Optical Bonding vs Air Gap Displays: Which Is Better for Touchscreens?
When designing industrial or outdoor equipment with an LCD touchscreen, one of the most important design decisions is whether to use an air gap display or an optically bonded display. This decision affects visibility, durability, touch performance, and long-term reliability. What Is an Air Gap Display? An air gap display has a small air space between the LCD and the cover glass or touchscreen sensor. Air gap displays are typically lower cost and easier to manufacture but hav
Sunlight Readable Touchscreens: What OEMs Need to Know
Many industrial and outdoor devices must operate in direct sunlight, where standard displays become difficult or impossible to read. Sunlight readable touchscreens are designed to maintain visibility in bright environments such as construction equipment, agricultural machinery, military vehicles, and outdoor kiosks. Understanding what makes a display sunlight readable helps OEMs design better products for outdoor use. What Is a Sunlight Readable Display? A sunlight readable d
Glove Compatible Touchscreens: How PCAP Works with Gloves
Projected capacitive (PCAP) touchscreens are widely used in industrial, medical, and outdoor equipment, but many applications require operation while wearing gloves. From factory environments to military systems and medical devices, glove-compatible touchscreens are often essential for safety and usability. Understanding how PCAP touchscreens work with gloves can help OEMs select the right touchscreen configuration for their product. How PCAP Touchscreens Detect Touch PCAP to
