PenTouch Capacitive Touchscreens
The PenTouch Capacitive screen is a durable Capacitive type touchscreen with an
attached pen stylus. The PenTouch screen can be set to respond to finger input
only, pen input only, or both. A capacitive touch screen consists of a glass
panel with a capacitive (charge storing) material coating its surface. Circuits
located at corners of the screen measure the capacitance of a person touching
the overlay. Frequency changes are measured to determine the X and Y coordinates
of the touch event.
Capacitive type touch screens are very durable, and
have a high clarity. They are used in a wide range of applications, from
restaurant and POS use to industrial controls and information kiosks. |
