It’s a kind of interactive computer monitor that is designed for harsher environments. Compared with a common office monitor, such a device is more rugged. There are 3 types of core parts for such monitors. They are a touch screen, LCD panel, and control board. All of them need to be industrial-grade.

There are three types of commonly used touch screens. There are resistive touch screens, capacitive touch screens, and infrared touch screens. The industrial monitor always uses the resistive type and capacitive type because they are ultra-slim, the cost is cheap and it’s easy to produce. IR devices have a wide and thick frame. Although its size can be custom, it’s mostly used for large screen monitors.

Resistive touch panel and Capacitive touch panel both have their advantages and disadvantages. The resistive panel is more rugged for dust, water, oil, etc, but it only supports single touch. The capacitive panel can support multi-touch points, but it’s more sensitive to the environment. If you don’t know which one is better for your application, please feel free to contact us.

Although both of them are computer display monitors, there are lots of differences between them. For example, some industrial LCD monitors are readable in the daylight, however, you can see nothing from the screen when you place a common monitor in the daylight. Normally, it’s not available if you want to use a common monitor for industrial applications for a long time. The followings are some main differences between them.
