Capacitive touch technology is constantly evolving. Not only in trade, agriculture or the medical sector. In industry, too, companies are increasingly relying on high-quality PCAP touchscreens. Because in the harsh industrial working environment where liquids, chemicals or heavy dirt are part of everyday working life, robust and at the same time user-friendly touch displays with high surface resistance and interference immunity (EMC) are required.
The so-called projected capacitive touchscreens belong to a new touchscreen technology that is well suited for outdoor use as well as in industrial environments. It is extremely robust, durable and weatherproof, multi-touch capable and reacts to mere touch - without pressure. Compared to resistive systems, PCAP touchscreens have the great advantage that they can also be operated through closed glass or plastic surfaces. In addition, the transmittance (screen brightness) is very good. With glass-on-glass solutions, values of more than 90% light transmission are achieved. In the case of plastic surfaces, the value drops slightly. In addition, projected capacitive technology (PCAP) supports one, two, or multiple touch points (single, dual, and multi-touch).
