Designed for touch

The models include the recently launched 19" monitor 1938L, the 2039L (20"), two 22" models: the 2239L and the soon to be released high-performance 2240L, and the largest models 2639L and 3239L, 26" and 32" respectively. Like all Elo touchmonitors, these units are "designed-for-touch", with Elo's proven expertise and reliability built in, instead of touch added later by altering an existing monitor. Because the monitor enclosure is controlled by Elo specifications and tooling, the monitors have a long-lasting product cycle, which is important for continuation through all phases of project roll-outs and for servicing. Furthermore, future generation panels can be phased in without external changes.

 Additional features of Elo monitors are the integrated precision mini-bezel and seal which protects all touchscreen components and provides a watertight seal against spills, the multiple mounting options which add flexibility to installation configurations and the extremely fast and sensitive touch with a drift-free and accurate operation.

Bigger, wider and brighter

The large, bright screens with wide-viewing angles give developers the ability to design applications that captivate the user's attention. Elo TouchSystems open-frame touchmonitors have earned a reputation for high quality and performance, and as a world leader in touch technology and one of the world's largest producers of touchmonitors, Elo has put their extensive know-how and experience behind the design and manufacture of the family of large, wide-aspect touchmonitors.

A Migratory Path

By including a choice of touch technologies within the same form factor, Elo offers long-time users of capacitive touch technology an opportunity to expand their existing supplier base. Elo uses a more linear coating and edge pattern, thereby only needing a two-point calibration sequence and allowing controllers and screens to be intermixable and therefore replaceable individually. It also offers more choices by providing a possible migration path to alternative touch technologies such as IntelliTouch surface wave and Acoustic Pulse Recognition (APR), which offer many advantages, including improved optical characteristics, accuracy and reliability.

As LCDs require a protective overlay, a clear glass overlay such as used for IntelliTouch and APR provide the best possible optics, where capacitive technology must use glass with metallic coatings. IntelliTouch and APR therefore offer superior optics together with an accurate drift-free touch performance.  APR has in addition excellent dragging properties and can be activated by any stylus, hand or fingernail.
