In the white goods and appliance marketplace, Ocular is renowned for our ruggedized touch displays, LCDs and sub-assemblies. Ocular’s touch displays and LCDs are used in numerous appliance applications that operate in extreme temperatures with high reliability and long life. New consumer demand for products with a clean, zero-bezel industrial design make Ocular’s Crystal Touch projected capacitive touch panel products an excellent fit. Along with its durability, performance and clarity, Crystal Touch provides significant design flexibility and has been used in many cover lens configurations.
Eliminating mechanical buttons on white goods with a touch screen will increase the lifespan of the device. The all-glass construction of Crystal Touch provides a smooth surface that can be used in a zero-bezel design, providing a tightly sealed enclosure that keeps dirt and debris out of the machine. Crystal Touch is a ruggedized projected capacitive touch panel that will not deform over time, is scratch resistant and increases optical clarity. White goods and appliances are used on a daily basis and require a touch interface that can continue to operate for long periods of time. Crystal Touch is designed for frequent use and can also withstand harsh cleaners that may be used to disinfect kitchen appliances. Extreme durability, increased optical clarity and a user-friendly touch screen will enhance and upgrade standard appliances.
Most white goods utilize smaller touch screens and Ocular has a wide range of touch panels available. Standard sizes range from 3.5″ to 18.5″ and custom sizes are also available. If smaller sizes are required, additional design flexibility is offered with the Chip on Flex (COF) versions of Crystal Touch, integrating the controller on the flex cable instead of an additional PCB saves space.
With many years of experience providing touch panels, LCDs and turnkey solutions, Ocular is the perfect partner for OEM customers looking to develop their next generation product with a leading-edge industrial design, look and feel.
