Disign, Zytronic's Japanese partner and touch display integration specialist, has introduced its infoverre double-sided LCD display unit into an interactive touchscreen module for a chain of Japanese drive-thru quick-service restaurants, according to a press release.

Single-sided versions for indoor self-service ordering have also been deployed.

The units feature Zytronic's all-weather ZyBrid 15.6-inch multitouch sensors mounted directly in contact with the display's surface in conjunction with Zytronics' ZXY500 projected capacitive controllers.

The infoverre glass signage display solution, which Disign acquired from AGC Inc. in 2021, mitigates light reflection, which typically occurs at the interface of layered substrates because of different refractive indices.

With a conventional touchscreen system, reflection can occur on the front and back of the touch sensor and from the display surface, but with the infoverre structure, reflection only occurs from the surface of the cover glass or touch sensor, improving visibility which can be enhanced further by using anti-glare or anti-reflective treatments.

Combined with zero air gap, parallax and image visibility are improved compared to conventional higher brightness touchscreen systems deployed outdoors. This enables Disign to reduce the backlight brightness of the LCD and thereby reduce the power consumption of the QSR kiosk.
