Projected Capacitive Touch Panel

The Crystal Touch family of projected capacitive touch panels now includes TRUE multi-touch panels in the 4.3″, 7.0″, 10.1″, 10.4″ and 15.6″ sizes. Providing a variety of panel options, the Crystal Touch portfolio allows for additional products to benefit from the advanced technology of touch interfaces.

Crystal Touch: TRUE Multi-Touch represents the next generation of touch technology. Increasing the amount of touch points on the panel will allow for greater functionality and additional interface possibilities.

True multi-touch panels are similar to single touch applications with how they interact with the controller. However, instead of a single touch point and single source of instructions given to the controller, a true multi-touch panel has additional touch points that can all be interpreted and give increased functionality to a product.

The Crystal Touch: TRUE Multi-Touch panel offerings are aesthetically pleasing, giving products a clean look and feel. Utilizing Ocular’s projected capacitive panel also lengthens the lifespan of products by increasing durability and enhancing optical clarity. The top layer of glass keeps the panel clean and can withstand harsh chemicals and cleaners. In addition to the ability to withstand harsh chemicals, Crystal Touch: TRUE Multi-Touch panels can also endure harsh environments and extreme temperatures.

Ocular offers additional product enhancements through Customization and Design services, such as Optical Bonding. This technology takes an already durable Ocular product and adds the technology of DuPont™ Vertak® to increase sunlight readability, impact resistance, durability and scratch resistance.

Ocular’s Crystal Touch: TRUE Multi-Touch line of projected capacitive touch panels gives products a competitive advantage with its clean look and true multi-touch interface. Featuring all glass construction, the Crystal Touch: TRUE Multi-Touch provides maximum optical clarity, does not lose its shape or deform over time and expands the lifespan of a product due to its increased durability. Made from capacitive glass, the all-glass construction provides a smooth surface that can withstand a wide range of temperatures: operating temperature ranges from −30° to 70°C and storage temperature is from −30° to 80°C. The all glass construction also provides a more durable product.

In addition to harsh environments, Crystal Touch: TRUE Multi-Touch panels are ruggedized and can handle abrasive cleaners, preventing any damage that may be caused if interaction with harsh chemicals occurs. This ultra-rugged panel is scratch resistant and can be an upgrade to products currently using a resistive touch interface or a single touch projected capacitive panel.

Projected Capacitive Coupling provided by Crystal Touch: TRUE Multi-Touch has a high resolution of 4096 x 4096, a fast sampling rate of 100 Hz, (10 ms per scan), auto calibration and is not restricted to just touch; panels will also work with a tethered stylus.

Customizable Options

Hardening
- Increasing the hardness and ruggedizing panels makes the interface more durable.
Impact resistance
- Multiple methods are available to increase the impact resistance of a panel. Adding strengthening material or using alternative materials is an option as well as optical bonding to make panels stronger.
Anti-glare treatments
- Treatments to reduce glare and increase display clarity are available on the Crystal Touch projected capacitive panels. Minimizing glare will create an enhanced image.
Anti-reflection treatments
- Minimizing reflection on the display is an option that will increase efficiency of the display due to less light that is lost.
Optical Bonding
- Eliminating air gaps and increasing enclosure strength is an optional upgrade to panels. Optical bonding is re-workable and increases sunlight readability up to 400% and impact resistance and scratch resistance up to 300%.
Coverplates with customer silkscreen
- Customized coverplates can be added to panels to reflect unique product designs.
