For example, display and touch systems in medical applications must be much more robust:
In particular, EMC requirements require that no ghost touches are generated in an irradiation of 28V/m in some frequency ranges. Of course, our new touch controller means this is no longer an issue and the big challenge is to avoid ghost touches in high frequency surgery devices.
To address this, we have designed a highly robust touch solution that passes all necessary EMI/EMC tests and will eventually even block ghost touches from any nearby high frequency surgery devices or their cables.
To achieve this and ensuring that all issues are now avoided in medical applications, we adapted the pattern of the X/Y layers in the touch and added new special filters in the algorithm for the frequency of the touch IC (based on the SIS 95xx family).
This level of touch optimization is currently unique to Avnet and sits within our ability to improve time to market for our customers, even with such an important category of custom displays and HMIs.
Indeed, such HMIs are responsible for truly enhancing the patient/clinician experience by offering a 3D touch visualization which can be quickly shared with the patient (see left for example). Equally, such solutions are timesaving for doctors, allowing them to see more patients.
Are you familiar with Smart Surface Technology? If not, you should be. It’s nothing short of a breakthrough in displays and combines sleek design with the superb functionality that is the hallmark of Avnet Displays.
SimplePlus is an old friend to so many of our customers, which is why we are happy to adapt and modify this well-loved and reliable display to meet their changing requirements. Our latest addition to the range turns up the brightness on the popular 10.4” model.
