Crystal Display Solutions recently launched multitouch large-format displays to its range from 40 to 80 inches equipped with Shadow Sense touch technology. The five new multitouch displays have up to six touch points and are designed for 24/7 use in interactive digital signage installations, the company said on its website.

According to CDS, the ShadowSense technology will set displays apart due to their high performance sensors and capability to be installed in very bright environments. The main application areas of the displays are interactive digital signage solutions for retail, guidance systems or self-service terminals in shopping centers, fast food restaurants, airports and theaters, the company said. In education and business environments the displays can be used as interactive whiteboards to promote active participation in meetings and classrooms, according to CDS.

"Consumers have already placed an increased interest and importance on touch technologies. This has been spurred from smart phones and tablets and is now leading onto interactive whiteboards in meeting rooms and self-service terminals in fast-food restaurants," said Chris Bartram, managing director at U.K.-based Crystal Display Systems. "This will push the touch functionality in the digital display market even further."
