Elo ships new flat-front touchscreens

March 29, 2005

MENLO PARK, Calif. - Elo TouchSystems Inc., a business unit of Tyco Electronics, is shipping its new range of Super Flat Profile touchscreens that extend the company's IntelliTouch pure glass surface wave touch technology. IntelliTouch SFP touchscreens use the company's recently patented grating technology to achieve distinct advantages: a true flat front surface that smoothes out the bumps of integration, narrower borders around the active touch-sensitive area, and a new flat cabling system. All help enable the touchscreen to fit into tighter form factors than before. "Elo was the first in the world to introduce pure glass touchscreen technology for superior optics, reliability, stability and light transmission," said Mike Sigona, Elo market manager, Europe. "Now we take another step forward with our recently patented grating technology. The new IntelliTouch SFP touchscreens have the sensing transducers mounted on the back of the glass so that the touchscreen is 100 percent flat, making integration much easier."
