We have competent custom touch screen design engineers on different levels, including:
- Mechanical Engineers - using AutoCAD and Solid works
- Board Level Design Engineers - with the capability to develop custom touch screen controllers or re-work an existing touch screen design
- Software Engineers - who can adapt firmware for our Prisma cards, developing new functions for customers requirements
Longevity of supply is key and we endeavour to design a custom touch screen using components with a good continuity of supply. If something should go obsolete we would be able to upgrade with no or minimal disruption to the monitor design, we look for form-fit-function capability.
Touch Screen Design Services
Mechanical Design
One of our biggest strengths is rapid prototyping for bespoke finished and open frame chassis'. We have a selection of standard POSLine Displays but if one of these is not suitable we will look at mechanical brief and engineer a solution. Whether it be another product which needs upgrading, or a new monitor design, we will design a custom touch screen solution aiming to tick all the boxes. Once the touch screen design is complete and approved, if required we can certify the product to the appropriate standard e.g. CE testing
Electronic Design
Within the group we have developed our own in-house Prisma range of AD cards, Industrial media players and LED backlight drivers. We control the design of all our custom touch screens so we are able to modify, adapt or re-work very quickly to enable new functions.
Complete TFT/SBC Kits
Includes preloading the SBC's with an image - we have the mass programming tools to burn images on SSD and HDD. Our ISO9001 and use of SAP ensures that we have full traceability. We allocate kits with unique parts, eliminating the risk of forgetting to order materials. We aim to always get it right.
Firmware Adjustments (to our Prisma range)
We often see customers who need the Prisma to perform certain functions e.g. fixed colour settings or timing to support legacy CRT displays. By modifying the firmware we can give each customer the functions they need.
We can fit touch screens to LCD's in our clean room environment. This means the customer does not have to take the risk as we can fit the custom touch screen avoiding breakage, misalignment or contamination. Depending on the application and budget we can use our highly effective strip bonding method or optical bonding.
Optical Bonding
To maximise daylight readability and ruggedness we have invested highly in a European based optical bonding facility. This is the process of applying silicone between the front of the LCD and the touchscreen cover filter.
TFT Enhancements (High Bright/Transflective)
We have many years experience in exchanging standard backlights and filter stacks with enhanced performance components offering premium
high brightness displays or bespoke backlights (i.e. night vision compatible backlights - NVIS).
Recently introduced is our infinity range of PCAP touchscreens, giving infinite options of touch. With no or small level of engineering (based on artwork) we can produce tablet edge to edge true flat glass touch screen designs which are shaped and branded. The tablet market has set a benchmark of what is expected from a touchscreen we are adding the finish needed. We now supply infinite touch to a range of markets including medical, gaming, vending and process control.
