Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced the launch of 7.0-inch WXGA and 15.0-inch XGA color TFT-LCD modules equipped with projected capacitive touch panels using cover glass of up to five millimeters in thickness. The new modules are designed for industrial application, including measurement system machine tools, construction, agricultural vehicles and factory automation, as well as gas station point-of-sale terminals. Sample sales will begin on October 31 via Mitsubishi Electric offices worldwide.
The new modules will meet the increasing industrial demand for thicker and sturdier cover glass supporting operation by those wearing gloves. Accurate, multi-touch sensing is possible even when the screens are wet. Combining these cutting-edge touch panel capabilities with Mitsubishi Electric's proven TFT-LCD technology, the new models are built to handle a diverse range of applications and installation configurations.
