The Clear Choice for Optics, Durability, and Touch Stability
The 3M MicroTouch Display M1700SS (17”), a purpose-built, surface
capacitive touch display, provides a cost-competitive touch alternative to
5-wire resistive display solutions. The display offers a stable base, highly
durable touch screen, brilliant optics and a hidden cable management
system, all in an elegant and simple-to-use design. This display easily
integrates into numerous point-of-sale, PC, and thin client systems
making it ideal for applications requiring long life, 24/7 uptime, and
the assurance of a 3-year “unlimited touches” warranty. Activated only
by human touch, the M1700SS display eliminates inadvertent or false
touches from jewelry, clothing, or handheld objects, making it the clear
choice for applications where reliability is key.
The Clear Choice
The M1700SS display utilizes an all-glass surface capacitive touch sensor
and proprietary 3M ClearTek Hard Coat to deliver superior durability,
91.5% light transmission, 270-nit brightness (with touchscreen), 500:1
contrast ratio, and an ultra-fast 5.4 millisecond touch response time.

Rock-solid Display Base
The M1700SS display is designed with touch in mind which results
in rock-solid touch stability even under rapidly repeating and/or heavy
tapping. Most displays that were not designed for touch can wobble and/
or flex, potentially causing a double touch that can increase operator
error and create an unsatisfactory customer experience. The M1700SS
display has the flexibility to attach peripheral devices to the left or right
of the display bezel and even maintains its touch stability when locked in
position at display angles ranging from 0 to 90 degrees.
Cost-Effective
The M1700SS display employs an all glass touch screen that has no
moving parts, unlike 5-wire resistive solutions that rely on compression
of the film and conductive coatings to recognize touch. Since force
is required to activate a resistive touch screen, it is susceptible to

mechanical wear and the appearance of “Newton Rings” which can
potentially reduce product life and optical performance. This rugged
M1700SS touch display continues to operate in the presence of onscreen contaminants and carries an “unlimited touch” warranty for
a period of 3 years. In addition, 3M owns the design and tooling for
the display thereby increasing control over the product life cycle and
decreasing the possibility for an external change.

Feature

Benefit

All-Glass, One-Layer
Solution

• tProvides 91.5% light transmission as compared to 80% for certain 5-wire resistive solutions
• tUnaffected by UV light that can cause degradation of optics and yellowing of film-based touch sensors over time
• tNo moving parts improves reliability
• tInherently free from the appearance of “Newton Rings”

3M ClearTek Hard Coat

• tProprietary coating is uniformly heat infused into the glass creating a non-permeable barrier for increased
t scratch and chemical resistance
• tLow surface energy coating promotes smooth finger drag
• tUnaffected by surface contaminants

Total Touch Solution

• tUnlike other touch display manufacturers that utilize 3rd party touch sensors, electronics, and or software in their t
t design, 3M owns, understands, and warranties the entire system for an unlimited amount of touches for 3 years
