Touchscreen (Optional: for IDK-2108R Only) 5.1.1 Touch Characteristics The touch panel is a resistance type that the customer uses with flat display like an LCD. Once the operator touches it using a resin pen with a round end or a finger, the circuit for the touch panel sends its coordinate points to the PC reading voltages at the contact points.
Touch Controller (Optional: for IDK-2108R Only) 5.2.1 Touch Controller Characteristics The touch control board meets the latest Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive. This touch panel controller provides optimal performance of your analog resistive touch panels for 4-wire models. It communicates with the PC sys- tem directly through a USB connector.

Note 5: Definition of response time The output signals of the photo detector are measured when the input signals are changed from "Full Black" to "Full White" (rising time), and from "Full White" to "Full Black" (falling time), respectively. The response time is the interval between 10% and 90% of the amplitudes.
Optical Characteristics The optical characteristics are measured under stable conditions at 25°C (Room Temperature) Since the front polarizer is easily damaged, pay attention not to scratch it. Be sure to turn off the power supply when inserting or disconnecting from the input connector.
