The double-layer structure offers great design freedom. This makes this type highly suitable for the development of customized touchscreens and for production in smaller series where flexibility is more important than minimal thickness.
The single-layer structure is the preferred choice for large-scale production, such as in consumer electronics, due to its thinner profile and higher light transmission. Although the sensor design is more complex, the efficiency benefits at high volumes are significant.
Placing the sensor on the rear of the substrate protects it from scratches, dirt, and wear. This results in a highly robust and reliable touchscreen that is ideal for use in public or industrial environments.
In this structure, the X and Y electrodes are divided across two separate layers of glass or film. This separation makes the design more flexible, but results in a thicker end product and slightly lower light transmittance.
Here, the X and Y electrodes are placed on a single layer of glass or film, separated by an insulating layer. This results in a thinner, lighter screen with superior light transmission for a brighter image.
Sensors can be manufactured from film (thin, light, and flexible) or glass (more reliable and robust). Various combinations, such as Glass/Glass or Film/Film, make it possible to tailor the properties to the specific requirements of an application.
The sensor can be integrated directly into the LCD module using On-cell or In-cell technology. This eliminates layers, resulting in a thinner screen profile and improved optical performance due to less reflection.
