The Clear Choice for Optics, Reliability, and Ease of Integration

The 3M MicroTouch Display C1700SS (17”), a robust metal chassis

display using 3M's industry-standard surface capacitive touch tech-

nology, provides a durable, optically-enhanced, and cost competi-

tive alternative to 5-wire resistive displays used in industrial automa-

tion equipment and kiosk enclosures. The C1700SS display offers

multiple mounting options to make integration easy and a variety of

bezel options for sealing against liquids and other contaminants.

The Clear Choice

The C1700SS display utilizes an all-glass surface capacitive touch sensor

91.5% light transmission, 225-nit brightness (with touch sensor), 500:1

contrast ratio and an ultra-fast 5.4 millisecond touch contact time.

Multiple Mounting and Bezel Options

Multiple mounting and bezel options enable customers to meet their

application needs at minimal cost. The C1700SS display offers a 75mm

VESA pattern to provide arm mounting capability for industrial automation

equipment. This minimizes the capital expenditure needed to upgrade

equipment with touch. L-brackets are included for installations requiring

the touch display to be fully enclosed.

The C1700SS display offers two bezel options. The Slimline bezel

(optional) is flush with the edges of the display and is ideal for arm-

mounted applications and is ideal for solutions that require a NEMA 1

seal rating. The Industrial Flanged bezel (optional), a metal-gasketed

bezel, enables kiosks or others enclosures to support NEMA 4X / IP66

seal ratings.

Cost Effective

The C1700SS display uses an all-glass touch sensor with no moving

parts, whereas 5-wire resistive solutions rely on compressing the top

film layer against a conductive coating to recognize touch. Since force is

Benefit

• Provides 91.5% light transmission as compared to 80% for certain 5-wire resistive solutions

• Unaffected by UV light that can cause degradation of optics and yellowing of film-based touch sensors over time

• No moving parts improves reliability

• Inherently free from the appearance of “Newton Rings”

• Proprietary coating is uniformly heat infused into the glass creating a non-permeable barrier for increased

scratch and chemical resistance

• Low surface energy coating promotes smooth finger drag

• Unaffected by surface contaminants

• Unlike other touch display manufacturers that utilize 3rd party touch sensors, electronics, and or software in their

design, 3M owns, understands, and warranties the entire system for an unlimited amount of touches for 3 years

Recommended Applications

• Industrial Automation

• Security Systems

• Self Service

• Point-of-Information (POI)

• Hospitality

• Home Automation

required to activate a resistive touch sensor it is susceptible to mechanical

wear and the appearance of “Newton Rings” which can potentially reduce

product life and optical performance.

The C1700SS touch display operates reliably in the presence of on-screen

contaminants and carries a 3-year “unlimited touches” warranty.
