At the core of the new 3M multi-touch displays and systems offering is
the proprietary design of the ultrafine metal mesh touch system
conductor – a step change in sensor optical performance, responsiveness
and durability. When paired with 3M Multi-Touch Controller PX5000, this
touch system has the speed and responsiveness necessary for today’s
digital signage and collaboration applications. The technology was
developed by leveraging 3M science through the use of advanced optical
modeling and capacitive sensing techniques during the company’s 30 years
of service to the display and touch industry.
“Consumers want exciting digital interfaces with more natural
multi-touch interaction,” said Scott Hagermoser, global business
manager, 3M Touch Systems. “Our new multi-touch displays offer systems
integrators and value added resellers a fully-integrated, fast, accurate
and interactive multi-touch display that helps make digital signage come
alive like never before.”
The new, ultrafine metal mesh touch system conductor design technology
will be available on the company’s display products, ranging from 32- to
65-inches. This new technology breaks through previous technology
barriers by maintaining high image quality and multi-touch
responsiveness, and minimizing many known problems in other metal mesh
PCAP systems, such as moiré and sparkle. The displays are durable enough
for harsh commercial environments and 24/7 public use.

metal mesh design; Highly tuned, multi-touch functionality that
