GENERALTOUCH announced the release of True Flat SAW Touch Technology

Feb. 23, 2012 - PRLog -- Continuous Innovation

    GENERALTOUCH is a global leader of touch products and solutions provider, and possesses more than 40 international and domestic patents when SAW touch technology is concerned.SAW touch has been proven to be one of the most reliable touch technologies due to its stable performance, durability, cost-effectiveness, etc.  SAW touch is widely used all over the globe in various fields such as financial, transportation, entertainment, self-service, etc.  A SAW touch screen consists of glass baseplate, transducers, reflector stripes and data cable, and is able to reorganize the touch position according to the attenuation sequence chart of the acoustic waves on the screen surface.  In traditional SAW, the reflecting stripes and transducers are placed on the topside of the glass baseplate, and therefore it is impossible to make the SAW touch screen to be truly flat.  End-users, system integrators and ODMs have been requesting for improvement in SAW touch screen integration and appearance.  GENERALTOUCH has continually invest in R&D of the SAW touch technology in order to achieve our mission of “meeting the requirements of customers”. After tackling and overcoming a series of technical challenges, GENERALTOUCH successfully developed the true flat SAW touch screen.  From here on, we can offer touch solutions with fine appearance, and ease of integration and maintenance for global users.  

True Flat SAW Touch Technology

    GENERALTOUCH, after doing some in-depth research and exploring further the core technology of SAW touch, made a series of modification to the structure and design of the SAW touch screen.  The transducers and data cable are placed on the posterior of the glass baseplate.  The acoustic waves from the emitting transducer pass over the edge of the glass and brood over the anterior glass surface.  The acoustic waves proceed to pass over the opposite edge of the glass baseplate and to the corresponding receiver transducer on the posterior.  This technical feat brings about the fruition of the true flat touch screen.  Further redesigning was done to the surface of the glass baseplate to enhance the aesthetics and scratch-resistance of our true flat touch screen.  Consequently, we have a true flat SAW touch screen that is characterized by high reliability, superb performance, ease of integration and eye-catching ID design.  Compared to projective capacitive, it is much more cost-effective.  Combined with GENERALTOUCH existing multi-touch and sensitive SAW touch technologies, you will have an improved and refined multi-touch SAW touch technology with hand-writing input function in true flat SAW touch screen. Besides the popular applications in industries such as finance, gaming, transportation, entertainment, self-service, and so on, the true flat SAW touch is especially suitable for desk top PC, AIO and other consumer applications.  It not only let end-users peaceably enjoy a stable and reliable touch experience but also proudly possess a beautiful and fashionable piece of electronic gadget.  GENERALTOUCH will deliver the true flat SAW touch products to integrators, ODM and OEM in early 2012.

About the SAW Technology

The Surface Acoustic Wave technology is a kind of touch technology based on acoustic waves on a glass surface. The SAW touch screen consists of the control card, transducers and a pure glass panel.   A ‘touch’ is registered when the waves are disturbed while the controller calculates and pinpoints the location of the disturbance.  Compared with other touch technologies, the SAW technology has high reliability, absence of drift, durability, high precision, unhindered light transmittance, and so on. As a touch technology, it is ideal for application in the financial, gaming, entertainment, medical, self-service equipment industries, etc.
