Active Matrix LCD with Integrated Optical Touch Screen

From Planar Systems, Inc.
 

 

A 2.4 in. by 2.4 in. TFT LCD is presented with an embedded 60x60 array of a-Si photo sensors, for use as a high performance touch-enabled LCD with low cost. In the shadow mode the optical touch screen operates with finger or stylus input under ambient lighting conditions from 50 lux to 50 klux.

TFT LCDs with touch screens have become popular in displays for industrial and retail applications, as well as in PDAs and emerging tablet PC products. The majority of touch-enabled AMLCDs are based on resistive, capacitive or inductive touch technology. All these solutions require externally added components or screens, which add cost and reduce optical performance. For example, the most commonly used and currently lowest cost approach is based on resistive touch panels, which reduce display transmittance by about 20 %, increase reflectance and have a limited lifetime.
