What Is AM-TFT LCD Technology?
The MicroTouch flat-panel displays use active-matrix thin-film
transistor (AM-TFT) liquid cr ystal display (LCD) technology.
With AM-TFT LCD technology, a flat-panel display shows a video
image b y us in g a matrix (r ows by columns ) of tiny liqu id c rystal cells.
The cells create the pixels (picture elements) that make up the image.
To be more exact, a cell actually exists for each color of each pixel on
the display. Each pixel is made up of three colors, or sub-pixels (red,
green, and blue).
Each cell ha s a thin-film transistor switch to tur n a pixe l on o r off.
Th e a b ility to tur n on a sing le p ixel and turn off its neighboring p ix els
results in an image with exceptional contrast and sharpness. Also, the
t hin-film tr ansistors let the sys tem a dd ress an d c on trol each sub-pixel
ind iv idually. The result is a fast r es ponse time in displayin g the image.
Video Resolution on a Flat-Panel Display
Flat-panel displays, unlike CRTs, are optimized to run at one
resolution. A flat-panel display has discrete points on the display that
determine the exact location of a pixel. Each flat-panel display has an
exact number of pixels associated with it. There is a one-to-one
mapping b etw ee n the n umber of pixels and the video add ressab ility,
some times ca lled resolutio n.
Native Video Resolution (1024 x 768)
A flat-panel display is intended to be used only at the resolution
dictated by the number of pixels on the panel. For example, the 13.8"
and 15.0" Profile and ChassisTouch monitors have 1024 pixels across
the screen and 768 lines of pixels down the screen. Therefore, these
flat-panel displays can accurately display one resolution (1024 x 768)
at full screen.
Page 19
Chapter 1 Introduc tion to Flat-Panel Displays 19
Options for Using Other Video Resolutions
The MicroTouch 13.8" and 15.0" Profile and ChassisTouch monitors
have a 1024 x 768 (XGA) flat-panel display.
If you use a resolution that is less than
the number of pixels res ident on the
flat-panel d isplay, the monito r will sh ow
t he image u sing only the total numb er o f
pixels generated by the source. For
example, the monitor uses only 800
pixels across and 600 lines of pixels
down the screen when displaying an
SVGA (800 x 600) resolution. The
remaining pixels are n ot used . In th is
case, the monitor preserves t he image
quality, but do es not use th e e ntire screen. Y ou w ill see a h igh-quality
image centered in the display and surrounded by a black border of
unused pixels.
You can use the monitor’s on-screen contr ols to expand the image to
fill t he entire screen. To fill a 1024 x 768 flat-panel, the monitor
expands an 800 x 600 resolution by 1.25 and a 640 x 480 resolution
by 1.6. In both cases, the monitor spreads fewer pixels of information
across a larger number of pixels. Although this technique produces an
image th at fills the entire screen , the ima ge will be distor ted . The
pixels will ta ke on a b roa der or fuzz ier ap pe ar ance.
The MicroTouch 13.8" and 15.0" FPD monitors support t he 800 x 600
(SVGA) and 640 x 480 (VGA) resolutions primarily for compatibility
and monitor setu p. Many vide o ca rds initially d isp lay a scre en imag e
at the SVGA or VGA resolution. By supporting these resolutions, the
monitor can display the desktop controls that let you change to the
optimal resolution of 1024 x 768.
Page 20
20 FPD Touch Monitors Installation Guide
Comparing Video Resolution on a CRT
The CRT is an analog device. There are no discrete po ints on t he
screen that const itute a pixel. Instead, a CRT has a smooth phosphor
surface inside the tube. CRT technology uses an electron beam to
stimulate the phosphor surface to emit light and display an image. The
location of points on the screen is determined by the coordinate system
in which the electron beam is working — not by physical constraints
used on the front surface of the display. As a result, a CRT can
display differen t resolutions without compromising ima ge quality.

