Inelco Hunter Limited

Inelco Hunter has expanded its touch panel products with the introduction of a new generation of Fujitsu resistive touch panels, based on an organic conductive polymer.

It is the first practical application for a conductive plastic. The new conductive polymer panel offers 10 times the durability of a conventional resistive touch panel.

“Film on glass” resistive touch panels, found on applications such as PDAs, cash registers, and kiosks are traditionally made with a hard ceramic ITO (Indium, Tin Oxide) film.

The life expectancy of this sort of panel is limited by the weakness of the ITO layer. Fujitsu’s new generation of touch panel replaces the ITO layer with an organic conductive polymer.

This polymer is more flexible and therefore provides a more durable touch surface that extends the operational life of the touch panel, especially in repeated touch applications such as PDAs, mobile phones, tablet PCs or pen-based devices, by supporting 10 times more finger input and 5 times more pen sliding.
