supply touch panels suitable for heavy industrial environment,
computing or the POS world. For mobile phones and PDAs we
can offer panels that are shock resistant with various
thicknesses, which are important factors when designing
mobile applications. Fujitsu also manufactures panels that can
withstand high temperatures, suitable for automotive
applications.
Fujitsu offers all of their resistive touch panel products in
RoHS-compliant versions.

C. This unique technology has been
developed especially for high demanding applications such as heavy industry, or car diagnostics tools. It combines the
advantages of the 5- and 8-wire technologies: the resistance to a higher number of input and compensation of temperature
and aging drift. Even when the top layer would be cut, our 7-wire touch panel still functions. The panels have the same high
optical quality as our 4-wire touch panels, standard sizes are 8.4, 10.4, 12.1, 15 and 17 inch.

standard 4-wire products including an anti-scratch hard top coating with an anti-glare finish avoiding mirror effect. To solve
the problem of sunlight decreasing legibility, experienced in the automotive applications, Fujitsu developed a linear polarizer
that significantly reduces sunlight reflection.
