What options are available for sunlight readable touchscreen monitors?
Adding any additional layers in front of your LCD display is naturally going to reduce the ease of reading the display in a sunlit or other high ambient light environment. However, there are some measures that can be taken to reduce the degradation of image viewability & contrast that will occur with touchscreen devices.
FPD has seen promising results with various optically enhanced touchscreen devices, and are currently in the process of creating an entirely new design that we believe will make the resistive touchscreen viable in an environment that calls for sunlight readability. Other touchscreen devices that are well designed for similar environments include various models from Gunze and Fujitsu -although the lead times associated with the Fujitsu touchscreens can be quite long. In general, a touchscreen with a high transmissivity is preferred, but a design which minimizes reflection can sometimes yield better results even at a lower transmissivity.
In a kiosk terminal or high-traffic, public-use environment, capacitive or projected capacitance touchscreens are preferred. For smaller displays, many customers prefer to use a digitizer behind the LCD display with a piece of treated tempered glass in front of the display glass.

What types of touchscreens are available?
We can apply nearly any touchscreen type that you desire -including resistive, capacitive, surface wave acoustic, projected capacitance, infra-red, and ever a few others.
Our standard touchscreen monitors are provided with either a resistive or capacitive touchscreen.
