How to "resist light" and "resist manufacturing" the touch screen of outdoor industrial equipment?
June 5, 2025
In scorching summer construction sites, busy ports and docks, or dusty mines, operators need to precisely control heavy machinery. Traditional buttons and knobs are inconvenient to operate in complex environments, while ordinary touch screens may "disappear" in strong sunlight - this is the strict requirement that outdoor industrial equipment places on touch screens.
The core of the challenge lies in "light" and "dust":
Strong light interference: Under direct sunlight at noon, the screen reflects heavily and the content is difficult to recognize.
Poor visibility: High ambient light causes a decrease in screen contrast, as if covered with a layer of white mist.
Adverse environment: Dust, oil stains, rainwater, and vibration constantly threaten the normal operation of equipment.
Xinlilai Touch's solution:
1. High brightness screen+full lamination technology: We use a high brightness LCD screen (usually above 1000 nits) to ensure clear and visible content even under scorching sun. Combined with full lamination technology (tightly bonding touch screens and LCD screen without an air layer in between), it significantly reduces light reflection and internal reflection on the screen surface, greatly improving outdoor visibility.
2. Wide temperature design: From the harsh northern winter to the scorching southern summer, the equipment needs to withstand huge temperature differences. We strictly screen LCD materials and control ICs to ensure stable operation of thetouch screens in a temperature range of -20 ° C to+70 ° C or even wider, avoiding low-temperature hysteresis or high-temperature failure.
3. Durable protection: The panel is made of high-strength tempered glass (even explosion-proof glass), and the surface is treated with anti glare (AG) or anti reflection (AR) to reduce reflection and increase wear resistance. The overall structure is designed with high protection levels such as IP65/IP67, effectively resisting the invasion of dust and water flow.
4. Precise touch control: In response to the needs of workers who may wear gloves for operation, we have optimized touch control solutions (such as high-sensitivity projected capacitive) to ensure accurate response even when wearing thick work gloves.
As the source factory of touch screens, we deeply understand that the reliability of outdoor industrial equipment is related to production safety and efficiency. Every touch screen used outdoors undergoes rigorous environmental aging testing and optical performance verification to ensure that it can become a trusted "partner" for operators even in the most challenging environments.
