This year, the Finetech organizers, recognizing the importance of touch functionality in modern user interfaces have created the Touch Panel Japan exhibition, a focused section of Finetech that provides a channel for Minatoand Zytronic to present advanced projected capacitive products and discuss applications with customers.

Ultra-tough, drift-free ZYBRID touch sensors provide designers of touchscreen systems with the opportunity toincorporate innovative features such as direct screen-printing of borders and logos to deliver ergonomic andaesthetic advantages – without any compromise on performance. Minato will be showcasing a 22-inchtouchscreen which will illustrate these features.

Visitors to the stand will be able to see how the combination of a smooth, pure glass-fronted, framelessconstruction and screen-printed features allows designers to fulfil modern styling demands and create elegant, smartphone-like touch interfaces, which are already proving to be hugely successful in the digital signage andkiosk industries.

This unique technology comprises an array of microfine conductive tracks which, at 10 micron diameter, arebarely visible on a powered display. These tracks form a capacitive XY sensing array that is encapsulated within a composite construction, the outer layer of which may be ordinary glass, acrylic or polycarbonate.
