Hitachi introduced a new type of touch screen.

Until now, most of the touch displays on the market have not been able to respond to the touch of a finger in a glove. All this is true about capacitive displays, which, in principle, are more common now than resistive displays, those that are still able to respond to pressing with almost any solid object. The disadvantage of resistive displays is their relatively rapid wear and tear, capacitive - some inconvenience of use associated with the inability to poke anything other than a finger into the display. Rather, you can poke something, but the display will not react. But all this may be insignificant in a year or two, since Hitachi has created a new type of touch screen.



Such a display, according to the developers, is able to work with all the stylus, just plastic and wooden objects, and even with gloved fingers you can now force the device to obey. The development of such a display was carried out in the depths of the company for a long time, and the other day a working display prototype was presented to the general public.

In principle, the photo shows the typical display capabilities - this, as already mentioned, is a response to the touch of a plastic stylus, multitouch, gestures. Yes, such a display reacts to multiple simultaneous touches of the display surface.



The developers at Hitachi find their display quite useful, since it can come in handy when the usual touchscreen displays are no good. For example, such displays can be used in a variety of industrial installations, when the operator can work with them in the winter without removing gloves. These displays are fairly accurate, the error when pressed is less than 0.5 millimeter. Plus, a rather wide range of materials can be used as a protective layer for such displays.
