Touch technology, written by the people who spec it

Working notes from the YCL Touch engineering and applications team: how infrared sensing behaves, how retrofits succeed or fail, and how to specify without wasting a sample cycle.

TECHNOLOGY

What Is an Infrared Touch Screen?

The light-grid mechanism, interpolation, sunlight behaviour and where IR beats every other touch technology.

SELECTION

Infrared Touch: Advantages and Disadvantages

An even-handed ledger — size, cost, ambient light, bezel height and maintenance — with selection advice.

HOW-TO

DIY Infrared Touch Screen: Build from a Kit

Parts, assembly order, alignment, calibration and the troubleshooting table nobody publishes.

TECHNOLOGY

Touch Screen Film: Touch Foil Through Glass

How a 0.155 mm film turns a window into a touch screen — glass limits, lamination and failure modes.

APPLICATION

Classroom Whiteboard Deployment Checklist

Board size by room depth, projector pairing, mounting heights and teacher workflow, in checklist form.

HOW-TO

USB Touch Overlays: Interfaces, Drivers & HID

How overlays talk to Windows, Android, Linux and macOS — and why "no driver needed" is almost true.

ENGINEERING

Large Frames (86–110″): Splicing & Calibration

Profile splicing, corner accuracy, multi-segment calibration and wall flatness at architectural scale.

APPLICATION

Open Frame Touch in Kiosk Integration

Mounting, ventilation, bezel sealing and service access — the builder's side of open-frame touch.

ENGINEERING

Inside a Touch Screen PCBA Module

Emitter arrays, scanning, interpolation firmware and USB HID output — and what fails in the field.

OEM

From Sample to Mass Production: The OEM Process

Drawing confirmation, sample, pilot and production — where custom touch frame lead time actually goes.
