industrial touch screens are widely used in industrial control, medical, education, terminals and other industries due to their excellent performance and quality.
The demand for industrial touch screens will increase significantly in the future. and the development ideas of industrial touch screens will become clearer.
What will the future industrial display screen look like?
Industrial touch screens have many advantages such as durability, fast response, space saving, and easy communication. With this technology, users can operate the host by simply touching the icons or text on the computer display with their fingers, making human-computer interaction more straightforward.
This technology greatly facilitates users who do not understand computer operation. Its development trend will be mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Alternative materials will continue to emerge in the industrial touch screen industry
From the perspective of the industrial touch screen industry chain, glass substrates, Petfilm, and adhesives are the main materials in the upstream of the industry, and the supply of glass substrates and Petfilm is monopolized by American and Japanese companies. ITO glass, ITOfilm, sensor (including touch IC), and coverlens are the midstream parts, and the downstream is a piece of touch module glass. Judging from the research and development of touch materials in recent years, the research and development of alternative materials is mainly in the upstream and midstream parts. At present.
touch sensors are undergoing the process of replacing glass with thin film. The thickness and weight brought by G/G touch technology still have great room for improvement for the terminal market and consumers. Thin film touch sensors are used to replace glass touch sensors in order to improve thickness and weight at the same time.
2. CoverLens is also accelerating the research and development process of replacing glass with plastic. At present, some large manufacturers have begun to evaluate the use of plastic to replace glass in order to overcome the problems of high weight and insufficient impact resistance. Generally speaking, the hardness and rigidity of glass materials are higher than those of plastic materials, and they can resist deformation and cracking caused by extrusion. In contrast, plastic materials are more impact-resistant and drop-resistant than glass materials.
At present, the thin film transparent materials of nano silver wires are mainly in the hands of Japanese material suppliers such as Ube Industries, ITRI Materials and Chemicals, and Changxing Chemical; and the main suppliers of PI are Panasonic, Mitsubishi, etc., and the yield and progress of their nano silver wires and high-temperature ITO thin film materials have attracted much attention from the touch panel industry. Overall, as the global touch screen industry continues to develop in the future, alternative materials will continue to emerge in the touch screen industry.
3. The two major industries of touch screen and LCD display will eventually “merge”
The industrial touch screen industry is very similar to the TFT LCD industry. The raw materials of both account for a large proportion of the value chain, about 60%; the two industries have been developing in parallel. In the end, the touch screen industry will form a supporting line with the production line of LCD manufacturers, and there is obvious production synergy between LCD manufacturers and touch screen manufacturers. Therefore, in the long run, the two major industries in the world will eventually “merge”, and perhaps the touch screen will return to the LCD industry and become a department of LCD manufacturers. Integration will be one of the trends in the future touch industry. Judging from the current overcapacity of touch, virtual integration is not only a trend, but also an important means for touch screen manufacturers to survive.
Industrial touch screen technology makes the device interface more friendly, and human-computer interaction is simpler, faster and more fun. All kinds of operations can be achieved with just a click. The application field of touch screens will surely become wider and wider. In the future, multiple touch forms will surely develop together, and the future world will also be a world of touch.
