Glass/glass touch panel by Kyocera now available up to 19 inches

Thanks to its special construction, the touch-sensitive glass/glass touch panel LCD series from Kyocera offers improved readability and greater reliability than the film/glass structure of conventional LCD touch panel combinations. In this series both the main body side and the operating side are made of glass. The displays with touch panel are available with immediate effect and are supplied in the ranging from 3.5 to 19 inches.

Use of the highly transparent glass substrate reduces the scattering of incident light rays and achieves a clear view of the display without any distortion. For outdoor applications, the LCD polarization film can be attached to the touch panel. This option reduces internal reflection between substrate and LCD, thus facilitating readability in direct sunlight.

The use of glass on both sides guarantees enhanced durability and hermetically seals the touch panel as well. As a result, the touch panel is ideally protected against condensation – even in areas subject to high humidity. Extreme temperatures do not pose any problems for the glass/glass touch panel series from Kyocera: storage temperatures range from -40 °C to +95 °C and operating temperatures from –30 °C to +85 °C.

The glass/glass touch panel can be adapted to individual requirements. Regardless of the size of the touch panel, users can thus choose from thicknesses for the main body side of 0.7 mm, 1.1 mm and 1.8 mm, while the glass plate on the operating side always has a thickness of 0.2 millimetres. Diagonals of 3.5 to 19 inches cater for applications in a very wide range of fields. Consequently, it is possible to put together a perfectly matching system for any application.

Kyocera principally sells its products for industrial applications such as automation processes, measuring instruments and medical devices and offers its customers long availability of these products.
