Advancing Touch Technology: New Resistive Multi-Touch Solutions

In many demanding applications, reliability is non-negotiable. Environments filled with electrical noise, moisture, or extreme conditions require a touch interface that simply works — every time. That’s why RDS has just announced its new Resistive Multi-Touch (RMT) solution: a technology that preserves all the proven strengths of resistive touch while adding true multi-finger capability.

Unlike traditional resistive panels limited to single-point input, our RMT technology brings natural two-finger gestures into environments where other touch solutions would fail. Users can pinch-to-zoom, rotate objects, tap-and-hold, or perform smooth two-point operations — all while wearing gloves, working on wet surfaces, or operating in high-noise settings.

Why Resistive Multi-Touch Stands Apart

• Unmatched noise immunity that virtually eliminates false touches
• Full functionality with any glove type, maintaining precision and responsiveness
• Reliable performance in rain, high humidity, or condensing environments
• Proven long-term stability in industrial, secure communication, and mission-critical systems

These characteristics make our RMT solution the preferred choice when zero input errors are required and system uptime is essential.

Seamless Integration for Any Design

We co-design our resistive multi-touch panels with advanced controllers to ensure perfect compatibility and maximum flexibility. The result is a complete ecosystem that adapts easily to your product architecture:

• Support for a wide range of panel sizes, from compact handheld devices to large industrial displays
• Multiple interface options including USB, I2C, UART, and RS-232
• Native compatibility with mainstream operating systems such as Windows and Linux
• Space-saving options with chip-on-flex (COF) tails or direct integration onto your motherboard

Built for the Harshest Conditions

Every one of our value-added resistive multi-touch panels is engineered to excel where standard solutions fall short:

• Integrated shielding for superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection
• Low-reflective surface treatments that dramatically improve outdoor readability
• Ultra-durable Glass-Film-Glass (GFG) construction for outstanding scratch resistance
• Combined GFG with low-reflective properties when both durability and visibility are critical

Our panels also deliver exceptional electrostatic discharge protection, easily meeting rigorous Air Discharge 15 kV and Contact Discharge 8 kV standards.

When your application demands touch performance that never compromises — regardless of gloves, water, noise, or bright sunlight — our Resistive Multi-Touch solution provides the reliability and advanced functionality you need.
