A 6.1in version of Zytronic's projected capacitive technology-based Zybrid touch sensor has been selected for use in Bladelius Design Group's Embla system. Embla is a high-performance audio playback system that offers quick and simple operation. It makes use of advanced audio DSP technology to allow complete control of the timing and reading of discs. It also offers silent high-performance audio playback without any moving mechanical parts when playing from its built-in flash memory.Zybrid touch sensors are fully customisable and are based on Zytronic's projected capacitive touch technology. PCT touch sensors have no vulnerable front-face-active components, such as conductive coatings, lenses or acoustic transducers. Instead, the sensing element comprises an array of microscopic 10um diameter copper capacitors located behind a durable pure-glass panel, which completely protects the sensor from any day-to-day wear and tear, as well as moisture and dirt.
This rear-mounted matrix of micro fine conductive tracks is near invisible when viewed against a powered display, ensuring good optical clarity and high levels of light transmission. PCT also offers advantages over infrared or surface acoustic wave technologies. It is not prone to misalignment of the sensors through shock or vibration. In addition, PCT does not require the placing of a bezel structure around the screen, thus enabling modern, pure-glass fronted designs.
