Touch Panels: Clear Film V2
FCL Components Offers Upgraded Clear Film Option for Touch Panels
Overview
The Clear Film V2 can be used with all FCL Components' resistive touch panels, providing excellent image clarity and smooth finger touch input, which is nearly identical to projected capacitive touch panels.- Features of Clear Film V2
- Flush surface touch panel with Clear Film V2
- 4-wire touch panel with Clear Film V2
Features of Clear Film V2
Excellent image clarity and visibility
The Clear Film V2 has been developed to display images on an LCD more clearly and without distortion. Clarity has improved by approximately 2% compared to conventional clear-film technology, with an even greater improvement over non-glare film touch panels. It offers capabilities nearly identical to those of projected capacitive panels with a glass substrate.
Note: Clarity (JIS K 7374) is set based on a conventional product, which is considered 100% according to our internal research.Excellent smooth touch experience
To achieve smooth operability similar to that of a smartphone, we have created a smooth film surface. Users can experience a satisfying operational feel when flicking, swiping, or performing dual touch operations, etc. Evaluation is conducted using the contact angle (JIS R 3257) as a smooth evaluation index (Fig-1).

Notes
*1 : Image clarity (JIS K 7374) is indicated as a ratio when compared to the Clear Film V1, which is considered 100% based on FCL Components' internal research.
*2: In general, a larger water contact angle indicates smoother navigation of the fingers on the surface. (JIS R 3257).
- The data for the Clear Film V1, non-glare film, and capacitance type data in this table are obtained from representative products selected by our company.
- The transmittance of the resistive touch panel in this table is the data for the combination with high transmittance glass.
High versatility
The clear film technology can be used with all FCL Components' 4-, 5-, and 7-wire resistive touch panels, including general glass-film touch panels and flush surface touch panels.Major Applications
- Multifunction peripheral (MFP), copier
- POS/ECR
- Medical (operation panel for portable medical devices and large medical equipment)
- Factory automation (machine tools, measuring equipment, inspection machines)
- Car navigation system, car audio
- Electric dictionary
