New ToughTouch II capacitive
The latest generation MicroTouch ToughTouch Capacitive Touch Screens will be showcased on the stand, designed to meet the stringent requirements of unsupervised, high-threat environments, such as ATMs. ToughTouch II touch screens offer superior wear resistance and added impact resistance, exceeding UL 60950 impact test standards. They also feature enhanced light transmission at 86.5% average and world-class storage temperature ranging from -50ēC to + 80ēC.

Large format ClearTek II capacitive
Alongside ToughTouch II, 3M will demonstrate a 32 MicroTouch ClearTek II Capacitive Touch Screen designed to meet the physical and functional requirements of new large format opportunities in hospitality applications, for interactive signage and point-of-information, and in gaming applications, for emerging slot machine designs.
Key features of ClearTek II include at least five times more wear-resistance and durability over competitive solutions, accurate touch performance and the highest levels of light transmission in the market place today.
EX II capacitive electronics
MicroTouch EX II Controllers for ToughTouch II and ClearTek II will also be shown on the stand. EX II controllers are based on the innovative EX II ASIC, designed to provide higher resolution touch coordinates, on-chip RAM, and a wider operating temperature range. They support serial and USB, offer expanded regulatory approvals, improved power modes, and enhanced ESD and EMI protection.
