Total touch solution

NLT offers total PCAP solutions, that include the LCD, touch panel and controller board, direct from NLT’s factory. This is important for customers since the PCAP displays are covered by the same factory warranty NLT offers on all of their industrial LCD products. NLT also offers support for drivers and tuning software of touch panel, allowing customers to easily design NLT’s touch panel displays into their end products.

Long-term support same as Industrial LCD

NLT’s PCAP products offer the same long-term support program, high quality and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) benefits as offered for their industrial LCD products.

Various PCAP Options

NLT’s PCAP touch panels offer valuable component and structural options such as bonding, surface treatment, or cover glass. This allows end product designers greater flexibility and more display options depending on the end use of the display.

Recently, the use of touch panel displays with multi-touch functionality is rapidly expanding in consumer applications like smart phones or tablet devices, as well as in industrial and medical applications. The increasing demand for PCAP touch panels continues due to their distinguished image quality, durability, and various construction design possibilities.

NLT Technologies continues to invest and develop new PCAP products and with the addition of the nine new products the PCAP family of products is now comprised of fourteen models in eight sizes. The company will continue to expand their touch panel product lineup as well as develop new applications for the company’s primary markets.

The new LCD modules will be showcased in NLT Technologies’ booth (#East 11-46) at Embedded System Expo, May 8-10, at Tokyo Big Sight in Japan, and also in Renesas Electronics America and NLT Technologies’ booth (#301) at Display Week 2013, May 21-23, at the Vancouver convention center in Canada.

Lineup of the PCAP modules can be found in the separate sheet.
