Series FT
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
• Expansion of FT Series with more universal options include
wider, larger and narrow frame types
• Construction of film and glass with superior durability and
flexibility
• Choice of input methods: finger or stylus
• Wide range of panel sizes in analog includes 5.7”,
6.5”, 8.4”, 10.4”, 10.6", 12.1”, 15”, 15.6” and 19”
• Anti-Newton Ring (ANR) Technology eliminates many of
the typical visual artifacts for analog types
• Operator can easily direct the device without specialized
technical training or computer knowledge by combining touch
screen to LCD panel, plasma EL or other display
• Touch screens support flexible design, including digital and analog,
in a variety of sizes and relatively low cost
• Anti-glare surface reduces reflection from fluorescent lighting, sunlight, etc.
• Adhesive layer between glass and film has improved durability to withstand diverse
environmental conditions
Touch Screens
• Hard resin coating on film's surface ensures excellent protection against scratches or damage
