SMK Develops “Wing Touch MM” Capacitive Touch Panel for the Large and Curved Surface

SMK Corporation has developed the “Wing Touch MM” capacitive touch panel that uses a copper mesh sensor for large and curved surfaces found on medium and large sized displays.
Recent years have seen the increased adoption of capacitive touch panels with excellent durability that easily supports medium and large display equipment used in industrial machinery and electronic public announcements. There is now a greater demand for high conductivity sensors rather than the conventional transparent conductive film ITO sensors in order to support the precision required for touch input detection and fast response speed in displays larger than 15 inches.
The new capacitive touch panel featuring a metal mesh (MM) sensor in the form of copper has low resistance and excellent conductivity compared to ITO sensors. In addition, this product makes it easy to handle larger size displays because it offers simplicity both in terms of its component materials and construction processes. The copper mesh sensor has excellent flexibility and can be attached to curved cover panels. This makes it possible to handle convex and concave surfaces.
