Touchscreen Touching base

October 8th, 2009

Capacitive touch screens are very popular for self service touchscreen applications, as they are durable, reliable and optically clear to allow the full brightness and colour of the display graphics to shine through. A clear glass sensor is attached to the front of the machines display, typically an LCD panel in one of the standard [...]

Touchscreen Learning Inside Out