CHAPTER 2
Setting Up Your FPD Touch Monitor
This chapter describes how to set up your MicroTouch FPD touch
monitor. You need to complete the following tasks:
• Unpack the components
• Check that a video card and the video software driver are already
installed in your sys tem
• Connect the video, touchscreen, and power cables
• Power on the monitor and test your setup
• Install the touchscreen software
• Calibrate the touchscreen
Page 22
22 FPD Touch Monitors Installation Guide
System Requirements
The Profile and ChassisTouch flat-panel touch monitors require a
personal computer (PC). These touch monitors are not supported on
Macintosh computers.
The requirements for your PC are as follows:
• Your PC must have an available RS-232 serial communication
(COM) port. You connect the to uchscreen to this port.
• Your PC must have a unique interrupt request (IRQ) available to
t he COM port that the touchs creen will use. The touchscre en
cannot share an IRQ with another device.
• If the only serial port available on your PC has 25 pins, you will
need a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter.
• Your PC must have a video card and video driver already installed
for the monitor. If you need to install a video card o r a video
driver, refer to your computer do cumentation for instructions.
• Th e vide o card must be compatib le w ith the dis pla y timin gs listed
in T able 2 .
When choosing your work space, select a stur dy, level surface. Also,
make sure you can easily access the back of the touch monitor and t he
computer. E asy access helps ensure a smooth setup of the t ouch
monitor.
Note:
Before setting up your touch monitor, refer to the “Installation
Warnings and Safety Precautions” section at the beginning of this
document.

Installing the Video Card and Video Driver
Before you can connect your to uch monitor, make sure your computer
has a video card already installed for the monitor. After you connect
the monitor, you need to install the video software driver. The video
driver is supplied by the video card manufacturer and may be found on
the diskettes that came with your computer.
If you need information on in stalling a video card or vide o dr iver, refe r
to the manual that came with your video card.
Supported Video Display Modes and Refresh Rates
Your video card must support o ne of the display modes specified in
Table 2. If yo u select an unsupported video mode, the monitor will
stop wo r king or display unsatisfactory picture quality.
The 13.8" and 15.0" Profile and ChassisTouch monitors have a
1024 x 768 flat-panel display. The ideal settings for these monitors are
as follows:
• Display Mode: 1024 x 768
• Refresh Rate: 60 Hz
• Color Depth: at least 16-bit (high color)
The 13.8" and 15.0" FPD monitors also support 800 x 600 (SVGA)
and 640 x 480 (VGA) resolutions. They suppo r t these resolutions
prima rily for compatibility an d monitor setu p. Many vide o cards
initially dis pla y a screen ima ge at the SVGA or VGA re solution. By
supporting these resolutions, the monitor can display the desktop
contro ls that let you change to the optimal resolution of 1024 x 768.

Each video card has several controls that let you adjust the display
settings. However, the software and driver for each video card is
unique. In most cases, you adjust t hese set tings by using a program or
utility pr ov ide d by th e ma nufacturer of the video card.
Most video cards use the Windows Display P r opert ies contr ol panel to
configure the display. The Settings tab usually lets you change the
Color Palette and the Desktop Area (x by y pixel r esolution).
Page 27
Chapter 2 Setting Up Your FPD T ouc h M onitor 27
Some video cards integrate additional features into the
Window s Display Proper ties c ontrol pane l to give you
an exceptional setup that is flexible and easy to use. Fo r
example, the contro l panel may include an Advanced
Properties button, an Adjustment tab, or a Refresh tab
for changing other s ettings. Other video c ard s ha ve a
se pa rate utility for setting displa y proper ties.
Whenever you change the resolution, color, or r efresh
rate, the image size, position, or shape may change.
This behavior is normal. You can readjust the image
us ing th e monitor con trols. F or more in forma tion on the monitor
controls, refer to Chapter 3. For more information on configuring the
display settings, refer to the manual that came with your video card.

calibrate the touchscreen. Calibration
serves two p u r p oses:
• Sets the act ive area of the
touchscreen
• Aligns t he t ouchscreen’s active area
to the underlying video
Calibration aligns t he act ive touch-sensitive area of the touchscreen
with the video image on the display. Calibration also determines the
edges of the screen’s image and locates the center of the touchscreen.
If the screen is not calibrated properly, the active area of the
touc hs c reen may not be aligned w ith the video or may be unnec e s sarily
sma ll in size.
To calibrate the touchscreen, o p en t he Touchscreen control panel and
select Calibrate. Follow the directions displayed on the screen. For
mo re information on calib ratio n, re fer t o the online h elp or the u ser
documentation for TouchWare.
Note:
Before calibrating the touchscreen, let the monitor warm up for
several minutes and then center the video image within the screen area.
Also, always calibrate the to uchscreen at the monitor video reso lution
t hat your touch app lica tion will u se.

