The Innovative Choice for Next Generation User Interfaces
3M™ Multi-Touch System PCT2000PX
With more than 25 years of capacitive touch sensing and manufacturing
expertise, 3M has developed a purpose-built multi-touch system for
applications that demand high-performance multi-touch functionality for
displays ranging from 15 to 32 inches. The 3M™ Multi-Touch System
PCT2000PX provides customers with a leading-edge solution that
resolves up to 40 simultaneous multi-touch events with palm rejection
at speeds 167% faster than the 60 Hz refresh rate of many industrial
displays. This innovative multi-touch solution goes beyond two-touch
gestures to enable intuitive, easy-to-use natural user interfaces that can
create more engaging user experiences.
The PCT2000PX multi-touch system exemplifies 3M’s strong system
solution focus by combining 3M proprietary touchscreen manufacturing
technology with the patented 3M™ Multi-Touch Controller PX400 to
overcome existing design challenges in scaling projected capacitive
technology (PCAP) solutions beyond common portable device sizes
(3.5 to 11.6 inches). This system has been designed and engineered
specifically for 15 inch to 32 inch displays so OEM’s and integrators
can use its unique feature set without settling for scaled up versions
of mobile handheld electronics and manufacturing processes. With
the PCT2000PX multi-touch system, 3M now offers a wide range of
multi-touch system products that use advanced sensing techniques to
address the unique needs of larger display applications.
The PCT2000PX system’s non-active, chemically-strengthened cover
glass offers a durable surface that protects the underlying conductive
elements while helping make the touchscreen virtually functionally
impervious to surface scratches. This feature enables leading-edge
industrial design techniques, such as flat front surfaces, that eliminate
the need for bulky bezels required by other touch technologies to protect
Benefit
• Touchscreen and electronics tuned for precise, full multi-touch functionality, even at the edges and corners
of the display
• Integrated standard systems offered from a single source ensures full system support and warranty
• Robust system solution tested to work with many display technologies provides integration and design flexibility
• Reports simultaneous multi-touch events while supporting palm rejection at speeds 167% faster than
the 60 Hz refresh rate of many industrial displays
• High signal-to-noise ratio provides input flexibility including thin gloves and fingertips.
• Ultra-high definition touch for smooth draw capability and ability to distinguish multiple fingers in close proximity
• Custom ASIC design offers a standard protocol for any size between 15 and 32 inches and facilitates seamless
application development
• Enables leading edge industrial design solutions with a uniform narrow black border graphics design
• No surface components or bezel requirement limits debris build up which results in increased reliability
• Easy-to-clean, no wear surface provides operation unaffected by surface scratches
• Smooth edge finish for improved durability and handling safety
• Anti-stiction surface allows for “easy drag feel” for smooth touch performance.
• Anti-glare for table-top applications or strong ambient lighting environments.
Recommended Applications
• Gaming and Amusement • Health Care
• Retail POS • Audio Visual
• Point of Information • Digital Signage
• Self Service • Retail Brand Experience
• Telepresence • Industrial
the active surface touch components. In addition to adding sophisticated
industrial design, the flat front surface solution eliminates dust and
debris build-up at the edges of the display and also helps increase overall
system reliability by not having critical components on the touchscreen
surface that can be damaged or obstructed.
