Resistive touchscreens are ideal for factories, restaurants and hospitals because of their high resistance to liquids and contaminants. Operation can be with a finger, stylus or gloves, which is essential in these demanding environments.
Surface Capacitive and SAW touchscreens are often used for public applications such as information kiosks and interactive digital signage. Their durability and superior image quality make them well suited for high-traffic indoor locations.
Projected Capacitive (PCAP) is the standard in modern consumer devices such as smartphones and tablets. This technology offers a very clear, scratch-resistant and durable glass surface, and is known for its excellent and responsive multi-touch functionality.
Infrared touchscreens are popular in industrial automation, medical equipment and outdoor kiosks. The rugged design is impervious to scratches on the screen surface, and the technology is easily scalable to very large sizes for control panels.
This technology works through physical pressure that brings two conductive layers into contact. It is a cost-effective solution that can be activated with any object. Disadvantages include lower image clarity and more limited durability compared to other technologies.
PCAP detects touch via a disruption in an electric field caused by the finger. This technology provides superior image clarity, high precision and multi-touch support. The durable glass surface makes it highly scratch-resistant and easy to clean.
SAW technology uses ultrasonic waves moving across the glass surface. A touch absorbs part of this wave, detecting its position. This results in excellent image clarity and scratch resistance, but its operation can be disrupted by dirt on the screen.
A grid of infrared rays is created just above the screen surface. An object interrupting this grid is detected as a touch. This technology is very durable because it does not require an overlay on the screen, but can be sensitive to direct sunlight or dirt buildup.
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.
