Elo TouchSystems Adds iTouch "Touch-on-Tube" Surface Wave Technology to Entuitive
15" and 17" Rear Mount CRT Touchmonitors
Unique iTouch Technology Now Available for Kiosk Applications in Retail Markets.
Elo TouchSystems, Inc., the global leader in touch technology and a unit of Tyco
Electronics Corporation has extended its range of Entuitive brand of kiosk-based
touchmonitors that incorporate the company's unique iTouch "touch-on-tube" surface
wave technology. The new 15" and 17" iTouch-enhanced Entuitive CRT Rear Mount
touchmonitors complement Elo's existing 19" and 21" high-end computer-grade
touchmonitors that already incorporate an iTouch interface. Retail applications will
benefit from the expansion of Elo's iTouch technology because its durability,
breakage resistance and image quality will help improve productivity. The new
iTouch-enhanced Entuitive 15" and 17" touchmonitors will be available at the same
price point as Elo's popular IntelliTouch touchmonitors, making them even more
cost-effective.
Scratch-Resistant, Greater Stability
iTouch "touch-on-tube" technology eliminates the need for a glass overlay by
applying the technology directly on the CRT faceplate. Adding iTouch technology to
Elo's Entuitive 15" and 17" touchmonitors makes them the perfect choice for
kiosk-based applications where durability and breakage resistance are important. The
CRT faceplate is several times stronger than even a bonded touchscreen overlay,
making it less susceptible to breakage or damage by vandalism. An iTouch-enhanced
touchscreen can "reprogram" around scratches and other surface contaminations like
gum, grease and dirt, while retaining the "no-drift", stable performance and proven
reliability of surface wave technology.

According to Scott Smith, Elo's strategic marketing manager, the new iTouch-enhanced
Entuitive touchmonitors are the ideal choice for self-service and kiosk-based
applications, such as point-of information (POI) kiosks, point-of-purchase (POP)
promotions, electronic catalogues, in-store e-commerce, ticketing kiosks.
"The natural reliability, stability and durability inherent in an iTouch-enhanced
touchmonitor means consistent operation with less maintenance. That translates into
more uptime and greater profitability for operators and developers," says Smith. "By
maintaining our existing price-point and providing the very latest touchscreen
technology, these new touchmonitors provide a unique offering that will furnish
kiosk-based application developers and users with a distinct competitive edge."
"Elo is building on its existing success in providing touchscreens for kiosk-based
applications. Our IntelliTouch surface wave technology has proven the most popular
touch technology within this marketplace because it provides the brightest, clearest
and most durable displays that require the least maintenance," says Stephan Herron,
European Marketing Manager for Elo TouchSystems. "iTouch �touch-on-tube' technology
builds on the success of IntelliTouch by eliminating the glass overlay and placing
the touchscreen directly on the CRT surface. This not only improves light
transmission to 100 percent and significantly increases colour purity and graphic
quality, but also takes advantage of the CRT's natural resilience and anti-glare and
anti-reflective coatings. The end-result is that the user sees sharp, high-contrast
images and unaltered colour depth," concluded Herron.
