How to choose right angle and rounded corner design for touch screen?

In today's era where touch screens are ubiquitous, with the continuous advancement of technology, people pursue products that are both beautiful and practical. The debate between right angles and rounded corners has never stopped in the design of touch screen products. Customers often ask about the differences between the right angle and rounded corner designs in touch screen panels. Today we will talk about this topic, hoping to provide some inspiration for you who are currently selecting.
 

The touch screen with a right angle design has straight and sharp lines, sharp edges, and is particularly suitable for products that pursue modernity and technology. For example, in professional fields such as industrial control equipment and medical instruments, right angle design can convey precise and reliable impressions as well as a simple and atmospheric visual experience. From a technological perspective, right angle cutting is relatively simple and has lower processing costs, which is why many users choose right angle designs.
 

But right angle design also has its disadvantages. The most obvious issue is the tactile sensation, as sharp edges may cause discomfort during frequent touch operations. We once had a customer feedback that their cashier felt a slight discomfort in their wrist after operating the right angle touch screen panels for a long time. In addition, right angled edges are more prone to stress concentration during accidental collisions and have relatively weaker drop resistance.
 

In contrast, the rounded corner design is like a pebble polished by time, reflecting humanistic considerations everywhere. The rounded corners not only provide a comfortable touch, but also effectively disperse the impact force and improve the durability of the touch screen panels. In scenarios such as smart homes and educational tablets that emphasize interactive experience, rounded corner design is often more popular. Especially for devices used by children, rounded corners can greatly reduce the risk of accidental scratches.
 

However, the rounded corner process requires higher requirements and specialized CNC polishing procedures, which can lead to a cost increase of about 5-8%. Moreover, excessively rounded corners may make the touch screen panels appear unprofessional, making it less suitable for certain business situations.
 

In actual selection, we suggest that customers consider three dimensions about whether : first, the usage scenario. Industrial environments focus on functionality, while consumer areas place more emphasis on experience; Next is the target users, with children and the elderly giving priority to rounded corners; Finally, budget control is crucial as the cost difference of rounded corners becomes apparent during large-scale procurement.
