How A D Metro Makes Infrared Touchscreens More Useful through LCIR Technology?

 In recent times, IR (Infrared) touchscreens have gained popularity as an excellent alternative to conventionally used touchscreens. Infrared touchscreens are preferred over projected capacitive and resistive touch technologies for applications that require advanced yet cost-effective solutions. In particular, for applications of large sizes, Infrared touchscreens appear to be an economical choice than other touch technologies available on the market.

 Moreover, the simple construction of the IR touch technology makes it even more feasible to integrate into required devices. Some Infrared touch sensors are designed with no substrate glass or conductive coatings on them. This prevents degradation of the display’s image since there’s no glass cover over the display as in resistive and capacitive touch sensors. IR (infrared) touchscreen technology offers flexibility to custom design an application by simply adjusting the number of LEDs and photo-detectors embedded over the frame.  


   To extend the application of IR touch technology, A D Metro has introduced innovative Linear Correlating Infrared (LCIR) touch technology. LCIR touchscreens are recommended for critical user input in automotive, aviation, medical applications, and all markets where an ultra-reliable touchscreen function is required.   

 A D Metro’s Linear Correlating Infrared (LCIR) touch technology functions seamlessly even when exposed to challenging environments such as strong radio frequency interference (RFI) and luminous sunlight interference, such as strobing sunlight in helicopters. 

  LCIR (Infrared) touch technology by A D Metro has been engineered with the following features.  


·         Optical clarity: Since there is no substrate glass used in the construction of innovative LCIR (infrared) touchscreens, the display offers maximum contrast with 100 % optical clarity. 

·         Sunlight Immunity: LCIR touchscreens are 100 % immune to sunlight. This allows seamless operations of applications in any light conditions. 

·         EMI and RFI immunity: A D Metro has made LCIR touchscreens 100% EMI and RFI immune, so there will be no loss of touch response. 

·         Multi-touch: To enhance the functionality of navigation applications, LCIR touchscreens are equipped with reliable two-touch functionality. 

·         Glove and Stylus Operated: LCIR touchscreens can be activated through gloved hands and a stylus of 5mm, so the display can be operated without distractions. 

 Application of A D Metro’s LCIR Touch Technology 

The above features make A D Metro’s LCIR technology suitable for touch displays fitted in avionics, automotive, nautical systems and particularly those applications where high-resolution displays are used such as in mapping, targeting and radar. These features, in combination, make these advanced IR (infrared) touchscreens perfect for aircraft navigation systems where the displays commonly use circular polarizers for contrast enhancement and glare/reflectivity control where sensor glass over top would diminish the polarizers effectiveness. 

 LCIR touchscreens offer a reliable two-touch function that is responsive and accurate, making them perfect for navigation applications. They also overcome operator distractions like loss of touch response due to RF interference and insufficient display contrast caused by bright or strobing sunlight.

The Fundamental Concept of Waterproof Touch Screens

Image
  Several commercial fields require waterproof solutions for their operational equipment, and touchscreen devices are no different. Whether it is military, marine, or industrial applications, they all need waterproof touch screen devices. In fact, waterproof touch displays are a top technological solution, offering ease of use in outdoor environments.   However, not all touch screen solutions come with waterproofing technology. Particularly, conventional touch screens do not feature robust solutions as required in industrial applications or extreme outdoor environments, necessitating the integration of advanced solutions. What is Waterproof Touch Screen Technology?  Waterproof displays or touch screen monitors refer to sealed properties of the sensor face and housing to prevent dust, dirt, and moisture contamination. An Ingress Protection (IP) rating such as IP-67 is a common standard to identify the equipment seal quality. However, a good seal does not mean the eq...

5-Wire Resistive Touch Screens Now Offer Multi-Touch Features with an Advanced Two-Touch Controller

Image
Touch screens supporting multiple points of simultaneous touch are not uncommon in the market. Referred to as a multi-touch feature, it widens the input capabilities of devices. A touch screen offering the multi-touch feature, usually allows input using two fingers, for example, pinching on the screen will zoom the display in or out. Two finger touching can also enable the rotating of an image. This is just one of many features of using multi-touch. Earlier, there were not many options for touch screens supporting multi-touch, and capacitive touch screens were the most common choice for reliable solutions. In fact, manufacturers were only using its advanced Projected Capacitive version, but this touch technology has its own limitations: It uses human capacitance to detect touch commands which makes it difficult to use in industrial settings;   It doesn’t support touch input through gloved fingers (thin or surgical gloves may work). If stylus usage is required, then a special c...
