Elo Launches New Entry Level LCD Touchmonitors at CeBIT

New cost-effective LCD touchmonitors for systems integrators and OEMs



CEBIT March 2006 - Hannover, Germany. Elo TouchSystems, the global leader in touch technology and a business unit of Tyco Electronics, is exhibiting its latest entry level LCD touchmonitor family on Stand C38 in Hall 25 at CeBIT (9-15 March 2006). The latest additions to the 1000 series are four touchmonitors in 12", 15", 17" and 19" sizes that deliver cost-effective touch solutions for systems integrators, resellers and OEMs in the retail and hospitality markets. The new 1215L, 1515L, 1715L and 1915L space-saving touchmonitors are "designed for touch" with Elo's proven expertise and reliability already built in.

All Elo 1000 series touchmonitors are factory sealed against dirt, dust and splashes and are styled to be attractive from all angles. The entire family is available with Elo's IntelliTouch surface wave touch technology plus a dual serial/USB touch interface. 1215L and 1515L models are also available with AccuTouch five-wire resistive technology. Worldwide agency approvals cover the entire monitor that is designed, built, serviced and supported by Elo, a single-source supplier. Elo also offers the 3000 and 5000 series of touchmonitors with additional options, features, choice of touch technologies and additional approvals for medical and industrial applications.

"Elo invented touch technology over thirty years ago and has set the global standard in touch ever since," says Ignace Verhamme, Elo product manager. "Using our experience, expertise and ingenuity, we have created our 'designed for touch' product family. Touch technology is built into the 1000 series from the ground up - not added as an afterthought by altering an existing monitor. The new touchmonitors include a stable base. Controls are placed on the side rather than the front and are locked out for public use. Elo's IntelliTouch pure glass surface wave technology offers superior optical clarity with excellent touch performance and can be used in a variety of environments because it registers input from a finger, gloved hand or soft stylus with a fast and accurate response. Elo's AccuTouch five-wire resistive technology may be activated with fingernail, gloved hand, credit card or any stylus and it keeps working with splashes, food and grease on the touchscreen."

According to Mike Sigona, Elo market manager, "Our new 1000 series of LCD desktop touchmonitors provides a truly economical solution, with Elo's renowned quality, for systems integrators, resellers and OEMs. With Elo's portfolio of touchmonitors - the world's largest - both first-time and experienced users can now deploy touch solutions to market more easily and reliably than ever before."

Elo's 1000 series "designed for touch" touchmonitors can be seen on Stand C38 in Hall 25. Samples of the new 1215L and 1915L will be available end of March with volume deliveries in May. The 1515L and 1915L are in stock now.
