Crystal Touch is ideally suited for applications that require high durability, TRUE multi-touch performance and enhanced optical clarity, even in harsh and demanding environments.

With Ocular’s Crystal Touch PCAP panels, designers are able to combine the vibrant optical quality of a TFT display, the convenience of an easy-to-use touch panel and the extreme durability of projected capacitive technology required by demanding embedded applications. Crystal Touch is made of capacitive glass, resulting in a very durable touch panel that is less susceptible to scratching, chemicals in the environment and other contaminants. The glass construction of Crystal Touch, combined with Ocular’s unique Low-Viz ITO design, ensures a crystal clear image.

Crystal Touch projected capacitive touch panels (PCAP) perform more reliably for a longer period of time when compared to other touch technologies, such as surface capacitive and resistive touch panels. A typical resistive touch panel is made of film and depends upon the flexibility of the panel to register a user selection. The pressure applied with each touch to a resistive touch panel gradually erodes the structural integrity of the film, reducing reliability and optical clarity. A Crystal Touch panel registers the user selection from the capacitive effects produced when a finger or stylus touches the panel, not the deformation of the panel itself. Due to the durability of the all-glass construction, Crystal Touch maintains its integrity and performance over a long lifecycle, providing a significant return on investment.
