Ocular products have been meeting and exceeding the demanding performance requirements for some of the largest HVAC control companies for many years. Ocular LCDs and touch screens can be found in indoor and outdoor HVAC control systems, residential thermostats, industrial HVAC controls and thermostats used in recreational vehicles.
Crystal Touch, Ocular’s premier line of projected capacitive touch panels, can withstand extreme temperatures and the all-glass construction provides a smooth surface that keeps dirt and debris from entering the device. HVAC and climate control devices are found in a wide range of applications and environments. Crystal Touch has been ruggedized to function in extremely high temperatures, extremely low temperatures and the rugged construction adds durability for devices that are used in industrial environments as well.
Providing a scratch resistant surface, Crystal Touch projected capacitive touch panels enhance the look and feel of system controls. Ocular touch panels can be incorporated in zero-bezel designs which allows for a tightly sealed enclosure. A tighter enclosure increases the overall lifespan of the device, keeping dirt and debris from entering the control panel. For added design flexibility, Crystal Touch standard products are now available with Chip on Flex (COF) assemblies. Using a COF design saves space in the enclosure, which is usually small in HVAC control systems. For HVAC systems that utilize a smaller enclosure, the new Crystal Touch EDGE products are over 30% thinner than standard Crystal Touch products and can save additional room inside the device.
HVAC and climate control systems are used frequently and the all-glass construction of Crystal Touch provides a durable interface that will not deform with frequent use.
This challenging market is characterized by high volumes and rigorous quality standards: a perfect fit with Ocular’s world-class manufacturing capabilities and robust quality control.
