"By implementing this private label agreement with Elo TouchSystems, we now have the premier touch company promoting our unique technology through their global sales channels", says Ian Lawson, Chief Executive, Zytronic Displays.
"The decision to enter into a private label agreement with Zytronic was prompted by the synergy of two innovative and forwardlooking companies", says Mark Mendenhall, President, Elo TouchSystems.
"The addition of projected capacitive touchscreens is complementary to Elo's existing touch technologies and expands Elo's comprehensive product offering to enhance our position as the leader in touch technology".
Elo's projected capacitive touchscreens are based on technology that enables the pointing device to sense through a protective screen in front of the display, so the units can be installed behind a store window or other protective materials.
The solid-state construction of the touchscreen provides unsurpassed resistance to impacts, scratches and vandalism, making it ideal for public-access applications.
The touchscreen is unaffected by moisture, heat, rain, or harsh cleaning fluids.
The embedded sensor and solid-state controller provide increased levels of reliability and life expectancy, resulting in a drift-free response and a low-maintenance unit that requires no recalibration.
