Zytronic has announced that touchscreens based on its projected capacitive technology (PCT) are in use in the FT range of rugged panel PCs from APC Technology. The South Australian company has used the moisture and dirt resistant properties of Zytronic’s ZYBRID® touch sensors to provide high reliability and levels of display clarity, with resistance to a wide range of contaminants in weather conditions ranging from bright sunlight to heavy rain.
Zytronic’s ZYBRID touch sensors use an array of microfine capacitors embedded within a front faced glass and plastic laminated overlay. Because the array is embedded below the sensing surface, it is well protected from accidental or deliberate damage, dirt, dust, contaminants and moisture.
