Vehicle Touchscreen Solutions

Rugged PCAP Touchscreens for Commercial, Off-Road, and Specialty Vehicles

 

Modern vehicles rely on touchscreen technology to control critical systems, provide real-time information, and improve operator productivity. Whether installed in heavy-duty trucks, agricultural equipment, construction machinery, emergency vehicles, utility fleets, or specialty vehicles, touchscreen interfaces must perform reliably in demanding environments where consumer-grade displays cannot.

 

UICO designs rugged projected capacitive (PCAP) touchscreen solutions engineered specifically for vehicle applications. Our advanced touch controllers, firmware, and optical technologies deliver dependable performance in extreme temperatures, bright sunlight, wet conditions, vibration, and off-road environments.

 

Engineered for Demanding Vehicle Environments

 

Vehicle operators work in conditions that expose electronics to constant vibration, moisture, dust, mud, and rapidly changing weather. UICO touchscreen solutions are designed to provide accurate touch performance while maintaining long-term reliability in these challenging environments.

​

 

 

Vehicle Challenges We Solve:

 

 

 

​

Thick Glove Operation

Operators frequently wear insulated, leather, or work gloves while driving or operating equipment.UICO touchscreen controllers support reliable touch operation through gloves up to 5 mm thick, allowing operators to safely interact with vehicle controls without removing protective equipment.

​

​​​​​​​​​​Sunlight Readability

Vehicle displays must remain easy to read in direct sunlight.Available technologies include:High-brightness displaysOptical bondingAnti-glare coatingsAnti-reflective coatingsThese enhancements improve visibility while reducing reflections for clear outdoor viewing.

​

Rain, Snow, Dirt, and Mud

Construction, agricultural, military, and utility vehicles operate in environments where moisture and debris are unavoidable.UICO's advanced PCAP firmware helps reject false touches caused by water while maintaining responsive operation in:

Heavy rain

Snow

Mud

Dirt

Condensation

 

Extreme Temperature

PerformanceVehicle electronics must perform year-round in changing climates.UICO touchscreen solutions are engineered for dependable operation from -40°C to +85°C, making them ideal for both arctic and desert operating conditions.

​

Rugged Long-Life Durability

Vehicle displays are subjected to constant vibration, shock, and continuous daily use.UICO touchscreen solutions are engineered for long service life using durable cover glass, robust electronics, and industrial-grade construction designed for demanding mobile applications.
