INTELLITOUCH TECHNOLOGY

Introduction

The IntelliTouch system has three main components: a clear solid glass screen formed to match the shape of a display, a sophisticated electronic controller, and a software driver. The IntelliTouch touchscreen is based on patented surface wave technology. Surface waves are mechanical waves that propagate in the surface of materials such as glass. The touchscreen may be a flat glass panel or a segment of a sphere or cylindrical glass. This panel is installed over the face of the display. Because there are no layers or coatings on the glass as with other technologies, the IntelliTouch touchscreen is extremely durable and allows a clear, sharp image.

IntelliTouch touchscreen features include:

•Excellent image clarity with high light transmission

•Extremely fast and sensitive, with the highest resolution of any touchscreen

•Excellent durability, resistant to deep scratches and abrasion
