Elo introduces new touchscreens

May 21, 2006

MENLO PARK, Calif. — Elo TouchSystems, provider of touch technology and a division of Tyco Electronics Corp., announced two new LCD rear-mount kiosk touchmonitors aimed at OEMs, systems integrators and value-added resellers in the retail kiosk and gaming/amusement markets. The new 1739L 17-inch and 1939L 19-inch LCD rear-mount touchmonitors feature high-quality panels with Elo's all-glass IntelliTouch surface-wave touch technology, packaged in a compact form factor.

Both touchmonitors feature a unique injection-molded minibezel with a watertight seal that makes them ideal for the rigors of public use in retail kiosk or gaming/amusement environments. The touchmonitors complement Elo's existing family of 12.1-inch, 15-inch 17-inch and 19-inch LCD rear-mount touchmonitors.

The 1739L has a viewing angle of 178 degrees by 178 degrees and offers a typical contrast ratio of 1500:1 at 280 cd/m² brightness. The 1939L has a 170 degrees by 170 degrees viewing angle and a contrast ratio of 1000:1 at 250 cd/m² brightness. The pure glass IntelliTouch surface wave touchscreen maintains graphic quality and clarity, reducing the light transmission only slightly ― to 230 cd/m² and 257 cd/m² respectively ― and not altering colors, unlike other technologies.
