PCAP technology dominates the consumer electronics market. Its high precision, excellent image quality and superior multi-touch support make it the ideal choice for the interactive and demanding interfaces of modern smartphones and tablets. The durable glass finish contributes to a premium user experience.
Resistive touchscreens are well suited for industrial environments and machine operation (HMI). Because they respond to pressure, they can be reliably operated with gloves, which is essential in many factory or manufacturing environments. They are also insensitive to electrical interference and liquids.
Infrared (IR) and SAW technologies are often used in public applications such as information kiosks, ticket machines and automated teller machines (ATMs). Their robust construction and ability to work through thick glass make them durable and suitable for intensive public use.
Infrared (IR) touch technology is a cost-effective and scalable solution for large-format interactive displays, such as digital whiteboards or digital signage. The technology is based on a frame around the screen, making it easy to apply to displays of almost any size without performance degradation.
PCAP technology is the standard for advanced multi-touch, enabling intuitive gestures such as zooming and swiping. Infrared (IR) also supports multi-touch. Resistive and SAW displays are typically limited to single-touch, making them less suitable for complex, modern interfaces.
PCAP screens with a glass surface are very durable and scratch-resistant. Resistive screens have a flexible top layer that is more sensitive to wear and tear. Infrared technology has no layers over the screen, which improves durability, but the sensors in the bezel can be vulnerable. SAW is susceptible to scratches and dirt.
PCAP screens require a conductive object such as a finger. Resistive screens respond to pressure and work with any object, including gloves. Infrared and SAW detect interruption of light or sound waves and can also be operated with various objects, but can sometimes register unintended activations.
PCAP, Infrared and SAW technologies provide superior optical clarity and light transmission. This results in sharp, vivid images. Resistive touchscreens have multiple layers that partially absorb and reflect light, resulting in noticeably lower brightness and image quality.
At Dytos, we understand that each industry has specific requirements for touch solutions. That's why we offer a wide range of products and services designed to meet these diverse needs.
