Touchscreens stand up to the rigours of the pub
Sound Leisure, a company that specialises in commercial digital jukebox technologies, has chosen to implement Zytronic touchscreen technology into it's latest free-standing and wall-mounted products.
Electronica 2006 is also the forum where, for the first time in Europe, Zytronic will be showing all the products within its PCT range.
This will include Zyswitch, a replacement for soft membrane switches and suitable for applications that require a keypad; Zytouch, an established choice for high-performance touchscreen applications such as information kiosks, ATMs and web phones; and Zypos, which by featuring all the benefits that Zytouch offers, brings PCT-based touch sensors to mass markets such as point-of-sale and gaming - but at a lower price point.
Zytronic's PCT touch sensors comprise an array of sensing capacitors in the form of micro gauge wire embedded within a glass or plastic layered laminated screen.
The sensitivity of a PCT array can be adjusted to sense touch through a distance of up to 20mm meaning that it can be embedded within a very thick laminate or behind a sacrificial front panel if required.
As a result, the sensing medium itself is well-protected from accidental and malicious damage and offers improved levels of reliability and durability than previously available technologies.
The sensitivity is adjusted by modifying the rate at which the controller scans the sensing array, and is achieved by writing to registers in the touchscreen controller.
Visitors to the stand will also be able to see Zytronic's wide range of customer-specific shielded window and optical filter technology which is available in glass, acrylic and polycarbonate.
