Creating a waterproof touch screen for outdoor and industrial applications requires careful integration of several components and protective design features.
Projected Capacitive (PCAP): Best for waterproofing and multi-touch functionality. Works through glass or plastic cover lenses.
Resistive Touch: Less ideal outdoors; pressure-based, not suitable for gloved use in rain or when wet.
Infrared/Optical Touch: Less reliable in harsh or dirty environments.
Recommended: PCAP touch with water rejection algorithms for outdoor/industrial use.
Optical Bonding fills the air gap between the touch sensor and display with a transparent adhesive:
Improves readability in sunlight.
Prevents moisture/condensation.
Strengthens durability
Use chemically strengthened glass (e.g., Gorilla Glass) or a tough PMMA layer.
Seal the edges with waterproof gaskets or silicone.
Thickness: 0.7mm–2mm depending on impact requirements.
Target IP65, IP67, or IP68 rating depending on exposure:
IP65: Protected against low-pressure water jets.
IP67: Withstands immersion up to 1m for 30 mins.
IP68: Long immersion and pressure resistance.
Use rubber gaskets, waterproof glue, and sealed ports.
Apply nano-coatings on the surface to repel water, oil, and dust.
Enhances visibility and usability during rain or moisture contact.
Firmware should handle:
Moisture rejection algorithms.
Glove and water detection.
Temperature compensation for extreme hot/cold weather.
Perform:
Waterproof testing (spray, immersion).
Temperature cycling (-20°C to +70°C or more).
UV exposure testing.
Vibration/shock testing for industrial grade.
