Touch-Panels Are Ideal For Mobile Applications

Fujitsu Components America has launched a durable film-film resistive touch-panel series that is ideal for mobile applications such as industrial handheld mobile terminals and computers. The plastic touch-panels are said to be 30-40 per cent lighter than film-glass panels, withstand greater input loads, and have double the life of typical film-film panels. The FID-53X series touch-panels are constructed with a bottom layer of shatterproof polycarbonate plastic that is lightweight and durable.

The addition of a 4H, hard-tap cover film increases the panels' input load by up to 50 per cent (0.1N to 1.5N) without damage from heavy writing pressure or repeated stylus tapping. The FID-53X series' flexible film-film structure allows Fujitsu to customise a panel's shape to the customer's specific application. In addition, logos, icons, numbers or symbols can be directly screen-printed on the plastic plate. Target applications include industrial handheld mobile terminals and computers. To effectively address industrial applications, the panels feature an extended operating range of -30C to 60C and 20-90 per cent humidity.

The panels' construction prevents the generation of parallax and includes Anti-Newton Ring treatment, resulting in good viewability without distortion. Other panel specifications include a minimum input life of one million touches (4.5N), 75-85 per cent transmissivity, and +/- 3 per cent linearity. Optionally, a controller board, a controller IC and a device driver for each interface are also available. The FID-53X series includes panels ranging from 2in to 7in.
