Infrared Touch Sensor Boasts Lower Profile And Extended Resolution

A new infrared touch sensor and controller claims a thinner profile and better resolution than previous models. The new 15" low-profile touch sensor stands just 6 mm high including infrared opto-electronics circuitry and a 2-mm filter. This is approximately 50% thinner than the older model. The companion 4000S controller, which employs the company's CarrollTouch scanning infrared technology, features an extended digital touch resolution of 4,096 x 4,096. This provides twice the accuracy of previous products and, as a result, a smoother touch response. The touch sensor fits a variety of 15" LCDs and is available with three filter options: no filter, acrylic, or glass. ELO TOUCHSYSTEMS INC., A Unit of Tyco Electronics, Fremont, CA. (510) 608-3200.
