3M Multi-Touch System PCT2000PX
™

The Innovative Choice for Next Generation User Interfaces
With more than 25 years of capacitive touch sensing and manufacturing
expertise, 3M has developed a purpose-built multi-touch system for
applications that demand high-performance multi-touch functionality for
displays ranging from 15 to 32 inches. The 3M Multi-Touch System
PCT2000PX provides customers with a leading-edge solution that
resolves up to 40 simultaneous multi-touch events with palm rejection
at speeds 167% faster than the 60 Hz refresh rate of many industrial
displays. This innovative multi-touch solution goes beyond two-touch
gestures to enable intuitive, easy-to-use natural user interfaces that can
create more engaging user experiences.
™

The PCT2000PX multi-touch system exemplifies 3M’s strong system
solution focus by combining 3M proprietary touchscreen manufacturing
technology with the patented 3M Multi-Touch Controller PX400 to
overcome existing design challenges in scaling projected capacitive
technology (PCAP) solutions beyond common portable device sizes
(3.5 to 11.6 inches). This system has been designed and engineered
specifically for 15 inch to 32 inch displays so OEM’s and integrators
can use its unique feature set without settling for scaled up versions
of mobile handheld electronics and manufacturing processes. With
the PCT2000PX multi-touch system, 3M now offers a wide range of
multi-touch system products that use advanced sensing techniques to
address the unique needs of larger display applications.
™

The PCT2000PX system’s non-active, chemically-strengthened cover
glass offers a durable surface that protects the underlying conductive
elements while helping make the touchscreen virtually functionally
impervious to surface scratches. This feature enables leading-edge
industrial design techniques, such as flat front surfaces, that eliminate
the need for bulky bezels required by other touch technologies to protect

the active surface touch components. In addition to adding sophisticated
industrial design, the flat front surface solution eliminates dust and
debris build-up at the edges of the display and also helps increase overall
system reliability by not having critical components on the touchscreen
surface that can be damaged or obstructed.
