ELO Projected Capacitive Touch Technology

Elo's projected capacitive technology enables touches to be sensed through a protective layer in front of a display, effectively allowing touchmonitors to be installed behind store windows or vandal-resistant glass. The transparent projected capacitive touchscreen, which is installed between the display and a protective outer layer, allows the complete system to have unsurpassed resistance to impacts, scratches, and vandalism commonly found in public-access applications. The sensing technology is also unaffected by moisture, heat, rain, snow and ice, or harsh cleaning fluids, making it ideal for outdoor applications as well. Offered in two versions: DirectTouch, which consists of a 7.8 mm sensor with tempered glass outer layer, and ThruTouch, which is optimized to work through a customerinstalled outer layer. The solid-state touchscreen and controller provide increased levels of reliability and longer life expectancy, resulting in a drift-free response and a low-maintenance unit that requires no recalibration.
