Overview

One module, three touch technologies, full stack control

Touch is not an accessory we bolt on — it is laminated, covered and driven in the same Class 1000 cleanroom as the display itself. From a 0.85" wearable sensor to a 15.6" kiosk panel, we control the sensor, the adhesive, the cover glass and the driver configuration as one engineering unit.

Touch Types

RTP when hands are gloved. PCAP when fingers do the talking.

Resistive RTP senses pressure, so it works with a bare finger, a gloved hand, a stylus or any rigid object — the reason 4-wire and 5-wire RTP still dominate industrial HMI, medical carts and food-service terminals. Capacitive PCAP senses the finger's capacitance change, enabling 5–10 point multi-touch, swipe gestures and the thin, bright glass finish consumers expect on kiosks and appliances.

  • RTP 4-wire — lowest cost, single-touch, pen-compatible; ideal for price-driven industrial panels.
  • RTP 5-wire — more durable and accurate than 4-wire; survives 35M+ touch cycles in POS and medical use.
  • PCAP G+F — thin and light sensor film; suits smaller panels and cost-sensitive consumer builds.
  • PCAP G+G — glass sensor over glass cover; strongest optical quality for 7"–15.6" kiosk and signage.
Comparison

Resistive vs capacitive, decided by the numbers

The right touch technology is a trade of transmittance, durability, cost and input style. This table is the shortlist our engineers use on the first call — pick your rows, then we build the exact stack.

FAQ

Touch integration questions we answer every week

Short answers to the four most common touch questions. Anything else — send your environment and input style and we reply within 48 hours.

Choose RTP (4/5-wire) when operators wear gloves or use a stylus in industrial or medical settings — it works with any object. Choose PCAP when you need 5–10 point multi-touch, high transmittance and a modern glass finish for consumer and kiosk products.
OCA full lamination bonds the touch sensor and cover glass to the panel with optical adhesive, eliminating the air gap. It prevents dust and moisture ingress, raises contrast and durability, and is recommended for outdoor and automotive builds.
Yes. We support the CST816S and mainstream touch IC ecosystems with driver support for Linux, Android and Windows, plus calibration and reference circuits to speed up your firmware bring-up.
