The touch screen has gone through the development process from low-end to high-end, from infrared touch screen, 4-wire resistive touch screen to capacitive touch screen, and now it has developed to surface acoustic wave touch screen and 5-wire resistive touch screen. The performance is more and more reliable, and the technology is more and more. The more advanced, and with the different application characteristics of various industries, the development of LCD flat panel display technology has highlighted the advantages of infrared touch screens, which are favored by users in the financial and securities industries.
After years of development, the function of the touch screen has evolved from the original simple inquiry and browsing to an all-in-one machine integrating business inquiry and Internet touch inquiry. The application fields have also gone from postal, telecommunications, and shopping malls to many fields in various industries. Looking at the development of IT products, two basic elements are inseparable: market capacity and price. Price reduction will produce a certain amount of increase, but if there is no real market foundation, the popularization of products, technology and industry development will be impossible to talk about.
Since the early impression of touch screen products is only information inquiry, they are dispensable for industry users and will inevitably affect market capacity. At present, touch screen manufacturers are improving the functions of their products and increasing the weight of their business systems. For example, the bank's Kiosk-machine has been equipped with micro printers, card readers and other equipment, and functionally absorbed the bank's services such as bankbooks and transfers, making the system no longer just stop at business introduction and image promotion. This change is obviously effective, and the banking system has a strong demand for such all-in-one machines. At present, the self-service ticketing system has appeared in the all-in-one machine, which is applied to the ticketing business of railways and highways. Due to the adaptability of touch screen products to the open environment and the consideration of sales network and image promotion by commercial systems, ATM and vending machines cannot replace Kiosk-body machines for the time being, but business-oriented all-in-one machines are definitely a development direction.
The improvement in price mainly comes from the development of touch screen technology and touch screen software. Due to the current advantages and disadvantages of various touch screens, the scope of application and scale of application are restricted. Users may only consider the convenience and lifespan of use, but manufacturers must continue Introduce the old and bring forth the new, and supply products with higher performance and lower price to users. The generation of new technologies requires a lot of accumulation, and the transformation of the original technology is the current mainstream, just like the technological innovation of infrared touch screens, which has opened up its application fields and markets. The improvement of surface acoustic wave touch screens has already had a gratifying sight. Because surface acoustic wave touch screens can produce pressure-sensitive, the invisibly increase the control means, which is very beneficial to the expansion of touch screen functions, and the application range is greatly expanded.
The development of touch screen technology also includes the maturity of application software technology. Touch screen query is inseparable from touch screen query software. Mature software will allow users to enjoy two advantages: complete functions and low price. With the advancement of products in the application market of various industries and the continuous strengthening of the understanding of industry applications, the system will become more and more integrated, and the price will drop due to the declining input.
The formulation of industry standards for touch screens cannot be ignored, which will be conducive to scale development and reasonable competition, and is extremely helpful to price optimization. Under current conditions, users in various industries also need to reduce unnecessary special requirements, reduce manufacturers' RD costs, strengthen investment in software application systems, increase hardware productization and scale, and improve application systems. , Really achieve the goal of convenience for everyone and industry users.
