3M™ MicroTouch™ System DST2270DX



The 3M MicroTouch System DST2270DX, based on 3M Dispersive Signal Technology, consists of a chemically-strengthened glass substrate with piezos mounted on each corner, mated to a sophisticated, dedicated controller. The system determines the touch position by pinpointing the source of "bending waves" created by finger or stylus contact within the glass substrate. This process of interpreting bending waves within the glass substrate helps eliminate traditional performance issues related to on-screen contaminants and surface damage, and provides fast, accurate touch attributes.

Product Highlights
  • Fast, accurate repeatable touch
  • Touch operates with static objects or other touches on the screen
  • Touch unaffected by surface contaminants, such as liquids, dirt, dust and grime
  • Excellent light transmission provides vibrant optical characteristics with anti-glare properties
  • Operation unaffected by surface damage
  • Chemically-strengthened glass meets EN/UL 60950 glass breakage specifications
  • Input flexibility from finger or stylus, such as pencil, credit card, finger nail, or similar
  • Available for display sizes 32", 40", 42", 46" and 47"