Adjusting the Clock and Phase Values
The Clock value defines the frequency of the pixel sampling clock. It
is impo rtant that this freque n cy c losely match the origina l pixel clock
generating the analog video signal.
The Phase value synchro nizes the relative phase of the pixel sampling
clock to the incoming video signal.
If the Clock or Phase value is incorrect , the screen image may display
one or more vertical bars (noise). The screen image may also flicker
or seem out of focus.
Because both the Clock value and the Phase value can affect the noise
level, the basic ru le for eliminating noise is as follows:
• First, adjust the C lock value until th e nois e is uniform a cross t he
entire scree n. (Yo u ma y not be able to elimin ate the n oise by
adjusting only the Clock setting.)
• Th en, adjust th e Pha se setting to eliminate th e nois e. T he Phase
value synchronizes the clock to the incoming video signal.

Note:
If the video out put of your computer is the same as the video
t iming spec ified in Table 2, th e or iginal Clock setting usua lly works
well. Therefore, you may only need to adjust t he Phase setting to
eliminate no ise.

Adjusting the Brightness and Contrast Values
The B right ne s s setting det ermines the black leve l of the monitor.
• If you s et the va lu e too high or too bright , t he monitor c annot
produce black. The result is a washed out image.
• If you set the brightness value too low, the monitor produces the
dimmer grays as bla ck . The r esult is an image w ith very low
contr ast.
Adjust t he s creen brightness for the typical brightnes s leve l in t he
roo m. Also, look near the edges of the screen. The edge is the best
place to determine if the background is actually black or merely gray.
Once you set the Brightness, the Contrast setting determines the white
level of the screen image. It defines the contrast between foreground
and background (the range between the lightest tones and the darkest
t on es in an imag e) . The optimum w hite level dep ends on room
lighting. Try to set the Contrast to the highest intensity that is
comfortable to you.

Adjusting the White Balance
You can also adjust the white balance of an image by adjusting the red,
green, and blue signal individually. Use the R-CONT, G-CONT, and
B-CON T settin gs to ad jus t red in tensity, green in tensity, and blue
intensity re sp ec tively.
You can adjust the color o f white that results from equal combinat ions
of the red, green, and blue primary colors. This color white is often
referred to as a neutral white.
Th e c olor w h ite c an vary from a warm wh ite with a mild pinkish t int
(more red th an b lue ) to a cool white with a mild bluish tint (more blue
than red). The co nt r ol works by adjusting the relative strengths of the
red, green, and blue primary colors.

Expanding the Image Size
The native or intended resolution for the MicroTouch 13.8" and 15.0"
flat-panel monitor is 1024 x 768.
If you w ant to use a lower resolu tion , the monitor w ill show t he imag e
using only the tot al number of pixels generated by the source. For
example, the monitor uses only 800 pixels across and 600 lines of
pixels down the screen when displaying an SVGA (800 x 600)
resolution. The remaining pixels are not used. I n t his case, the
monitor pr eser ves t he image quality, but does no t use the entire
sc reen . You will see a high-q ua lity imag e center ed in the display an d
surrounded by a black border of unused pixels.
You can use the monitor’s on-screen contr ols to expand the image to
fill t he entire screen. To fill a 1024 x 768 flat-panel, the monitor
expands an 800 x 600 resolution by 1.25 and a 640 x 480 resolution
by 1.6. In both cases, the monitor spreads fewer pixels of information
across a larger number of pixels. Although this technique produces an
image th at fills the entire screen , the ima ge will be distor ted . The
pixels will ta ke on a b roa der or fuzz ier ap pe ar ance.
