Elo unveils APR technology at SID conference

June 6, 2006

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Elo TouchSystems, provider of touch technology and a division of Tyco Electronics Corp., has developed acoustic pulse recognition (APR), a new way of sensing touches on a display. Consisting of only a glass overlay mounted in front of the display, together with a small electronic controller board, Elo's APR technology provides a new set of benefits that have been only partially achieved before by other touch technologies.

The new APR touch technology was formally announced June 7, 2006, at the Society for Information Display (SID) International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, Calif. Demonstrations of APR on Elo's popular 1529L 15-inch LCD desktop touchmonitors will be conducted at Elo's booth #236 from June 7 through June 8, 2006. The 1529L touchmonitors will be available for purchase September 2006, with APR included as an additional touch technology choice. Elo will initially direct its APR touch technology toward the retail and restaurant POS markets.
