TouchSystems Re-Enters Capacitive Touchscreen Market with Launch of XGT & RGT at Comdex Fall

New capacitive touchscreen line is targeted for kiosk and gaming markets.

Round Rock, Texas � November 12, 2001 � TouchSystems Corporation today officially re-entered the capacitive touchscreen market with the launch of XGT and RGT, at Comdex fall, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Previously, TouchSystems� founders successfully manufactured capacitive products, but sold the business in 1995 to pursue other interests.

TouchSystems has already re-entered and successfully penetrated the analog resistive touchscreen market. Resistive technology, able to accept any kind of input device � finger, pen, or even gloved finger, is used in a wide variety of applications. Applications include everything from consumer products, like PDAs and handhelds, to business applications, like industrial automation, point of sale, and medical devices.

�Although resistive is the most widely used touchscreen technology, we�ve received an overwhelming demand to supply capacitive touchscreens as well�, stated Gary Barrett, founder and CTO of TouchSystems. �There are limited capacitive suppliers, and with the explosive growth of the kiosk market, customers are experiencing problems, not only with rising prices, but with long lead times as well.�

Capacitive technology, because of its intrinsic durability and high light transmission, primarily serves a specific market segment for public access applications, such as kiosk and gaming. Since indoor public access terminals only require bare finger input, are often left unsupervised, and generally are in a less controlled environment, capacitive is favored over resistant technology for these types of applications.

Capacitive technology is naturally resistant to liquids and industrial/household chemicals. So, if a child spills coke on the mall kiosk, it has no adverse effect on the functioning of the touchscreen.

XGT, TouchSystems� standard capactive touchscreen, features superb optics with up to 94% light transmission. RGT is a super-ruggedized touchscreen, featuring laminated glass construction for added durability. Mass production will begin December 2001.
