LEADINGTOUCH

Touch panels and user-interface components

About the manufacturer

Leadingtouch Technology Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of touch-interface solutions for displays and operator panels. Its portfolio provides technologies for controlling equipment without a conventional keyboard. In these designs, attention to matching touch sensors to panel construction and operating conditions is particularly important because it affects the complete system, not merely an individual component.

Resistive and capacitive touch panels differ in sensing method, multitouch capability and environmental usability. A touch controller converts sensor signals into coordinates interpreted by the host computer or HMI controller. In a finished product, matching these parts correctly affects functionality, ease of integration and repeatable system operation.

Selection should cover diagonal size, cover-glass thickness, USB/I2C interface, controller type, glove operation, EMC and surface durability. Active-area geometry must also be checked. Exact ratings and permissible conditions should be linked to the selected part number, rather than assumed for an entire family.

Applications

Typical applications for LEADINGTOUCH products include:

• HMI displays
• self-service kiosks
• POS terminals
• industrial instruments
• medical equipment
• automation panels
