Industrial touch screens

July 3rd, 2009

touchscreens are highly developed displays that can accurately detect the location of keys on the screen, which allows the screen to be used without a keyboard or other device’ Most times, the LCD touch screens are, which can be attributed to all teams’ They have become very common since the seventies and are very well in retail settings, at ATMs and PDAs as well’ But one of the best known of the touch screen is the game console called the Nintendo DS’

In fact, the design of a system using a touch screen as the operator input means is growing in popularity in all sectors, especially manufacturing’

We began to see touch screens in our lives, but suspect that the LCD industry touch screens are much more used’ As seen from LCD or TFT LCD industry, companies involved in industry are very loving these screens, and many industrial applications require the use of LCD touch screens that can cope with environments, such as heat, even in cold weather or rain’

Besides this, they feel a bit the man-machine interface for industrial equipment that allows the operator responses to be natural and intuitive’ LCD touch screen easy to simplify the task of the engineer or operator and reduce training time for operators, while adding more features to the machine itself’

Today, the touch-screen technology is reliable and robust for use in harsh industrial environments where they could be used safely and can last much longer than normal screens or other displays’ These screens reliable interaction making them ideal for use in many industrial applications’

The room of an office or a warehouse or food processing plant powder applications increasingly sophisticated portable computers, a wide range of industrial LCD touch screens can now be consulted on the market’

The only disadvantage of the touch screen LCD interface is the problem with emphasis on the fingers of men in a touch screen is used a lot’ This problem can be lifted by means of a simple pen, for example, but obviously this is not really possible on touch screens in public kiosks or ATMs, for example’

How does the touch-screen technology Works

July 1st, 2009

The touch-screen technology can be mysterious, if you ever stop to wonder what really makes a screen to recognize your finger, pen or pencil’ As technology advances, touch screens are becoming increasingly popular cars that make the user interface intuitive and more exciting for the new devices of modern technology’ There are three basic systems used in touch screens and recognize its editorial of this article, this technology is gaining ground as a fourth system, as well as others in the scale of development of several products’

The first is resistance to a system that uses a driver of resistance and a sheet metal panel of glass’ The two layers are separated by spacers of electrical currents through the two layers, the screen is lighter’ There is also a scratch protection layer covering the layer of metal to keep the screen easily be destroyed’ When the user touches the screen, the two layers are required to play at this time’ There is a change in the electric field when contact is made and the details of the contact point are fed to a computer that is calculated on the screen and said to turn the operating system that determines what a success in this medium’

The capacitive system is constructed with a layer that has an electric charge in the glass’ When a finger touches the screen, part of the cost goes into the finger’ The decrease of the load is measured in circuits that are usually found in some parts of the screen’ And the relative variation of the load in every corner of the computer can calculate what is the point of contact with the finger that was published some of the costs’

The system of surface acoustic waves using a pair of sensors on the sides of the glass plate’ And reflectors are places in the glass plate to reflect the electrical signal that is sent from the sending of a transducer for receiving a transducer’ When a finger touches the screen, the electrical signal is interrupted and the use of two axes, the computer can calculate the contact area’

Because the sound system should not use a metal plate, which allows 100 percent of the light from the screen through a perfect clarity’ In contrast to the strength of the system that transmits about 75 percent of the light and controls the capability of the system that transmits about 90 per cent to improve the image quality of the resistance of the system

The touch-screen technology – the demise of computer mouse

June 29th, 2009

It is now almost 40 years, but one of the most popular office tools is about to become obsolete, according to analysts’

Invented nearly 40 years by Dr Douglas Engelbart while working for the Stanford Research Institute, millions of mice are in service around the world’

However, thanks to new technologies such as touch screens and facial recognition software, it seems mouse calculate days are accounts of analysts predict that, to be completely obsolete in five years’

In recent years has seen an explosion of new input devices, particularly with the rise of PDAs and mobile phones touch screen, where markets are becoming a method, the number of entry’

The touch-screen technology has been around since the 1970s, although traditionally were expensive and normally only used in industrial applications’

However, recent advances in technology today means the touch screen is relatively cheap and can be found in everything from mobile phones, ATM machines, information points and even microwave ovens’

