What is an Open Frame Monitor?
An open frame monitor is a display that is integrated into a bare metal chassis without an enclosure or bezel. The advantage of an open frame monitor is the flexible design that allows it to be integrated into a wide range of applications. Since these monitors do not have an enclosure, it can be easily fitted into existing equipment or structural housings, such as kiosks. In addition, an open frame monitor gives users the freedom to design a custom bezel for individual projects or specific industry requirements. Open frame monitors can be used in a wide range of industrial and commercial industries, such as point-of-sale, industrial automation, surveillance systems, OEM, ATM machines, and much more.

Touch Screen Monitors - Overview
A touch screen acts as an interface between humans and computers in an automation control unit. Unlike keyboards or mice, touch screens provide convenience and user-friendly access to receive information from one computer to another. Touch screens work by detecting touch points according to physical relations and are divided into three types: Resistive type, Capacitive type, and Acoustic or Infrared. A resistive type touch screen consists of a glass panel and film screen that functions when a finger or other stylus produces voltage by way of pressure sensors. A capacitive type touch screen comes with a transparent electrode layer that relies on the electrical properties of the human body to detect when and where on a display the user touches. Lastly, the projected capacitive type touch screen, which is similar to the capacitive type touch screen, is composed of a sheet of glass with embedded transparent electrode films and an IC chip that supports multi-touch.
