Touchscreen set to cash in on size
Elo TouchSystems reckons its new 32in IntelliTouch surface wave touchscreen is the ideal product to respond to the increasing popularity of large displays with screen sizes of 30in and above
In 1996, the company manufactured and marketed a 33in touchscreen the largest at that time and in 1999 expanded its offering with 40 and 42in models using Elo's CarrollTouch infra-red and IntelliTouch surface wave touch technologies. Since then, Elo has stayed ahead of the curve in this popular market by continuing its innovative approach.

'Elo has always had a secure foothold in this market and, unlike many of our competitors, we have the most suitable technologies in CarrollTouch infra-red and IntelliTouch surface wave to complement these larger screens with a touch interface'.
According to Sigona, many Elo customers believe bigger is better when it comes to getting their message across, and Elo is receiving more and more inquiries for large plasma and flat screens of 30in and above.
'We currently have customers using our 42 and 50in touchscreens to display interactive advertisements, in electronic whiteboards for corporate presentations and in universities and TV studios', confirms Sigona.
'The demand is out there and Elo is well positioned to respond to it'.
'Elo has both the technology and the experience', Sigona explains.
'CarrollTouch scanning infra-red touch technology provides 100% light transmission for superb clarity and can operate in direct sunlight'.
'As a clipon frame, it is also lightweight and very easy to install'.
'IntelliTouch surface wave technology is the leading technology used in public information kiosks and now it's also available in the 32in size'.
'It offers the highest light transmission 92% of any touchscreen overlay, as it is composed of pure glass without any plastic or metallic coatings'.
Sigona adds: 'IntelliTouch also offers 4095 by 4095 touchpoint resolution for smaller touch targets and an extremely fast touch response'.
'With two touch options for large displays, Elo enables the customer to choose the best solution to fit a specific application'.
