15

Capacitive Touch Membrane

Capacitive sensing technology uses embedded circuitry to create an electrical field able to detect the presence of a human finger or other conducting object entering its field.– PCB or Film Keypad– Excellent Response and Optical Performance– A protective overcoat will provide scratch

resistance and excellent clarity– Withstand contaminants such as dirt, water,

grease, running liquid, and harsh chemicals – Reduced Power Consumption– No Embossing Required– Backlighting– Electronics Development

Touch Screen Technology

Resistive touch is the least expensive technology and still used in application on very small devices and where there is minimum repetitive user input needed.

Projective Capacitive Touch Technology - This technology will work with a finger touch, finger with glove touch (limited to material and thickness) and special stylist.

Infrared touch also called IR touch is the generally the most expensive solution to implement. This solution most widely used in the military and harsh industrial environments.
