Large LCD Touch Screen Panels

  • Optical - Optical technology uses two or more camera-like optical lenses placed around the edges of the screen that detect touch. These touch screens can be made very large and are very durable. With this unique technology the "touch" actually registers just before the physical touch on the screen. This technology is growing in popularity, due to its scalability and versatility, which is especially critical with large LCD touch screens.
  • DST - Dispersive Signal Technology as engineered by 3M involves the measurement of bending waves (vibrations) that propagate out in all directions when the screen is touched. Piezo sensors located in the corners of the substrate apply a proprietary algorithm that quickly calculates the touch location. The rate of detection is so fast that a user can touch the screen several times in rapid succession and each touch will register immediately and accurately. Horizon Display integrates DST technology behind the original OEM stock bezel.
  • Elegant Presentation - No overlays are necessary with Horizon Display touch screen integrations. Horizon Display's engineering capabilities allow them to design and manufacture a bezel that fits around both the original substrate and touch screen panel, creating the most aesthetically pleasing and versatile touch monitor on the market today.
  • Quickest Inquiry-to-Implementation Turnaround - Beginning with your very first call or email to Horizon and ending with you or your customer utilizing their Solutions-on-Demand, the turnaround time ranges from as little as one day to up to six weeks for more custom large LCD touch screen requirements. That puts Horizon Display far ahead of their competitors.
  • Simple Set Up and Use - Horizon's touch screen monitors are ready to operate straight out of the box! Horizon's optical Solution-on-Demand option does not require special software drivers; they incorporate HID compliant USB plug-and-play interfaces. One time calibration by any user guarantees up to five million precision touch screen panel touches. Just minutes after receipt, your touch screen options are providing you return on your investment.

    Surface Capacitive - This new surface capacitive touch system from 3M is optimized for retail and consumer applications, such as video phones, home automation, retail POP displays and small all-in-one devices, using 5.7 in. to 32 in. LCD displays. With a reduced component count and slim 0.8 in. x 1.9 in. board, this USB-HID controller is up to 54% smaller and requires up to 25% less power compared to typical 5-wire resistive solutions, making it ideal for compact touch devices with limited board space and low power requirements.
