3M MicroTouch Touch Screens
For most popular large-format touch technologies “touch position” is calculated when a finger interrupts an optical field, infrared light beams or acoustic waves on or above the surface of the touch screen substrate. Relying on these “active” surface properties makes these technologies susceptible to different types of interference or environmental limitations, which makes 3M’s Dispersive Signal Technology (DST) a fundamentally different touch solution for large-format display applications.

The MicroTouch™ DST Touch System, 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 DST Touch 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.
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

Input flexibility from finger or stylus, such as pencil, credit card, fingernail, or almost any pointing stylus

Available for display sizes 32" or greater
