Elo iTouch Surface Wave Technology
iTouch technology data sheet (113K PDF)
Using surface wave technology as its foundation, Elo has created a breakthrough in touch technology—iTouch. In Elo's new iTouch touch-on-tube technology, surface waves (also known as surface acoustic waves) are directed onto the cathode ray tube (CRT) surface itself for unhindered touch sensing—eliminating any glass overlay on the CRT and delivering the highest quality image possible.
iTouch also provides unmatched durability—a critical feature for the public access environment—because the CRT faceplate is several times stronger than a touchscreen overlay, even a bonded one. Elo's new iTouch technology leaves the original brightness and clarity intact while providing the same, no-drift, stable performance and proven reliability of surface wave technology.
iTouch Benefits
- Touch directly on tube—no touchscreen overlay
- Preserves 100 percent of CRT brightness, clarity, antireflection and color properties
- More durable and safer than even bonded touchscreen overlays
- Same fast, accurate and stable performance as surface wave
