Zytronic, the manufacturer and developer of Projected Capacitive Technology touchscreens, said it will be "raising the bar on interactive digital signage" at this year's ISE in Amsterdam, showing a massive 85-inch 4K touch screen, a new curved multitouch kiosk and demonstrating a new object recognition function for touch tables.

According to Zytronic, its 85-inch 4K monitor will be the most eye-catching feature of its stand at the show. Retailers and other users are increasingly seeking larger and larger screens to create an exciting customer experience, and demand for touch screens of 55 inches diagonal and above is growing very quickly, the company said. Zytronic said it can now create bespoke touchscreens of up to 85 inches diagonal, with 4K resolution, able to detect more than 40 simultaneous touchpoints, and proven in harsh environments.

Also on display at ISE for the first time is the Zytronic curved multitouch kiosk. This proof-of-concept unit features a single edge-to-edge printed, toughened and curved glass multitouch interface combining a 40-inch main screen and a 19-inch, waist-height button deck. Designed to demonstrate the level of customization possible with Zytronic technology, the twin display/single glass surface is managed by two ZXY200 multitouch controllers.

The final touch solution being launched at ISE by Zytronic is a demonstration of object recognition functionality, a development aimed at touch tables in retail applications and based on its Multitouch Projected Capacitive touch technology.

"For many applications, the fact that projected capacitive touch technology ignores non-conductive objects contacting the surface is a definite advantage," said Ian Crosby, sales and marketing director for Zytronic. "However, some retail uses would benefit from the touchscreen recognizing specific objects placed upon its surface — and this is something that we are now able to offer."
