How a privacy-filtered industrial touchscreen monitor can protect private information

An industrial touch monitor is invaluable in areas where there may be limited space or where you are in a common area, and the private content on the screen must be protected.  As one who works or accesses in an environment where private information is revealed, Caltron has ensured that we have the right products to protect users from incidents where their private information may be compromised.

How to make private information show safely in public applications

Over the last two decades, LCD screens have been greatly improved. Their viewing angles are much better and a departure from the conventional left and right viewing angles. This improvement has made it possible to keep information publicized on a screen invisible to those around. At the same time, LCD displays have also eliminated the worry about information being accessed by other people on a shared monitor.

For that reason, private information exposure on a screen need to be defended. Our first step was bringing in monitors that provide protection. The privacy-filtered industrial touch displays from Caltron provided the practical solution.  Privacy filters are polarized sheets of plastic that can be placed between an LCD screen and touch overlay to prevent anyone from seeing what is on the screen unless they are viewing it from straight on.

What kind of applications need privacy industrial touch displays

On industrial touchscreen monitors with privacy filters can be used to protect information like patient information on health care service cart, private information on bank ATMs, personal identity on the immigration passport scanning kiosk, ballot data on the voting machine, and traveler literary on train/air ticket dispenser.

Because in public area, input devices like a mouse, keyboard or any stylus are not allowed, as an input-output Human Machine Interface(HMI) device, touchscreen with privacy feature is the best solution. For example, the laptop carts used in a medical setting is a perfect place to have a privacy-protected industrial touchscreen. Protect not only patient information but also save valuable vehicle spaces.

Caltron can supply the privacy filters on all their open frame touch monitors they have provided. They have a range of displays for different industrial applications in various sizes, brightness levels, aspect ratios, and touch technologies.  With nearly 20 years experience, Caltron has proven itself to be the go-to company in this industry.
