers were the technologies in use before the world was introduced to capacitive touch. With capacitive digitisers, the use of a pen was necessary to operate a device accurately.
Ruggedising Projected Capacitive Touch Technology for Industrial Uses
Touch screen technology has had an impact outside of the consumer sector with industrial applications realising the potential of using the technology in devices. However, the harsh conditions that computers have to endure in industrial surroundings mean that the use of projected capacitive touch technologyis impractical, which forces most sectors to rely on resistive touch.
Touchscreen Technology: Designing and Optimising Electrodes for PCT
Applications such as gaming, signage and retail use projected capacitive touchscreen technology for various operations.
The Never-Expanding Scope of Projected Capacitive Touch Technology
Since the introduction and subsequent popularity of touchscreens, user interface technology has faced a continuous and rapid evolution to meet consumer expectations. This evolution is partly due to the emergence of projected capacitive touch technology, which now enables multitouch and gesture recognition in today’s smartphones and tablets.
The Future of Touch: Improving Upon the First Capacitive Touchscreen
It’s undeniable that capacitive touchscreens have become a large part of everyday life. From the smartphone you use to the computers you operate at your workplace, all of it designed to make doing certain tasks easier.
A Closer Look at Resistive and Capacitive Touchscreen Technology
Few decades back, touchscreen technology wasused only for high-tech applications, usually in top research centers and multibillion dollar manufacturing facilities.
History of the Industrial Projected Capacitive Touchscreen Development
Dr. Sam Hurst originally put together a team and formed a company to refine the original concept of the elograph, the first touchscreen prototype, in 1971, with a patent of the University of Kentucky Research Foundation. In 1977, that company came up with the resistive touch screen- the most common technology today. Dr Hurst’s partnership with Siemens proved to be …
Building a High Quality Industrial Projected Capacitive Touchscreen
Touch screens are used for different applications in everyday life. These technologies vary in their makeup and functioning. The resistive touch screen technology is the most popular and works by detecting a change in voltage when pressure is applied on a screen. Capacitive touch screens detect changes in capacitance when a finger or conductive stylus touches the display. There are …
The Durability and Efficiency of Projected Capacitive Touchscreen
Manufacturers have come up with varying touchscreen types that cater to different requirements. Some of the touchscreens used in industrial environments include; projected capacitive touchscreen, surface capacitive, SAW, resistive, optical, and magnetic. Each of these technologies has characteristics that make them perfect for certain industrial applications.
