Kiosk touchscreen

What kiosk screen means?

A kiosk touchscreen is an essential interactive component of a kiosk machine, allowing users to navigate menus, enter information, and complete transactions with a simple touch. It replaces traditional keyboards and buttons, enhancing user convenience and efficiency. Typically made of capacitive or resistive touch technology, kiosk touchscreens are available in various sizes, such as 10.1-inch, 21.5-inch, 32-inch,  43-inch, and large sizes, depending on the kiosk’s function. These screens are used in self ordering kiosk, check in kiosk, payment kiosk, check out kiosk, and ticketing kiosk, enabling smooth, intuitive user interaction. At LKS, the high-quality touchscreens used in our kiosks feature anti-glare coatings, high durability, and multi-touch capabilities, ensuring long-lasting performance in high-traffic environments.

kiosk touchscreen technologies by LKS

  1. Capacitive Touchscreen: Utilizes the electrical properties of the human body to detect touch, offering high sensitivity and multi-touch capabilities.

  2. Resistive Touchscreen: Consists of multiple layers that respond to pressure, allowing for input via fingers, gloves, or styluses.

  3. Infrared (IR) Touchscreen: Uses an invisible grid of infrared light beams across the screen surface to detect touch points.

  4. Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Touchscreen: Employs ultrasonic waves that pass over the screen; touch is detected when these waves are absorbed.

  5. Optical Touchscreen: Utilizes cameras placed around the edges of the screen to detect touch by interpreting interruptions in the light paths.

  6. Projected Capacitive Touchscreen (PCAP): An advanced form of capacitive touch, offering even greater sensitivity and the ability to detect touch through protective glass layers.

Kiosk touchscreen brightness and visibility

Brightness (Nits)Visibility and Application
200 - 300 nitsSuitable for indoor environments with controlled lighting, such as retail stores and offices.
400 - 500 nitsIdeal for well-lit indoor areas and semi-outdoor locations with moderate sunlight exposure.
600 - 700 nitsProvides good visibility in bright indoor environments, such as atriums and areas near windows.
800 - 1000+ nitsDesigned for outdoor kiosks and locations with direct sunlight, ensuring clear visibility in harsh lighting conditions.

Key Considerations:

  • Anti-Glare Coating: Reduces reflections and glare, improving visibility in bright environments.

  • Anti-Reflective Coating: Minimizes screen reflections, enhancing readability under direct light.

  • Sunlight Readable Technology: Combines high brightness with optical bonding to improve outdoor visibility.

  • Viewing Angles: Wide viewing angles ensure the screen is readable from different positions, essential for public kiosks.

How to Choose the Right Kiosk Touchscreen

Selecting the right kiosk touchscreen is crucial for ensuring optimal user experience, durability, and performance. Start by identifying the touch technology that best suits your application: capacitive for high responsiveness, resistive for glove-friendly use, infrared for multi-touch precision, or SAW for high durability. Screen size should match the kiosk’s purpose—compact sizes (10"-22") for check-in kiosks, larger displays (32"-55") for self-ordering or digital signage. Resolution matters too—HD (1280x720) suffices for basic tasks, while Full HD (1920x1080) or 4K is ideal for high-detail applications.

Consider brightness and durability: indoor kiosks work with 250-500 nits, while outdoor models require at least 1000 nits with anti-glare and waterproof (IP65) coatings for visibility and weather resistance. Response time should be <10ms for smooth interaction, and multi-touch capabilities (10-point preferred) enhance usability. Ensure connectivity options (USB, HDMI, RS232) are compatible with your kiosk system. Finally, choose a certified, industrial-grade screen for longevity, vandal resistance (IK10), and reliability in high-traffic areas.
