With the evolution of touch screen technology, touch interface has been gradually taking its place in life as one of the most effective user interfaces. We have become accustomed to using electronic products like our own smartphones, tablets and kiosks, ATMs, vending machines, electronic information systems in public places with touch screens. The healthcare industry is another area with rapid adoption of medical tablets, touch panel PCs, medical devices with touch panels and other touch related medical computers.
As any user-accessible areas can be subjected to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) strikes, all products with touch panels require some sort of ESD protection. Their electrostatic discharge problems need to be addressed to meet international standards. Electrostatic discharge can be very harmful to computer systems. Even a small amount of voltage can damage components and cause system failure.
Product reliability is an important factor for hardware and software on the design of industrial panel PC and medical tablet computers with touch panels built-in. This article will provide information on touch panel ESD protection, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard ESD tests and requirements for medical devices and industrial computers.
The touch screens and displays from Reshine-display can stand 4kv,6kv,8kv ESD contact testing.
