P-CAP touchscreens available with custom specifications

Distec laminates the PCAP touch foils in sizes from 17.78 to 68.58cm on custom glasses. Special glass forms, organic or ceramic prints in custom colours and logo prints: Distec implements them according to the customer's specifications. The choice ranges from special coatings such as antiglare or privacy filters to shatterproof safety glass in different strengths, which is indispensable especially in public areas.

Using a touch-foil instead of a conventional touch screen eliminates a glass layer between the TFT display and the cover glass. This reduces the light refraction and the unit of touchscreen and display provides better optical results. Moreover, this solution saves space and weight, an important advantage for mobile applications or for devices offering limited space.

"Our modular, compact touch solutions are implemented according to customer requirements," said Matthias Keller, COO, Components, Distec. "Whether a custom coloured print or a custom touch in a special size and with buttons on the sides - we offer countless design variations. Areas of application are virtually unlimited, ranging from public areas such as POS and signage systems to mobile applications or use for machinery in production and industry."

Depending on the version, the multi-touch foils provide up to ten touch points and are available with different interfaces: in addition to the cost-saving versions with I²C controller, there are HID compatible versions with USB controller available. These do not need any drivers for modern operating systems such as Windows 7 or up. Some touch foils also provide an RS232 interface. In addition to the modular design, the PCAP touchscreens are available as a standard product with black passe-partout print.
