What are the Different Applications of Touch Screen Technology
Our Touch Integration Center supports your project from design evaluation to production readiness—recommending the most suitable touch solution for your application with reliable, state-of-the-art touch technology. For outdoor and industrial use, we focus on weather-resistant touch designs to help maintain stable operation under temperature changes, humidity, and challenging environmental conditions.
We also provide firmware (F/W) tuning and parameter optimization based on your use case—such as glove or wet-hand operation, cover glass stack-up, and system noise/EMI conditions—so you can achieve a complete, application-ready touch solution with a consistent user experience.

Core Technology
Touchscreens with PCAP Technology
PCAP (Projected Capacitive) touch is a capacitive sensing technology that enables precise, responsive interaction and true multi-touch capability. By using an X/Y capacitive electrode matrix, the sensor can accurately locate multiple touch points at the same time—supporting multi-finger operation and gestures.
Because PCAP does not require direct contact with the sensor layer itself, the touch sensor can be placed behind an insulating layer, and it can remain functional even under protective films or behind waterproof and protective structures. With a glass top surface commonly used in PCAP designs, it is typically a more durable and robust solution than resistive touch for industrial and outdoor applications.
Sensing Layers
Senses the touch through projected electrical fields and changes in the circuit capacitance to locate the touch events.
Touch Controller Firmware
Controls the features and touch performance of the solution, and often needs to be re-written (tuned) to support application and use case requirements.
Optical Bonding
The elimination of an air gap between the cover glass and the display preventing moisture from entering that could cause fogging on the display's surface.
Water Handling
On certain industrial applications, water can accumulate on top of PCAP touch screens and trigger false touches. To avoid those false touches, the latest PCAP technology features water repellent surface treatments and a firmware algorithm to differentiate an actual touch from water droplets. These new features enable the touch screens to work flawlessly with challenging operating conditions.
Understanding
Multi-touch
Multi-touch technology streamlines workflows by reducing steps and making interaction more intuitive. With gestures such as zoom, scroll, and other natural commands, users can complete common tasks faster and with fewer errors—improving human-machine interaction and overall usability. As the interface becomes easier to learn and quicker to operate, teams can work more efficiently and end users benefit from a smoother experience.
We also offer customizable multi-touch solutions to match different users and environmental conditions. Through firmware (F/W) tuning and parameter optimization, we adapt touch performance to challenges such as glove or wet-hand operation, cover glass stack-up, and system noise/EMI—helping ensure a stable and consistent touch experience in real-world deployments.
