In response to industrial requirements, NLT is increasing its
focus on providing Industrial display Solutions. Development areas
include long life backlights now up to 100k hours, vibration tolerant designs,
high bright backlights and integrated touch sensors with and without optical
bonding.
Through 2013 they plan to introduce a range of displays with integrated PCAP touch screens, screen sizes will be from 6.5inch through to 12.1 inch as standard products. All will be fitted
with a one glass PCAP sensor ensuring the units are thin and as light as
possible.
Also there will be two options on how the sensor is bonded
to the display panel, for normal applications the sensor will be bonded to the
bezel with an air gap between the sensor and the TFT front glass. For
applications in high ambient light, the sensors can be optically bonded to the
panel. This is where the air gap is filled with a material of a similar refractive
index to the glass. This reduces the reflections from each air/glass surface (normally
around 4%) thereby increasing the readability of the display.
The touch interface is via USB connection and a range of
support tools are also supplied to help tune the sensor for the application.
