Effective privacy filters and surface finishes

Privacy protection and the associated data protection is an increasingly important requirement for touch systems. With the ever-increasing use of touchscreens, the need for view-protected touchscreens is also increasing.

In the case of touch systems for ATMs, an effective privacy filter is essential and is often already standard. However, numerous other areas of application also require this special surface refinement in order to ensure that the touch system is operated from view. For example, touchscreens with a special privacy filter are used in insurance terminals or in P.O.I. touch systems for pharmacies.

Interelectronix offers special solutions for touchscreens with high-quality privacy filters that reliably protect against the prying interest of people standing around.

Protect privacy easily and efficiently

The principle of operation of privacy filters is over 300 years old. A privacy filter consists of parallel slats, but today they are microscopically small.

You can only see through the slats at an angle of 180 degrees. This means that a person who is not standing exactly in front of the privacy filter cannot see what is displayed on the screen.

Vikuiti™ Privacy Filter by 3M

Interelectronix uses the Vikuiti™ privacy filter from 3M for the construction of view-protected touchscreens. Vikuiti™ is currently the highest quality privacy filter that offers perfect privacy protection while at the same time providing flawless optical transmission of the image to the user.

The Vikuiti™ privacy filter is a complexly constructed surface based on 3M's micro-slat technology. To create a privacy filter, over a dozen finest black, non-reflective slats are applied per millimeter and distributed over the entire size of a screen.

Touchscreens with Vikuiti™ privacy filters are manufactured using cleanroom technology, because even the slightest impurities would damage the delicately designed filter. As a result, the privacy filter protects from Interelectronix to a viewing angle of about 45° from prying eyes.

Such a filter ensures that the user himself, who looks directly at the screen, can see all the data and details in the best possible way. Strangers who look at the touchscreen from the side, on the other hand, only recognize a black screen.

The Vikuiti™ privacy screen can be supplied for both PCAP and GFG panels from Interelectronix . Other finishing options include glossy or anti-reflective surfaces.
