FineIR Technology Far East Co. has developed a high precision touch screen system that allows you to easily convert your existing LCD/PDP TV into a touch system.

Fineir Technology is a Hong Kong based professional IR touch screen manufacturer. Fineir has developed a high precision touch screen system that allows you to easily convert your existing LCD or Plasma TV into a touch system in low cost.

Most of the existing infra-red touch screen systems do not support high precision touch, this is caused by the physical barrier of the size of optical sensors, though there are some new improvement recently has been done by the interpolation techique, however because it is still based on the software level, and in fact this kind of software manipulation cannot phisically improve the touch accuracy, and its precision can be inconsistent from a single touch to the consecutive touches over the screen from time to time. Unlike other optical technology, Fineir has its own patented IR touch technology which can offer a high accuracy with nearly pixel-level touch resolution, and with touch object size recognition capability, e.g. the technology can identify touch object is a finger or a pen, or even between a thumb and a finger. Without using any dedicated stylus, any touch object like a pen or finger tip can be used as a mouse to perform click, smooth drag, and draw a smooth line without zigzag in fast touch response.

But why we use infra-red? The primary advantages of IR touch screens are their clarity and immunity to drift, it means there is no need to calibrate the system from time to time after the first time installation has been done correctly. The sensor arrays of an IR touchscreen need no substrate, so the touch screen doesn't place anything between the display and the user that might reduce the display's brightness, thus it can generate a super image clarity. Over hundreds of different sizes are being developed to fit those most different brands of LCD/PDP TV displays in the market. Because of its advanced patented size cutting technology, any new sizes can be quickly produced, and in consequence mostly we can offer a very short lead time for a new different size which you need to suit your own design.

Without altering the original TV outlook and affecting its normal operation, Fineir Touch screen provides simple solution for system integration, the flexible mounting method to fit most kind of display panel, and which allow much easier on top installation to your exiting display panel.

These innovative touch screen designs are available in an extremely wide range of sizes. Fineir technology can produce them in sizes from 6 inches to 200 inches, thus ensuring that the touch screen can meet the requirements of a wide variety of applications. Fineir touch screen bezel is made of aluminum with charcoal black coating surface, by using IR optical sensors on top of a tempered glass touch surface is an ideal method optimized for a superior optical clarity to preserve the original image quality. Fineir next-generation design has a advanced technology that featuring a very low-profile bezel in 11.5 mm thickness including the 3mm glass overlay, and with a narrow frame boarder in 30mm wide for touch screen size from 24" to 52".
