New 42-inch multi-touch display deals with up to 10 touch points at one time

Display Solutions has extended its DisplayTouch line with the introduction of a new 42-inch multi-touch display. Allowing up to 10 touch points at one time, the displays integrate innovative Planar Scatter Detection (PSD) technology that works with gloved hands. Ideal for indoor and outdoor applications, within the correct enclosure, the DT-S42FD is suitable for gaming, information, retail and educational applications requiring up to 10 point touch. The DT-S42FD features 920 x 1080 full HD resolution, with a bezel free front. The PSD technology uses advanced opto-mechanics and signal processing to offer an optical in-glass technology requiring no ITO - unlike other touchscreen technologies, such as P-CAP, lines are not visible to the user on the front of the screen providing a perceivably clearer image. In addition, the touch technology is insensitive to EMI/RFI. “Through using PSD technology, the DT-S42FD offers better picture quality than other similar multi-touch displays currently available on the market,” begins Brendan O’Reilly, account manager, Display Solutions. “This innovative technology is an exciting product to bring to our DisplayTouch range, and with interest already received from system integrators, we are looking forward to seeing the DT-S42FD used across a wide variety of industries.” Compatible with Windows 8, the DDC output connection enables system integrators to plug in a board, and a complementary OCS device allows for the screen to be used as a PC. RoHS compliant, the screen also carries CE, FCC-A, UL and CUL safety approvals, says the company.
