The IntelliTouch Touchscreen
The IntelliTouch surface wave technology touchscreen consists of a glass panel molded to the shape of a display's face. Each axis of the touchscreen panel has a transmitting and receiving piezoelectric transducer, and sets of reflector stripes. See Figure 2.3 on page 10 for details on the construction of an IntelliTouch touchscreen.

Surface wave energy is generated by the transmitting transducers mounted in the corners of the touchscreen. A set of reflector stripes reflects these waves across the active area of the glass and to the receiving transducer which reconverts the surface waves into an electrical signal.
