Acoustic Surface Wave Touchscreen Monitors

The Acoustic Surface Wave Touch Screen Monitor is widely considered one of the best touch screen technologies in the regular commercial market, as it boasts some of the most reliable, accurate and smooth performances of the available technologies, but generally speaking, this higher performance comes at a price.

How they work
In the case of touch screen monitors, reflectors are used to reflect the wave back to the transducer which allows it to tell precisely where the touch has ocurred and the monitor driver responds accordingly.

The greater the greater the disturbance, the greater the change in the amplitude of the wave, thus the more elastic the layer, or the more pressure that is placed on the surface of the layer, the greater the change in the amplitude of the wave. This is extremely helpful when differing changes in the wave disturbance is required for different outcomes.

For those who require the greatest degree of clarity from their touch screens, the acoustic screen allows for all emitted light to pass through, displaying as much clarity as the underlying monitor technology can deliver. The quality of the results of this technology is also reflected in the price of the monitor.

Another benefit of this technology is that it is not limited to the manner in which the touch is made against the screen. Regardless of the material or object, the acoustic wave can be disturbed and the event identified by the monitor.
