Newhaven Display has the resources and expertise to design and manufacture virtually any custom resistive or capacitive touchscreen requirement.
Get startedYour Custom Touch Solution Starts Here
The ability to customize touch solutions has become increasingly important in our modern world to meet the evolving demands in diverse industries. This is just one of the many ways we can create a custom display solution for our customers. Touchscreens have revolutionized the way we interact with LCD and OLED display technology by integrating projected capacitive touch (PCAP) or resistive touch panels. Touch interfaces offer a more intuitive and direct way of communicating with devices. You can learn more about the history, types, and how touchscreens work in our blog.
We offer a range of TFTs and OLEDs that come with assembled touchscreens as part of our standard product line. Additionally, we also provide 4-wire resistive touch panels that can be purchased separately. In case you require a customized touch solution, we have an in-house engineering team that can work with you to develop a personalized touchscreen solution that aligns with your project requirements.

Choosing The Right Touchscreen Panel
When choosing a touchscreen, it's essential to consider its intended use and user needs. Capacitive and resistive touchscreens have advantages and disadvantages, serving different purposes and offering diverse user experiences. Understanding the operational mechanism and key features of each can guide you in making an informed decision that aligns with your project's requirements.
When to Choose a Capacitive Touchscreen
Capacitive touchscreens rely on the electrical properties of the human body to sense touch. A sensor within the touchscreen detects changes in capacitance caused by disrupting its electrostatic field when you touch it.
PCAP touchscreens are best suited for applications needing improved touch responsiveness with superior image quality. Commonly used in medical devices since thin surgical gloves also work well with them.

When to Choose a Resistive Touchscreen
Resistive touchscreens operate through the detection of pressure. Pressing down on the screen causes the two layers to make contact, completing a circuit and registering a touch at that location.
Resistive touchscreens are ideal for low-cost applications requiring simple touch features, moisture resistance, and a need for various input methods like a stylus or wearing heavy-duty gloves.

Need assistance or have questions about display customizations?
Contact an engineerYes, we can add your company logo. Please send artwork to nhtech@newhavendisplay.com
Yes, we can extend the touchscreen or cover glass beyond the dimensions of the display. Please send a 3D drawing with your required dimensions to nhtech@newhavendisplay.com
We cannot add cover glass in front of a resistive touchscreen since these touchscreens must be pressed for a touch event to occur. Adding cover glass in front of a resistive touchscreen will prevent the touch panel from being pressed.
Our standard capacitive touchscreen displays already have an integrated 0.7mm thick, chemically strengthened cover glass applied. We can provide thicker cover glass customizations upon request.
The capacitive touch panel sensitivity is configured during our manufacturing process. If sensitivity modification is required for an application, this must be done during the manufacturing as a custom part.
Yes, we can provide the display with optical bonding. Our NHD-4.3-800480EZ-ASXP-CTP is a standard off-the-shelf display with an optically bonded capacitive touchscreen.
Yes, we can provide touchscreen add-ons for OLED displays depending on the size of the display. We currently offer our 2.7" graphic OLEDs with capacitive touch which you can reference.
