Elo surface capacitive touchscreens provide a solution for customers seeking an alternative to the currently available capacitive options. The transparent protective coating makes the sensor resistant to scratches and abrasions. Touch performance is unaffected by everyday use and mishaps such as dirt, dust, condensation, liquid spills, contaminants or cleaning solutions. And the Elo-designed controller responds to quick, light touches, and operates drift-free even in areas of poor grounding.
Elo’s Surface Capacitive touchscreens are a reliable resource for the capacitive options currently available and from a world-class manufacturer. They are ideal for use in gaming and casino applications, especially bar-top and slot machine installations.
Elo has utilized over 35 years of design knowledge and applied it to a completely new capacitive touchscreen product line. Elo’s narrow, patented Z-borders yield an inherently linear sensor. The transparent protective coating makes the sensor resistant to scratches and abrasions. Touch performance is unaffected by everyday abuse and mishaps such as dirt, dust, condensation, liquid
spills, contaminants or cleaning solutions. Yet the surface capacitive touchscreens respond quickly and easily with
excellent dragging performance. Elo’s capacitive touchscreens deliver the quality touch response you would expect from Elo.

- Proprietary Elo narrow Z border for greater linearity
- Fast, sensitive touch response with excellent dragging performance
- Compatible with industry standard protocols including the Elo SmartSet protocol
Applications
- Point-of-Sale terminals (POS)
- Kiosks
- Gaming/amusement
