Press Release Body = Global Display Solutions (GDS), market leader
in the design and
manufacture of industrial, digital displays, announces the launch
of its new,
innovative touchscreen LCD display. This display is a key product
in GDS’s
e-Signage™ range and is the result of a collaboration with
NextWindow Ltd., designer
and developer of optical imaging technologies in the field of touch
recognition.
GDS’s touchscreen display provides endless promotion, information
and
brand-awareness opportunities for various industries including retail,
banking,
travel and leisure.
GDS’s new touchscreen display has integrated optical imaging
technology which
enables the user to interact with the display by touch. The technology
is unique as
it recognises where the user places their finger on the screen by
utilizing an infra-red illuminated frame and custom line-scan cameras to determine
touchpoint.
The touch can be registered up to 1mm before physical contact on
the screen’s
surface.
This new touchscreen LCD Display is far superior to similar products
on the market
as the absence of an overlay ensures that there is no on-screen
degradation,
guaranteeing a high visibility display. Also, any object and not
just a finger can
create ‘the touch’; even the off-screen area can be
touch-enabled; and the display
is not susceptible to scratching. This creates a robust solution
for even the most
challenging environments.
Ian Hudson, Sales and Marketing Director of GDS says, “This
new touchscreen display
is totally unique in the touchscreen marketplace, which is forecast
to represent
$2.4 billion by 2005. Unlike displays with a touchscreen overlay,
this new GDS and
Nextwindow touchscreen display will not degrade, making it higher
performance and
more cost-effective than its competitors.”
GDS is a world-leading manufacturer of industrial display solutions
for a number of
industries worldwide including kiosks, retail, advertising, entertainment,
banking,
marine, process and transport. For further information on GDS’s
