MATRIX SCREENS

Matrix Touch Screens provide touch screen flexibility with membrane switch simplicity. Similar to resistive designs, they consist of ITO-coated top and bottom layers. The layers are separated by some of the industry’s smallest spacer dots. The ITO coating forms rows on one layer and columns on the other. When an area is touched, the conductive coating on the top layer completes an electrical contact against the coating on the bottom layer, similar to a standard switch. These touch areas can be custom designed to meet specific layout requirements.

Matrix touch screens are low-cost, reliable solutions that do not require a controller, driver or calibration. They are recommended for toys, calculators, e-books, chessboards and other electronics that have fixed key inputs.
