The military requires resilient and tested technology to conduct safe and successful operations. As automation advances, military displays are also constantly evolving. They integrate innovative technologies to build even ruggedized defense applications. However, conditions like rain, persistent temperature swings, and varying amounts of shock and vibration inhibit military operations if the equipment is insufficient to tackle these issues. However, by integrating A D Metro’s ULTRA resistive touchscreens , military displays can be powered to operate in the above conditions. As a popular touchscreen technology in military applications, A D Metro’s patented ULTRA resistive touch sensors offer a reliable pressure activated touch that can be glove operated. Moreover, they have excellent electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) characteristics, can be integrated into ruggedized enclosures for extreme environments, and are available with a range of filters and optical enhancements to make perfect...

When it comes to the integration of Projected Capacitive (PCAP) touchscreens, sensitivity to radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) turns out to be a major challenge. This generally happens because PCAP touchscreens need to work with radio frequency emissions. LCDs, power supplies, and backlighting, can generate electrical noise. As a result, EMI/RFI can interfere with the detection of touch events in PCAP touch screens, causing false touches and failed touch screen responses.  Manufacturers use firmware and hardware to avoid interference by RFI and EMI in PCAP touchscreens by switching operating frequencies for instance. Basically, standard PCAP touch controllers detect changes in capacitance to determine touch positions, so PCAP touch sensors need to resist interference to avoid false signals. This is where A D Metro’s ARGON PCAP controller supersedes standard controllers with its advanced features facilitating simplified integration, without n...
