Why is touch THE perfect input device?

In the past, touchscreens were an exotic, expensive interface for high-tech applications like air traffic control
and controlling nuclear power plants. Not anymore! Companies across a broad spectrum of industries have
successfully harnessed the power of touch for a wide variety of applications. Yet, the essential benefits pro-
vided by touch technology remain unchanged.

Fast, faster, fastest


Touchscreens provide fast access to any and all types of digital media, with no text-bound interface getting in the way. It
takes time for the user to grab a mouse or use a keyboard or trackball and coordinate it with what needs to be activated
on the display. Faster input can mean better customer service in restaurants, hotels, movie theatres, and retail stores. In
other cases, such as in-vehicle control or security equipment, being one second faster could make all the difference.

Touch makes everybody an expert


Everyone intuitively reaches out for what he wants. Using touch is just as simple: you just point at what you want.
Although some people still shy away from computer keyboards and mice, there is no hesitation when they can just
touch a screen. Your target users will feel comfortable that they cannot “do anything bad” and will instinctively under-
stand how to use the interface, reducing or eliminating training requirements. Whether it’s a person consulting a kiosk,
a worker controlling an industrial process, a nurse entering a patient’s information or a waiter entering the order,
touchscreen systems make everyone an “expert user” from the first touch.

Compact and handy


Space is valuable, so you want to use it as efficiently as possible. Touchmonitors ensure that no space - on the desk-
top or elsewhere - is wasted, as the input device is completely integrated into the display. Flat LCD touchmonitors help
save even more space. And perhaps best of all, there are no wires in front of the monitor to get tangled, damaged or
gather dust.

Durable and easy to clean


A touchscreen is made out of glass or a similar hard-coated surface. So it’s easy to clean and therefore extremely well
suited for the typical environments found in restaurants, hospitals, and the food and pharmaceutical industries. All of
Elo’s technologies can be used with gloves, which is great for applications where hygiene is particularly important or
where temperature or workplace safety rules require the use of gloves. Moreover, we offer touchscreen systems that
are not affected by dirt, dust, grease, or liquids. They are even rugged enough to stand up to harsh environments where
keyboards and mice often get damaged.

When ease of use is required


Touchscreen-based systems virtually eliminate errors because users select from clearly defined menus. The information
on the screen at one time is limited in number and options, thus providing step-by-step, fail-safe sequences to guide
the user through complex procedures. This greatly simplifies medical diagnostics applications, for example, where
voluminous databases need to be accessed quickly and easily. Touchscreens are also useful in simplifying process con-
trol applications involving a large number of buttons or switches, and for applications where system contents require
protection from unauthorized entry. In the retail environment, touch-based POS systems improve the returns and refunds
process by cutting down the time it takes a customer to return merchandise, and improve loss-prevention management.
Touch is such a naturally easy interface to use, it effectively reduces training time, thus keeping costs down.

IntelliTouch surface wave touchscreens,
the brilliant choice for public-access applications

How you and your customers will benefit from IntelliTouch


When you need to deliver the brightest, clearest image, take a look at IntelliTouch - the intelligent touchscreen. As a
solid-glass touchscreen with no metallic coatings or plastic films, IntelliTouch just doesn't wear out and even works
when scratched. With nothing but clear glass between you and the image, you get the truest image quality possible
with a touchscreen overlay.

- Pure-glass touchscreen for superior image clarity, brightness, and light transmission
- Durable, scratch-resistant glass surface
- Even works with static water droplets and deep scratches on the screen
- Stable, “drift-free” operation - for touch response that's always accurate, even in electronically noisy environments
- Touch response is faster than human perception
- Smart touch response - no false touches
- Also works with gloved hands or a soft stylus
- Flat, spherical and cylindrical touchscreen options for design flexibility
- Available with anti-glare glass

How it works
The IntelliTouch touchscreen is a glass overlay with transmitting Transducer Transducers
and receiving piezoelectric transducers for both the X and Y-axes.
The touchscreen controller sends a five-megahertz electrical sig-
nal to the transmitting transducer, which converts the signal into
ultrasonic waves on the surface of the glass. These waves are
directed across the front surface of the touchscreen by an array of
reflectors. Reflectors on the opposite side gather and direct the
waves to the receiving transducer, which reconverts them into an
electrical signal - a digital map of the touchscreen surface. When
you touch the screen, a portion of the wave traveling across it is
absorbed. The received signal is then compared to the stored dig-
Transducer
ital map. The change is recognized, and a coordinate is calculated.
This process happens independently for both the X and Y-axes. Reflectors on
By measuring the amount of the signal that is absorbed, a Z-axis each axis divert
the ultrasonic
is also determined. The digitized coordinates are transmitted to burst across the
touchscreen
the computer for processing.

