ESSEN, Germany — 3M will show its touchscreen and touchmonitor products for the self-service kiosk and ATM markets May 8-10 at Kiosk Europe Expo 2007.

Other highlights include a 32-inch MicroTouch ClearTek II capacitive touchscreen, EX II capacitive electronics, an M170 17-ichn LCD touchmonitor, and a CT150 15-ichn LCD touchmonitor.
The latest generation MicroTouch ToughTouch capacitive touchscreens are designed to meet the stringent requirements of unsupervised, high-threat environments, such as ATMs.

They also feature enhanced light transmission at 86.5 percent average and world-class storage temperature ranging from -50 to +80 Celsius.
The new ToughTouch II with optional privacy film for on-screen data protection in ATM and ticketing applications will also be displayed.
Alongside ToughTouch II, 3M will demonstrate a 32-inch MicroTouch ClearTek II capacitive touchscreen designed to meet the physical and functional requirements of new large format opportunities in hospitality applications, for interactive signage and point-of-information, and in gaming applications, for emerging slot machine designs.
Key features of ClearTek II include five times more wear-resistance and durability over other solutions, accurate touch performance and the highest levels of light transmission in the marketplace.
In addition, 3M will demonstrate its MicroTouch M170 and CT150 LCD-touchmonitors that incorporate durable ClearTek II capacitive touch technology for accurate and reliable touchdisplay solutions.
The M170 LCD touch monitor features touch stability as well as a peripheral attachment system, locking mechanism, adjustable display angle and various mounting options.
