Elo TouchSystems
Introduces New 17IN LCD Rear-Mount Touchmonitors
Designed
for economy; offers customers a wider choice
 January
2005 Elo TouchSystems, Inc., the global leader in touch technology
and a business unit of Tyco Electronics, has announced two new 17in Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) rear mount
touchmonitors, the 1749L featuring a wide viewing angle panel and the 1746L with a lower spec panel. Both
touchmonitors feature Elo's clear glass IntelliTouch
surface wave touch technology for the utmost in optical
quality. The touchmonitors complement Elo's existing family of 12.1, 15, 17 and 19in LCD chassis touchmonitors
that feature a choice of Elo's touch technologies..
"The 1746L and 1749L touchmonitors have identical form
factors, differing only in their panel specifications, offering customers a choice which they can easily pass
on to their customers. Both feature a unique injection moulded minibezel with a watertight seal that makes
them ideal for indoor/outdoor kiosks, ticketing machines, medical equipment, industrial automation and
gaming/amusement applications, available with a choice of touch technologies.
"Elo has reduced the overall outside dimensions of the new 17in
touchmonitors by about 10 percent in height and width, made them 13 percent
thinner and designed a new minibezel that is about 50 percent smaller,
all while maintaining the overall integrity of the design," said
Mike Sigona, Elo market manager. "This makes the 1746L and 1749L
extremely convenient, allowing Elo's customers to expand the choice of
economical touch solutions they can provide to their customers."
Same Footprint, Choice of Panel
Elo's 1749L 17in
LCD rear mount touchmonitor features a 170° vertical by 170° horizontal
wide viewing angle panel with 500:1 contrast ratio and250
cd/m² brightness.
The pure glass IntelliTouch surface wave touchscreen maintains graphic
quality and clarity, reducing the light transmission only slightly
t230 cd/m2. "This wide viewing angle and brilliant display combine
to grab the user's attention," said Sigona. Also available in the
same form factor is the 1746L with a viewing angle of 140° by 140°,
similar contrast and brightness, but at a lower price."The option of
a lower spec panel with the same footprint allows customers to offer
a value/performance choice to their customers or to different target
markets, without requiring two different designs," continued Sigona.
Long Lasting Product Cycle
The 1746L and 1749L touchmonitors, like all of Elo's LCD chassis monitors,
have a long lasting product cycle because the enclosure is controlled by Elo's specifications. The monitors
feature a unique injection moulded minibezel and virtually invisible watertight seal, plus a choice of mounting
options including rear mount VESA. The 1749L offers a Digital Video Input (DVI I) in addition to the standard
analogue input, both have built-in support for both serial and USB touch interface, a remote multilingual on
screen display (OSD), as well as worldwide power and agency approvals.
