CHAPTER 1
General Information
This chapter includes:
•Introduction
•Product Features

1.1 Introduction
This product, LCD touch monitor, is mainly focused on Kiosk market or
Human Machine Interface (HMI). It is a core module for Kiosk application.
The LCD touch monitor supports direct VGA analog signal inputs, which
make it more compatible and adaptable to connect to computers widely
used in the current market.
The LCD touch monitor just provides a steel open frame so that Kiosk
providers can design their specific IDs to demonstrate their own Kiosk
application. Comparing with traditional CRT monitor, LCD monitor takes
great advantage on module size and weight; Kiosk providers can therefore
make an easier and more flexible design. LCD monitor can also provide
high brightness and contrast to achieve better viewing effect. Based on
market demand, the size of LCD touch monitor is focused on fifteen inches.
As a Kiosk application product, touch screen is always the best choice as a
human machine interface. SAW and Capacitive and Resistive sensor used
in touchscreen can make applied force lighter and thus use easier. In
addition, the SAW 6mm sensor can also provide impact resistant except the
touch function.
