Why does touch screen panel thickness affect touch experience?

In the process of using a touch screen, few users actually pay attention to the thickness of the touch screen. They may not realize that the thickness of the touch screen panel directly affects the user experience. As a professional manufacturer, Shenzhen Xinlilai Touch Technology Co., Ltd. will take you to understand the technical principles behind this today.
 

Firstly, panel thickness is closely related to touch sensitivity. Thinner touch screen panel (below 0.8 millimeters) can transmit touch signals more quickly and accurately, making them particularly suitable for applications that require high-precision operation, such as drawing boards or medical imaging equipment. The special sensor layout scheme we adopt allows the 0.7mm panel to achieve touch accuracy comparable to the 1.2mm panel.
 

Another often overlooked factor is the relationship between thickness and optical performance. The thicker the panel, the more light is refracted, which can affect the display effect. For this purpose, we have developed a low refractive index optical bonding technology that allows 1.5mm touch screen panel to achieve a transmittance close to 1.0mm panels. The 1.3mm panel customized for a high-end monitor last year achieved an astonishing 93% light transmittance, far exceeding the industry average.
 

In terms of durability, thickness selection also needs to be balanced. Although thicker panels are more sturdy, excessive thickness can affect the aesthetics and portability of the device. Our solution is to locally strengthen key areas, such as adding special reinforcement structures at the edges of 1.0mm panels, which not only maintains overall thinness but also enhances impact resistance.
