32” of potential: the curved touchscreen that shows you more

You see a curved touchscreen monitor. You might even be thinking how good it would look in your gaming rig. We see the painstaking mechanical stress needed to form the curve and how to calculate the limits of that stress. We see the film sensor and 3mm coverglass, optically bound to a TFT display. And the complexity of engineering both a backlight and laminating touch capability across the curve.

SimplePlus 7”: the unsung hero of touch displays