How it works Insulating


spacer dots
Formed to fit the shape of a display, the AccuTouch glass
panel has a coating of uniform resistivity. A polyester
cover sheet is tightly suspended over the top of the glass, +5 volts
separated from it by small, transparent insulating dots.
The cover sheet has a hard, durable coating on the outer
side and a conductive coating on the inner side. With a
light touch, the conductive coating makes electrical con-

Y-voltage
tact with the coating on the glass. The AccuTouch con-
troller circuit applies a voltage gradient across the resis-
Ry
tive surface of the glass. The voltages at the point of con-
tact are the analog representation of the position touched.
The controller digitizes these voltages and transmits them
X-voltage
to the computer for processing.

Elo Entuitive,
exceptional, “designed for touch” monitors

Buying an Elo Entuitive touchmonitor is the surest, fastest way to get your touchscreen application up and run-
ning and make sure it stays that way for a long time. Because standard desktop monitor models change fre-
quently - and are seldom designed with touch in mind - it’s difficult for typical providers of touchmonitors, based
on standard desktop displays, to ensure reliability under the heavy usage experienced by the most successful
touch-based systems. Elo's Entuitive line of touchmonitors gives you the advantage of over twenty-five years
of experience in touchmonitor integration. We continuously listen to our customers’ demands for better touch
solutions, and we’ve implemented these needs into our newest line of touchmonitors - which can truly be
called, “designed for touch.” In the new Entuitive line, Elo has applied its extensive knowledge of touch tech-
nologies, CRTs, and LCDs to the design and manufacture of consistently high-quality, reliable touchmonitors
with full agency approvals and Elo’s renowned service and support.

You shop once


Elo Entuitive touchmonitors allow you to source a complete touch hardware solution from one vendor, rather than three
(touchscreen kit, monitor, integration service). So Elo Entuitive touchmonitors save you both time and a potentially high
investment in monitor integration (capital equipment, supplies, facilities, expertise, and personnel).

You get a touchmonitor designed for touch


Not all touchmonitors are created alike. Elo sets monitor specifications that enable the production of high-quality, low-
cost monitors that are optimized for touch. Elo can also provide custom modification, incorporating a variety of cabling,
sealing, packaging, and other options, so your touchmonitor is perfectly suited to your application.

Off-the-shelf touchmonitors get you up and running quickly


Elo and its distribution partners are able to offer you touchmonitors that are ready to use, right out of the box. Elo’s
Entuitive touchmonitors for kiosk and industrial applications have fixed outside dimensions. Elo will maintain the
model design of its metal case touchmonitors much longer than the average plastic-case monitor manufacturer, reduc-
ing the need to redesign your application around a monitor component change.

You avoid safety risks to yourself, or your monitor


Everyone knows to avoid electrical shock from high-voltage components inside the monitor, but did you know that it’s
possible to shorten the life of your monitor if the power for the touch controller is improperly installed ? Or that if a
touchscreen is poorly sealed to the monitor interface, it will allow dust to degrade the optics of your touchscreen? With
an Elo Entuitive touchmonitor you get assurance and quality that lasts.

Elo provides ruggedized packaging


To ensure that the touchmonitor makes it to you - and on to your customer - Elo takes special care in securing touch
components inside the monitor and using packaging that withstands all industry standard drop tests.

You have all the information


Elo Entuitive touchmonitors ship with an Elo TouchTools CD, which contains drivers for all popular operating systems,
technical manuals, and diagnostic software. Drivers, technical information, and product specs are also available 24
hours a day on our website www.elotouch.com.

LCD or CRT?
Which display type is right for your application?

Once you’ve decided to enhance your application with touch and have selected a touch technology - five-wire
resistive, surface wave or infrared - you should compare characteristics of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and
cathode ray tubes (CRTs) to determine which display type best suits your application and environment.
Comparing display types on the following criteria can help you make the best choice for your application.

Display life
All displays slowly decline in performance from their new condition by gradually losing brightness. This decline is
measured as the period of time required for the display to drop to 50 percent of its original brightness. Displays in
touch applications often operate around the clock because many are in public-access settings.

