Office Equipment

Ocular has designed and manufactured many displays for various OEMs and ODMs throughout the years. Whether a telephone set, fax machine, copier or letter mailing device requires a display or touch panel, we have gained the trust of many high volume office equipment manufacturers as their preferred vendor for display systems.

Office equipment is now upgrading and incorporating touch screens to replace mechanical buttons. Crystal Touch projected capacitive touch panels are a great fit for office equipment and can enhance the look and feel of the machine. The all-glass construction provides a ruggedized touch interface that will not deform over time. Office equipment is used on a frequent basis and using a projected capacitive touch panel will increase the overall lifespan of the device. Crystal Touch can be used in zero-bezel designs that give equipment an industrial look and a tight enclosure, sealing the touch panel inside the device and keeping out dirt and debris. Crystal Touch panels also resist scratching, increase optical clarity and provide a user-friendly interface.

Office equipment benefits from TRUE multi-touch functionality. Many machines are multi-functional and the same machine can be used as a copy machine, fax machine and scanner. If utilizing a TRUE multi-touch panel as the control system, multiple users can interact with the device simultaneously. Crystal Touch: TRUE Multi-Touch is available in various sizes from 3.5″ to 17.0″ and provides up to 16 simultaneous touch points. To reduce design time and cost, Crystal Touch: TRUE Multi-Touch PLUS panels are available in standard sizes up to 18.5″ and come standard with a pre-integrated, optically bonded cover glass affixed to the touch panel. Standard sizes are also available with Chip on Flex (COF) assemblies to save space in the enclosure by integrating the controller chips on the flex cable, rather than on a PCB. Office equipment frequently utilizes small spaces for the display, the design flexibility of COF versions of Crystal Touch will help with overall design time by fitting in the allotted area without having to redesign the enclosure to accommodate a PCB board. Office equipment can also save space by incorporating the Crystal Touch EDGE as the touch interface. The new EDGE PCAP touch panels provide durability while being light-weight and reducing the glass thickness and overall stack-up of the touch panel.

Adding a Crystal Touch projected capacitive touch panel to office equipment will not only enhance the look and feel, but it will provide a user-friendly interface that will not deform or scratch with frequent use.
