Elo launches 19-inch, LCD rear-mount touch monitors

January 21, 2004

FREMONT, Calif. -- Elo TouchSystems Inc., global provider of touch technology and a business unit of Tyco Electronics, has unveiled its new 1947L 19-inch LCD rear-mount touch monitor.

The 1947L expands Elo's existing family of 12.1-, 15-, 17-, and 18-inch LCD chassis touch monitors that feature Elo's IntelliTouch or SecureTouch surface-wave technologies, according to a news release.

Elo's touchmonitors offer a variety of mounting options and feature a unique injection-molded minibezel with a watertight seal, which make them ideal for public access and industrial applications.

Said Paul Wiener, Elo's marketing manager, "Like the 12- to 18-inch products, the 1947L has a longer-lasting product cycle because the enclosure is controlled by Elo's design specifications. This means that future panel upgrades are possible without external changes."

According to Wiener, Elo now offers touchmonitors for indoor/outdoor kiosks, ticketing machines, medical equipment, and industrial automation applications, available with a choice of touch technologies.

Elo's 1947L 19-inch LCD touch monitor has a wider viewing angle: 170 degrees vertical by 170 degrees horizontal, according to the release. Mark Bolt, Elo's product manager, said in the release, "The large, brilliant display and wide viewing angle grab the user's attention and the pure glass touchscreen continues to maintain the graphic quality and clarity."
