Resistive Touch Technology (activated by any input stylus).

• PC-Based Serial Controller, Ideal Etch
• Gasket sealed for water resistance
• Engineered to ISO 9001 standards
• UL and FCC compliant

MicroTouch Systems' 5-wire touch screen, offers the highest level of durability of any resistive touchscreen.  TouchTek% is constructed of a hard coated polyester topsheet that is overlaid on a conductively-coated glass layer.   Voltage is applied to the topsheet.  As the user touches the screen, the topsheet compresses into contact with the glass layer, and current flows to the four corners in proportion to the distance from the edge.  The TouchTek5 controller then calculates the position of the finger or stylus, based on the current flows.

Because 5-wire technology derives both the "X" and "Y" touch coordinates from the stable glass layer, the accuracy and operation of TouchTek5 is unaffected by damage to the topsheet caused by extended use or neglect.

   
Capacitive Touch Technology (durable, reliable, finger sensitive)

• PC-Based Serial Controller, NL Etch
• Bonded for shatter-proof performance and improved optics
• Gasket sealed for water resistance
• Engineered to ISO 9001 standards
• UL and FCC compliant

MicroTouch Systems' next generation capacitive touchscreen, offers unmatched durability, reliability, and optical clarity for public-access and your business applications.  Popular applications are gaming machines, and Point of Sale.  ClearTek 3000's ultra-smooth overcoat drastically increases physical durability by resisting scratches and abrasions to the touch screen surface.  ClearTek 3000's performance is unaffected by everyday contaminants and its ultra-smooth overcoat sets new standards for environmental robustness by causing liquids to more readily bead up and slide off the touchscreen.

ClearTek 3000 touchscreens are constructed of an all-glass sensor with a transparent, thin-film conductive coating applied to its surface.  An electrode pattern is precisely printed along the edge on the conductive layer.  A transparent glass overcoat (ClearTek 3000) is fused over the conductive coating to protect and seal the sensor.  The glass sensor is often etched to provide the suitable clarity and anti-reflective properties for the touchscreen application.

How ClearTek 3000 Works:

Voltage is applied to the screen and the electrode pattern uniformly distributes a low-voltage field over the conductive layer.   When a finger touches the screen, it "capacitively couples" with the voltage field, drawing a minute amount of current to the point of contact.  The current flow from each corner is proportional to the distance from the corner to the finger.  The touchscreen simply calculates the flow proportions to locate the touch.
