It’s not the first time we’ve talked about the phenomena of the ‘ghost touch’ or ‘false touch’, where a touch screen responds, seemingly without human interaction. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you view it!), there is nothing spooky going on here.
It’s important to take a step back and consider just what your application really needs when it comes to wear and tear. Because while the ultimate in toughness might be your immediate choice, it could be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut – it’ll do the job, but did you really need all that power?
Capacitive sensors are great – highly reliable and have a wide range of functions. You can’t argue with their usefulness in household electronics, especially as panels in such products are becoming thinner and lighter with almost every iteration. In the automotive world, however, this isn’t exactly desirable. In this industry, sensitive sensor technology is subject to stricter requirements, both in terms of service life and environmental influences.
‘True color’ is one of those expressions that takes on a different meaning, depending on who you’re talking to. For an artist or designer, it refers to the accurate depiction of colour in an image – as close to the original as possible. In the world of displays, it defines the palette of around 16 million colors on a PC (otherwise known as 24-bit color depth).
Are you feeling lost? That you simply don’t have enough hours in the day to spend hunting for the perfect display model? And then there’s the challenge of finding the right partner to help you with your visualization or HMI. Sheesh. It shouldn’t be this hard, right?

See-through TV screens may have been all the rage at this year’s CES in Las Vegas, and we have to admit, we’re fans. But, for us, the excitement lies in all the possible ways this technology can be used in our world of displays.
We don’t need to tell you what exactly is so great about our new 15.6” ONCELL touch monitor – it’s all in the title of this article. But what we do need to explain is how on-cell technology achieves the kind of fast, thin and strong monitor that is ideal for training environments, point of sale and more.
How many times have you touched a glass screen today? Ten? Twenty? Thirty? More? Unless you’re actively monitoring your screen time, it’s barely even a consideration. But the kind of glass you interact with matters. The way it looks influences your experience of the screen, even if you don’t consciously realise it. And the coverglass has usually been designed for the optimum comfort of use – and style.
Sometimes products need a fanfare and sometimes… well, they’re just quietly great. Our new 7” SimplePlus touch display is in the second category. It’s superb – in the right hands. What do we mean by that? Well, on the face of it, it’s what might be called ‘mid-range’. A product that delivers the perfect balance between cost and performance, which is exactly what you need if you’re looking for affordability without cutting corners. You might call it the unsung hero of touch displays.
