Capacitive Touch foil
Projective Capacitive touch foil screen (P-CAP, Pro-Cap or PCAP touch screens) sensors function by maintaining a standing electrical charge across the sensor that extends through a contact surface, where changes in the electrical charge caused by the proximity of other capacitive bodies (such as touch stylus, fingers etc.) can be detected by a touch controller.
Due to the glass surface, the PCAP touch screens are particularly scratch-resistant and can be cleaned with all cleaning agents – an important advantage in hygienically sensitive areas.
We are one of the leading suppliers of customized PCAP solutions with design and development in UAE and GCC countries like UAE,Saudi Arabia,Bahrain,Oman,Qatar.
Projected capacitive touch screens are usually briefly called PCAP touch screens. They are robust, can be easily equipped with protective glass and feature multi-touch function for up to 40 fingers, enabling gesture control.
PCAP touch screens are equipped with a network of electrodes (Metal Mesh, Silver Nanowire, ITO) that project an electromagnetic field that also passes through a thick protective glass. If this field changes at one point due to a touching finger or a stylus, the touch position is calculated and forwarded to the controller. Drag & drop, zoom, rotate or scroll via gesture control is possible.
Due to the glass surface, the Capacitive touch foil screens are particularly scratch-resistant and can be cleaned with all cleaning agents – an important advantage in hygienically sensitive areas.
With special protective glasses, the touch screens are vandal-proof and can be used in public areas. However, the number of touch points may vary depending on the strength of the protective glass used. PCAP touch screens are perfect for modern True Flat designs, as known from smartphones or tablet PCs, and thus ensure an appealing device design. We can offer the capacitive touch foil touchscreens also optically bonded as a unit with a protective glass and / or a TFT display.
Capacitive touch foil is a cutting-edge technology that has transformed interactive displays with its versatility and advanced capabilities. This innovative material is a thin, transparent film that can be applied to any non-conductive surface, turning it into a touch-sensitive interface. Here are some key features, applications, and advantages of capacitive touch foil:
Key Features:
- High Sensitivity: Capacitive touch foils are highly responsive to touch, even a light tap is enough to register an input.
- Multi-Touch: They support multi-touch gestures like pinch, zoom, and swipe, enhancing user interaction.
- Durability: With no mechanical parts, these foils are durable and less prone to wear and tear.
- Flexibility: The foil can be applied to curved surfaces, allowing for more creative display designs.
Applications:
- Automotive: In vehicles, capacitive touch foils are used for sleek, button-free control panels.
- Retail: They can transform shop windows into interactive displays, engaging passersby even when the store is closed.
- Home Appliances: Modern appliances use touch foils for a clean aesthetic and ease of cleaning.
- Public Displays: Information kiosks, museum exhibits, and educational displays often incorporate touch foils for interactive experiences.
Advantages:
- Intuitive Operation: Touch foils make displays more intuitive, eliminating the need for a mouse or keyboard.
- Hygienic: The surface is easy to clean, which is particularly beneficial in medical settings or public spaces where hygiene is paramount.
- Visual Quality: They offer superior visual quality and are resistant to surface contaminants like dust and liquids.
- Cost-Effective: Capacitive touch foils are cheaper to manufacture at scale compared to traditional touch screens.
In conclusion, capacitive touch foil technology is an asset in various industries, offering a blend of durability, flexibility, and user-friendliness. Its ability to convert ordinary surfaces into interactive experiences opens up a world of possibilities for innovation and design. Whether it’s enhancing the consumer experience in retail, streamlining controls in automotive design, or facilitating interactive learning, capacitive touch foils are paving the way for the future of touch technology.
