The result is a faster, more accurate resistive touchscreen than any competitive product. As the leaders in capacitive technology, we've leveraged our expertise to engineer an innovative, value-added touchscreen solution for those markets where touch versatility is often important. In providing our customers with the market's broadest range of touch solutions, MicroTouch is expanding the options available to the market, providing 'one-stop' shopping, and solidifying its leadership position. For example, workers in manufacturing industries can operate heavy machinery using a touchscreen without removing safety gloves. Medical technicians can use TouchTek Premier in patient-monitoring applications.
Voltage is applied to the topsheet.
As the user presses the screen, the topsheet compresses into contact with the glass sensor, and voltage flows to each of the four corners in proportion to the distance from the edge. Unlike four-wire designs, if the polyester topsheet is damaged, the touchscreen still works flawlessly. TouchTek Premier In Action Already, TouchTek has been rigorously tested by key MicroTouch customers. Both Progressive and Starbucks agreed that the TouchTek resistive touchscreen is the best choice for the Starbucks cafe environment because of its tremendous reliability and cost-effectiveness. We expect to deploy the TouchTek-enabled application in 1,200 stores over the next few months and an additional 800 over the next three years.
