Touch screens have a wide range of applications around the world, from factory equipment, electronic inquiry facilities, to mobile phones, digital cameras, cell phones, etc., you can see touch screens. Its wide application also marks the real arrival of the era of popularization of computer applications.

 

Precautions for Touch Screen of Industrial Display

 

Avoid Hard Press

When using the capacitive type, be careful not to press too hard or touch the surface of the screen with sharp objects.

The capacitive touch industrial display adopts a new type of touch recognition technology, which only needs to be touched lightly with a finger on the touch screen, and the control can be completed without the induction of pressure.

 

Avoid Water

In order for the industrial display to operate stably in the application, what we have to do is to clear all foreign objects on the industrial display touch screen, and ensure that the fingers are dry and clean when using it. Avoid flooding the LCD screen of the industrial display to affect the touch effect.

 

Avoid Light Exposure

In order to maintain better touch screen sensitivity, our industrial displays should try to avoid close-range direct exposure of artificial light sources or direct sunlight.

 

Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields

It is necessary to avoid the electromagnetic field when using, because the magnetic field will cause the temporary failure of the capacitive screen (serious or even permanent damage). Pay attention to magnetic objects such as speakers and do not allow them to come close to the touch screen display.

 

Avoid Serious Electrostatic Effects

The electrostatic effect easily penetrates the capacitive screen. Although the glass on the surface of the capacitive screen of the touch screen display has undergone a certain anti-static treatment, it can only withstand static electricity under a certain strength, so be sure to pay attention when choosing a protective film for the touch screen display. Try to choose a protective film with strong anti-static ability.

 

Avoid High Temperature Environment

Do not use it for a long time under the high temperature sun. When the surrounding temperature reaches 40°C, it will cause the capacitive screen of the touch screen to drift. This will cause the touch screen display to be directly scrapped and cause economic losses for a long time.

 

Cleaning the Touch Screen of Industrial Display

 

Clean up the dust in the four corners of the screen and the bottom frame in time to prevent the dust from affecting the touch positioning of the screen. Be sure not to place or discard small obstacles at the four corners of the screen and each frame to prevent the touch screen from being unable to locate due to obstacles.

Industrial display enclosures are very easy and convenient to clean. When cleaning, please wipe the screen and frame with a soft cloth after shutting down. When wiping, do not wipe upwards, but wipe the screen from top to bottom.