- LCDs: the average expected life of a LCD backlight is 30,000 to 50,000 hours. This represents three to four years of
use for a display operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The backlight of a LCD can be replaced economically,
prolonging the life of the display.
- CRTs: the average expected life of a CRT is 12,000 to 15,000 hours. This represents one and a half to two years of use
for a display operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is rarely economical to replace the tube within a CRT.

Footprint, appearance and weight


With its flat screen and slim footprint, a LCD takes up less space than a CRT. In fact, a 15-inch LCD monitor fits into
about 40 percent of the space occupied by a 17-inch CRT, yet has approximately the same viewable area. In addition,
LCDs can be mounted on a wall or on special arms to save desktop space and can fit into smaller available spaces
inside industrial equipment.

The futuristic look of LCDs increases their appeal for customers who want to associate their company or application
with leading-edge technology. In addition, LCDs weigh much less than comparable CRTs, which can be a consideration
for displays mounted on mechanical arms in settings such as hospitals, or when shipping kiosks that use LCDs.

Image quality
- LCDs are approximately twice as bright as CRTs, which makes them the right choice for environments with high ambi-
ent-light levels and for applications, such as public access kiosks, where a brighter display attracts attention and
invites usage. LCDs also deliver a flicker-free image.
- CRTs are the right choice for ultra-high-resolution applications, such as medical imaging. In addition, because the
viewing angle of a CRT is greater than that of a LCD, CRTs are preferable for an application where multiple viewers
will be looking at a display from different angles. An example is a public access kiosk used by children and adults or
by a group of people at one time. CRTs are also ideal for displaying full-motion videos.

Power consumption and heat generation


LCDs consume up to one-third less power than the same-sized CRT monitors, and thus generate less heat than CRTs.
This saves money and makes LCDs the right choice for installation in industrial equipment and other applications
where displays in confined spaces would otherwise require special HVAC equipment (and expense).

16
Desktop or built-in,
the criteria for choosing a kiosk form factor

In the interactive public-access environment, Elo is the touchmonitor manufacturer of choice. But should that
choice of kiosk be a freestanding enclosure or a desktop interactive display? Elo offers solutions for both. Elo’s
line of touchmonitors and touchcomputers includes CRT (cathode ray tube) or LCD (liquid crystal display) dis-
plays in a range of sizes and enclosures for desktop or enclosure use. A touchcomputer is an “all-in-one”
touchscreen display and high-powered computer.

Desktop interactive displays - the new flexible kiosk


Desktop interactive displays are perfect for a wide range of applications where cost, mobility, and flexibility are top
criteria. Some typical applications include:
- Desktop interactive catalog for e-commerce
- Sales tool for staff
- Video/audio preview of CDs and videos
- Self-service station
- Brand-driven multimedia promotions
- Frequent shopper/affinity programs
- Surveys and market research

Mobility, security, and space


A freestanding enclosure is ideal for unsupervised public use, providing all the benefits of the application while ensur-
ing security of the equipment. Freestanding enclosures are usually fixed and occupy a dedicated amount of floor space.
They lack the mobility of the more compact, space-saving desktop interactive displays. Desktop interactive displays
can fit into 25 - 50% of the footprint of a freestanding enclosure and can easily be moved around to meet changes in
floor space layout. They come packaged in different form factors designed to be placed on existing retail display fix-
tures such as shelving, countertops, a customer service desk, or aisle end cap displays, or incorporated into other prod-
uct merchandising displays to expand interactive opportunities. Desktop interactive displays are limited to areas that
are at least semi-supervised, while a freestanding kiosk can be left unattended to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week as an information or selling tool.

Branding and cost


The fixed nature and size of a freestanding enclosure provides the opportunity to use kiosk graphics and design to
incorporate and customize product/company branding. Both the freestanding enclosure and the desktop interactive
display assist in attracting customers and aiding sales. Depending upon the application, a desktop display can be as
little as one-third the cost of its sturdier, more secure, and more resilient counterpart.

Advantages of freestanding enclosures


- Unattended, secure operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Durable and resistant to abuse
- Branding can be reinforced by kiosk design and graphics
- Accepts peripherals such as bar code scanner, credit card reader, or telephone

Elo has an outstanding set of Kiosk Partners who provide freestanding enclosures (see p.22). Elo offers touchmoni-
tors that are designed specifically for kiosk enclosures.
