Touch screens from Diamond Coatings

Diamond coatings can provide both capacitive and resistive touch screens, from development to production volumes, and in sizes ranging up to 1m x 1m. The screens can be provided with anti-glare and other finishes as required, and produced on glass or plastic (flexible or rigid).

Capacitive touch screens

Capacitive touch screens have a higher visible transmission (around 90%) than resistive touch screens (around 70%). Using our index matching technology we can make a capacitive touch screen with the same visible transmission as uncoated glass or plastic. The capacitive screens need a chip to drive the screen and Diamond Coatings have good links to the chip manufacturers, enabling us to provide you with a complete package.

Resistive touch screens

Resistive screens enable a completely variable X-Y detection of the touch point (capacitive screens tend to have fixed areas to touch). Diamond Coatings can provide a complete, ready to use, X-Y resistive screen, including all patterning, bonding and connections. We can also offer fully shielded touchscreens.
