Elo Touch gets in the game at ICE

January 27, 2012

TE Connectivity is showcasing its latest innovative Elo TouchSystems products for gaming applications this week at the annual ICE Totally Gaming exhibition in London.

Products include a 22-inch gaming LED touchmonitor, a wide viewing angle version of the recently released 2243L 22-inch open-frame monitor, alongside a new 55-inch model in the Interactive Digital Signage (IDS) family featuring multi-touch and a small 7-inch LCD display, according to company press release.

The new 22-inch monitor features a 16:9 aspect ratio high-definition display with LED backlight technology, providing true HD interactivity for the latest gaming applications. The wide viewing angle of 178 by 178 degrees allows colors to remain sharp and graphics to retain their integrity – which adds to the gaming pleasure – while the LED backlighting reduces power consumption and allows for slimmer dimensions enabling cabinet manufacturers to produce thinner and more aesthetically pleasing kiosk designs, according to the release. The 16:9 wide-screen format displays provide for extra content on the screen and are quickly becoming preferred in casino gaming, amusement and entertainment settings due to the high-definition cinematic-like experience.

Like the 2243L, the Elo TouchSystems 2244L monitor is available with either the TE Touch Solutions APR (Acoustic Pulse Recognition) or IntelliTouch surface acoustic wave touchscreen technology. These pure-glass touch solutions provide superior image quality to ensure that colours and optics of games are preserved.

Also on show is the latest product in the Interactive Digital Signage (IDS) family – the 55-inch model 5500L. This large-format touch display is useful for interactive advertising and visitor guidance in casinos and hotels and combines IntelliTouch touchscreen technology with commercial-grade, large format LCD panels in a flat design.

Lastly, the 7-inch LCD display – the Elo TouchSystems 0700L, is typically applied as a second display, facing the customer in POS and retail environments. It can also be set-up to be the main display for applications requiring a small screen, for example personal gaming screens as part of a larger interactive gaming table.

The company is also exhibiting touchmonitors with projected capacitive touchscreen technology – PCAP. Fast and sensitive response, zero-bezel design and multi-touch are some of the advantages of this technology. Also on show are desktop monitors and all-in-one touchcomputers featuring glass-to-edge iTouch surface acoustic wave touchscreen technology, the zero-bezel version of IntelliTouch, comprising a flat seamless glass touchscreen.
