3M Multi-Touch System PCT2000PX
™
The Natural Choice for Next Generation User Interfaces
With more than 25 years of capacitive touch sensing and manufacturing
expertise, 3M has developed a purpose-built multi-touch system
specifically designed for applications that demand high-performance
multi-touch displays ranging from 17 to 32 inches. The 3M Multi-Touch
System PCT2000PX provides customers with a leading-edge solution
that resolves simultaneous multi-touch events while supporting palm
rejection at speeds 167% faster than the 60 Hz refresh rate of most
industrial displays. This innovative multi-touch solution goes beyond twotouch 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 (PCT) solutions beyond common portable device sizes
(3.5 to 11.6 inches). This system has been designed and engineered
specifically for 17 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 highly-scalable, fullywarranted multi-touch system that uses advanced sensing techniques to
address the unique needs of larger display applications.
™
The PCT2000PX system’s non-active, chemically-strengthened cover
glass offers a near wear-free surface that protects the underlying
conductive elements and helps make the touchscreen functionally
impervious to surface scratches. This feature enables leading-edge
industrial design techniques, such as flat front surfaces, that eliminate
bulky bezels required by other touch technologies to protect active
surface touch components. The flat front surface solution eliminates
dust and debris build-up at the edges of the display while at the same
time helps increase system reliability by not having components on the
touchscreen surface that can be damaged or obstructed.
