Proprietary Scratch-Resistant Top Coat ClearTek Hard Coat with Anti-Glare Electrode Pattern Conductive Coating Glass ClearTek II Touch Screens - Construction • All glass touch screen with transparent, thin-film conductive coating applied to surface • A narrow electrode pattern is printed along the edge of the conductive layer • Transparent glass hard coat with anti-glare properties is fused over the conductive coating • Proprietary scratch-resistant top coat added • Tail design with solder-less connection and taped strain relief
ClearTek II - Tail Design • Tail has 4 corner wires in a copper layer • It also has a conductive shield – top & bottom • This is connected to pin 3 of the controller • This shield protects the 4 corners from EMI interference • Insulation layer protecting the shield layers • The insulating layers protect the shield from shorting out • During integration, ensure no sharp metal edges can do not contact or rub against the outside insulating layers of the tail.

Scratch Resistance – Mohs Scale The Mohs scale of mineral hardness characterizes the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material. It was created in 1812 by the German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs and is one of several definitions of hardness in materials science.
How Does Capacitive Work • Voltage source (V) applied to surface • Amplifiers (A1 – A4) measure current & gain from the corners. • When a touch occurs a new circuit is introduced. • Current is drawn from the touch screen, through the person, to ground. • The Ratios of the current in each corner is used to calculate the position of the touch.
Linearization • Non-linear areas of the touch screen • Raw glass • Conductive coating • Resistance of the border pattern
Linearization Process • Linearization corrects non-linearity of the glass, conductive coating process, electrode pattern process • Linearization compares measured data points to ideal data points. • Comparison generates correction coefficients for X & Y position. • Correction coefficients are stored either in the controller or with the touch screen. • Each touch screen has unique correction coefficients, Novram or mated controllers should not be separated from the touch screen it was paired with.
