| Touch Sensors & Controllers | |
Touch Sensors and Controllers come as various types. The sensors can be broken down into three primary types which may be used in different applications depending upon the environment and nature of use. These are Resistive, Capacitive and Surface Acoustic Wave(SAW). Take a look at our technology comparison chart If you are looking for Open Frame Touch Monitors Click here |

| Multi-User Touch - This is the latest innovation in touch technology and allows up to 8 users to be interative with the same screen. Take a look at this demo video illustraing the amazing potential of this technology which uses Projective Capacitive touch sensors. For further details please email: sales | ![]() |
| "gesture" touch - You've seen it on the "itouch" now build it in to your own systems using the EETI touch controllers with multiple gestures embedded within the controller firmware. This is available both on IR, Surface Capacitive and SAW sensors from EETI. For further details please email: sales | ![]() |
| Controllers - eGalax are one of the most innovative touch controller companies on the market providing comprehensive support for Serial, USB & PS/2 hardware interfaces on main different operating systems. For further details please email: sales | |
| Resistive - Low cost, 4 & 5 wire, can be used with gloves. They are susceptible to damage from sharp objects and vary in life expectancy from a few million touches to 100M+ touches. For further details please email: sales | ![]() |
| Infra Red (Ir) - Infra Red touch sensors have advantages over other technologies in that they do not require any force to activate hence user can use most objects, hand, stylus, pen, finger or gloved finger. Displaze offer a range of IR touch sensors and controllers. For further details please email: sales | ![]() |
| Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) - Excellent optical properties, can be used with soft gloves and soft-tipped stylus. We are proud to announce our relationship with ETWOTOUCH who are leading the way on price/performance for SAW touch products. For more details on ETWO or for a product list |

| Capacitive - Several types of capacitive sensors are now emerging on the market, products such as near field and dispersive sensors allow more flexibility in integrating to public environments. They can be easy to seal but cannot be used with gloves in most situations. | ![]() |
| Projected Capacitive - used for kiosk and through window applications requiring thick glass in front of the display for protection, environmental or otherwise. Ideal where total seal is required around display. | |
| Since there are a wide range of touch sensor and controller products available please contact us by phone or email to discuss which is the most suitable to your requirements as cost, functionality and reliability may vary wildly. | |
