3M Touch Systems announces large-format touchscreens
November 20, 2007
ST. PAUL, Minn. — 3M Touch Systems Inc. has announced that its MicroTouch DST touchscreens will be available Jan. 1, 2008. MicroTouch DST touchscreens will be offered for select authorized NEC Integrators in North America in 32-, 40- and 46-inch screen sizes.
Based on 3M's patented Dispersive Signal Technology, MicroTouch DST touchscreens offer display integrators that are an ideal solution for large-format interactive applications that require fast, accurate, reliable touch response. Other features include operation unaffected by surface contaminants and "dynamic touch", which ignores static objects on the screen and allows for multi-user touch capabilities.
"DST touchscreens offer important ease-of-integration features not available from comparable touch technologies, such as no front surface components to impede bezel integration, easily sealable, and chemically-strengthened glass," said Chris Tsourides, 3M Touch Systems' business manager.
Dispersive Signal Technology recognizes touch by interpreting bending waves within the glass substrate created by the contact of a finger or stylus on the glass. Since bending waves are unaffected by on-screen contaminants and moderate surface damage, DST touchscreens work reliably for most public environments and applications, such as interactive digital signage, public way finders, point-of-information stations, corporate directories, retail product selectors, as well as conference room and education presentation systems.
