Touch Sensors & Controllers
Touch Sensors and Controllers come as various types. The sensors can be broken down into three primary types which may be used in different applications depending upon the environment and nature of use. These are Resistive, Capacitive and Surface Acoustic Wave(SAW). Take a look at our technology comparison chart If you are looking for Open Frame Touch Monitors Click here

Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) - Excellent optical properties, can be used with soft gloves and soft-tipped stylus. We are proud to announce our relationship with ETWOTOUCH who are leading the way on price/performance for SAW touch products. For more details on ETWO or for a product list


Resistive - Low cost, 4 & 5 wire, can be used with gloves. They are susceptible to damage from sharp objects and vary in life expectancy from a few million touches to 100M+ touches.

Capacitive - Several types of capacitive sensors are now emerging on the market, products such as near field and dispersive sensors allow more flexibility in integrating to public environments. They can be easy to seal but cannot be used with gloves in most situations.

Infra Red (Ir) - Infra Red touch sensors have advantages over other technologies in that they do not require any force to activate hence user can use most objects, hand, stylus, pen, finger or gloved finger. Displaze offer the Carrol Touch range of IR touch sensors and controllers. These are now part of ELO Touch Systems. For further details please email: sales

Projected Capacitive - used for kiosk and through window applications requiring thick glass in front of the display for protection, environmental or otherwise. Ideal where total seal is required around display.

Controllers - Egalax are one of the most innovative touch controller companies on the market providing comprehensive support for Serial, USB & PS/2 hardware interfaces on main different operating systems.

Since there are a wide range of touch sensor and controller products available please contact us by phone or email to discuss which is the most suitable to your requirements as cost, functionality and reliability may vary wildly.
