Touch Solutions for Outdoor Applications

In outdoor environments, touch panels are commonly found in various machines, such as parking payment kiosks and charging stations. These machines operate under harsh conditions, including exposure to sunlight, rain, and extreme cold. Higgstec has successfully addressed the challenges faced by touch panels in these extreme environments, providing exceptional reliability and performance to meet the demands of outdoor applications.

Comparison Between Standard Touch Panels and Higgstec Solutions

Anti-Yellowing and Peeling, UV-Resistant Technology for Enhanced Touch screen

Impact of UV and IR Light on Touch screen
In outdoor environments, UV and IR light are major factors that degrade the functionality and appearance of touch panels. UV light causes certain materials to yellow and become brittle, affecting aesthetics and performance. Prolonged exposure to IR light can lead to heat accumulation in LCDs, potentially causing overheating and malfunctions.

Higgstec's UV-Resistant Solution

Higgstec integrates sunlight-resistant materials and advanced technologies to minimize damage caused by sunlight, ensuring your devices remain stable and reliable during prolonged outdoor use. This solution significantly extends the lifespan of touch panels, maintaining both performance and durability in harsh environments.

Severe glare on outdoor ATM screens makes display content difficult to read.

Anti-Glare Technology: Enhancing Visibility Under Sunlight

Impact of Glare on Users
Under intense sunlight, glare increases the reflectivity of touch panels, reducing the clarity of LCD displays. This makes it challenging for users to read screen content clearly in outdoor environments, negatively affecting the overall user experience.

Higgstec's Anti-Glare Solutions

Higgstec effectively reduces reflectivity and significantly enhances screen visibility under bright sunlight through advanced coating technologies that enhance light transmittance and full lamination techniques. This ensures that users can operate devices effortlessly, regardless of lighting conditions.

In extreme cold environments, low temperatures cause LCD failure on touch screens, affecting usability.

Solutions for Stable Touch Screen Performance in Extreme Cold Environments

Impact of Low Temperatures on Touch Screens

In freezing environments below 0°C, the liquid crystal displays (LCDs) of touch screens are prone to failure due to low temperatures. This can result in screen malfunction, device failure, and disruption of normal operations.

Higgstec's Cold-Resistant Solutions

Higgstec focuses on addressing the technical challenges of low-temperature environments by implementing special designs and built-in heating technologies. These innovations ensure that touch screens remain stable and fully functional under extreme cold conditions, making them suitable for various demanding outdoor applications.

In rainy conditions, outdoor car wash touch screens still maintain responsive performance.

Waterproof and Moisture-Resistant Design: Ensuring Stable Operation of Outdoor Touch Screens

Impact of Humid Environments on Touch Panels

In humid outdoor environments, touch panels often experience false touches or operational failures. This occurs because rainwater contains capacitance, and uncalibrated touch panels cannot effectively filter out interference signals caused by water, leading to malfunctions or abnormal operations.

Higgstec's Waterproof Interference Solutions

Higgstec significantly enhances the signal-to-noise ratio through advanced circuit design and firmware adjustments. Combined with hydrophobic coatings, this reduces the interference caused by rainwater, ensuring that touch panels maintain sensitivity and accuracy even in humid conditions.

Outdoor machines are subjected to human impact, leading to equipment downtime.

Impact-Resistant and Durable Design: Enhancing Long-Term Stability of Touch Screens

Threats Faced by Outdoor Touch Screens
Outdoor devices are frequently exposed to threats such as natural disasters, external impacts, human vandalism, and daily wear and tear. These factors can easily damage touch screens, leading to equipment failure or frequent maintenance needs, thereby reducing operational efficiency.

Higgstec's Impact-Resistant Solutions

Higgstec employs reinforced glass or plastic cover plates to significantly enhance the impact resistance, scratch resistance, and wear resistance of touch screens. This design not only withstands external impacts but also ensures stable operation over extended periods, even in unattended conditions. It guarantees durability in harsh environments and reduces maintenance costs, ensuring reliable performance in demanding outdoor applications.