Is expected to touch screens and other technologies such as gesture, facial recognition systems are quickly becoming the replacement of the mouse’

The main advantage of a touchscreen in the conventional mouse, keyboard and monitor is the screen design that is both input and output devices’ Not only that, but saving space, this means that the equipment can be placed in places where a keyboard and a mouse would be impractical, such as outside or left unattended’

Touch screen technology is also widely used in industrial applications that do not have a keyboard and mouse, which means that pollutants such as grease, dirt and dust can not enter and clog the input devices’ Touch screens can also be places in a shelter that protects you from industrial water, dust and even explosive, which allows a computer to be placed, even in the most inhospitable environments’

Touchscreen technology is changing the way we interact with computers and technology that is placed in areas where computers are located’

Touchscreen

June 27th, 2009

A touch screen is a touch input device that carries out the functions of both the video display unit and input devices (keyboard and mouse)’ Touch screens have been very popular in recent years and can see all of the shopping malls, airports, fast food restaurants, and ATMs’

The touch-screen technology has been around since the 1970s and there are several companies that manufacture equipment with touch screen’ A touch screen to save space and maintenance, making them popular information kiosks’ These touch screen displays, whether in the form of touch screens or add-on panels that are mounted on a monitor screen’

A touch screen has three main components that allow the operation of the touch sensor, the driver and the driver software’ The driver software is the application program that translates the feeling of touching the controls and communicates with the operating system installed on your computer’ The controller is a PC card that connects the touch sensor for the team’ It is a small gadget that translates the information from the sensor into contact with information that is understandable to the PC’

There are several technologies used in the manufacture of touch screen touch’ The screen can build resistance, capacitive or surface wave technology senses’ A resistive touch screen is where a thin metal layer acts as a tough primary sensory layer’ Raises the resistance layer and move the button as an electrical impulse’ However, the touch screen using capacitive capacitive tendency of the human body, due to interference in its own layer and the capacitive touch sense’ Alternatively, the surface wave touch screen, uses ultrasonic waves’ These waves pass over the touch screen’ Some waves are absorbed when the user touches the screen’ This wave of change events contact and location’

Touchscreen technology using the principles of physics, but the touch screen greatly simplifies communication’ With easy to use and attractive interface, a touchscreen is very privileged to games, training and information’

Touch screens are the future of the mobile phone

June 25th, 2009

Since Apple launched the iPhone every conversation has been about its new touch screen’ LG announced one of its iPhone rival, the Prada phone, which also has a touch screen, the user interface’

Let’s face it, the only function that is close to justify application of Apple iPhone is “five years ahead of the competition” is the screen’

It uses a new technology called Multi-Touch, which is not surprising that on the screen, the recognition of more than one point of contact at the time’ This allows a wider range of commands than simply pressing and leave with a single point device such as a mouse or a stylus’ For example, in the iPhone, it will be possible to zoom in and objects such as Web pages or photos by “unpinching” and “pinching” which is out of level or close the two fingers as if stretching or squeezing the image’

The touch screen also allows the use of a virtual QWERTY keyboard on the screen when needed, and hopefully should provide greater comfort to write using a Blackberry QWERTY Dinky little’

Samsung, for its part, must not remain in the race for the touch screen’ They say their new W559 is the first screen to offer “tactile feedback”‘ The VibeTonz system allows the buttons onscreen to feel more like mechanical, making the phone easier to use when the display is clearly visible’ It can also be configured to fly in different ways when receiving messages from different people!

Japanese DoCoMo network are even better’ While launching the D800iDS, a new touch screen mobile device that has more than one step is similar to Nintendo DS, which also unveiled a phone that appeals to the senses in a different way’ Have a relaxing fragrance! The Sony Ericsson SO703i comes with “replaceable scented sheets” to relax the user while making calls, and includes nine different flavors!

It seems that the mobile touch screen are the future, and why the hell not, if this means that manufacturers produce models like the Nokia Aeon’ Unfortunately, it is only a prototype at the moment but there must be a global campaign to bring into production’ This is the best phone I’ve ever seen!
