Traditionally, information and ticketing terminals have used alternative touchscreen technologies such as resistive or infrared. However, since projected capacitive touchscreens have become commonplace in mobile handsets, consumers can find these older touchscreens unresponsive by comparison.
Projected capacitive touchscreens also offer manufacturers other advantages in terms of device longevity as there are no moving parts, the device is always calibrated and the sensor is safely behind a front glass which can be designed to withstand significant abuse without failing.
TouchNetix provides a range of robust industrial grade capacitive touchscreen modules suitable for information and ticketing terminals in sizes up to 24” inches diagonal. Touchscreen modules can also be built to meet specific impact resistance ratings depending on the requirement.
TouchNetix touchscreens are all multitouch, enabling operations such as pinching and zooming for navigating maps or looking at images. With multitouch all touches are detected so if a user leans on the screen whilst operating it, this touch can be detected and ignored, without affecting the operation of the display system.
With careful touchscreen design and tuning, contaminants on the touchscreen surface such as rainwater, can be detected and ignored, a feature which is critical for terminals installed outdoors. TouchNetix have developed the Brilliance and Luminance product families covering a range of screen sizes. TouchNetix can also develop custom information terminal touchscreen products for specific design requirements.
