User interface technology specialist, andersDX, has opened a European PCAP Touch Technology Centre, based at its HQ in Camden, London.
The Centre comprises a demonstration, innovation and development studio, giving medical, industrial, POS, white goods and other non-consumer goods manufacturers access to the company’s PCAP projected capacitive touch components, solutions and technology. These deliver an iPad type look and feel, and overcome the traditional technical and commercial challenges of long life availability and compliance with specific environmental requirements, states the company.
The Centre also facilitates the andersDX Flushtouch ‘custom PCAP design’ service. FlushTouch solutions comprise a standard, custom or semi-custom TFT integrated with a standard or custom PCAP sensor and custom coverlens. Custom PCAP/coverlens structures including Glass/Glass, Glass/Film and Single Glass are available.
The service adds industrial design and aesthetics to extended PCAP functionality. Touch sensors can be taken beyond the active display area and then bonded to a customised coverlens of a pre-selected thickness, made from a choice of materials for improved hardness and scratch resistance. From a design perspective, the coverlens can be in different colours with square or rounded corners, intricate cutouts, LED light guides for backlit effect, printed logos in multiple colours, and printed pushbuttons which use the extended touch sensor.
Also available are solutions to environmental compliance issues.
