  1. MicroTouch™ ClearTek™ II Capacitive Touch Screens Presenter Name

  2. The MicroTouch™Difference MicroTouch™ ClearTek™ II is the touch screen technology of choice for unattended, public access applications requiring high levels of durability, reliability and performance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  3. MicroTouch™ ClearTek™ II Touch Screens • Popular Applications • Point of Sale • Bar Top Entertainment • Industrial Controls • Casino Gaming • Self-Service Kiosks • ATMs

  4. MicroTouch™ ClearTek™ II System Components • ClearTek™ II Capacitive Touch Screen • All glass touch screen overlay • Flat touch screens: 6.4" to 32" diagonal • EX II Controller Electronics • Cased and uncased board solutions • USB and Serial RS-232 interfaces • Chipset • MicroTouch™ Software Suite • MT 7 Software Driver support for most popular operating systems • System utilities and diagnostics • Factory qualified and validated as a touch system • Factory linearized • Warranted performance One point of contact for all your touch needs, including worldwide support

  5. Proprietary Scratch-Resistant Top Coat ClearTek Hard Coat with Anti-Glare Electrode Pattern Conductive Coating Glass ClearTek™ II 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

  6. How ClearTek™ II Works 1 Small amount of voltage is applied to the four corners of the touch screen. 3The x,y location of the point of contact is calculated by the EX II controller and transmitted to the PC. 2A finger touches the screen and draws a minute amount of current to the point of contact. 4EX II Electronics provide tailored firmware and fast, accurate touch.

  7. ClearTek™ II Advantages • Brilliant Optics • Excellent Accuracy • Smooth Drag Performance • Scratch Resistance • Superior Wear Resistance • Contaminant Resistance • Easy to Clean • Easy to Integrate • Sealable • Designed for use with EX II Electronics

  8. ClearTek™ II: Brilliant Optics • Brilliant Optics • Superior optical quality at 91.5% light transmission with glare control incorporated for bright, vibrant images • There isn’t an LCD touch screen in the industry today with higher light transmission than ClearTek II

  9. ClearTek™ II: Excellent Accuracy • Brilliant Optics • Excellent Accuracy • 3M performs a 25-point linearization process with factory-precision equipment to enhance the accuracy of the touch screen • No manual linearization required • ClearTek II touch screen with EX II controller is the most accurate capacitive touch system available

  10. ClearTek™ II: Smooth Drag Performance • Brilliant Optics • Excellent Accuracy • Smooth Drag Performance • ClearTek II hard coating provides smooth, continuous drag / draw functionality • Continues to track finger, even when paused in one location
