Elo TouchSystems, Inc., the global leader in touch technology and a unit of Tyco Electronics, has been selected by funworld ag, the world's largest manufacturer of touchscreen games, to be the exclusive supplier of touchmonitors and touchscreen systems for funworld's full line of Photo Play and Touch2Web terminals. funworld ag will ship all its new SPIRIT 2.1 and Touch2Web terminals with a new 19-inch computer-grade CRT chassis touchmonitor developed by Elo. These monitors feature Elo's breakthrough iTouch "touch-on-tube" technology in a ready-to-install touchmonitor. With iTouch, Elo has eliminated the traditional touchscreen overlay so game graphics appear brighter and sharper with no added reflections. funworld has also converted its Photo Play bartop terminals, the SMART 2.1 and BARRY 2.1, to Elo's IntelliTouch technology based on pure glass touchscreen overlays. Elo has worked closely with funworld for nearly a year to perfect its core surface wave touch technology for use in gaming machines. The result is a touchmonitor that delivers perfect graphics performance, fast touch response, and remote monitoring features, with reliable performance even when subjected to the types of spills and abuse that can occur in gaming environments. Elo first announced its revolutionary iTouch technology for CRTs in the spring of 1999. Since then, it has featured the technology on its iMac with iTouch product and on its 19-inch and 21-inch Entuitive desktop CRTs. Recently, Elo rolled out iTouch across its line of 15-inch to 19-inch Entuitive rear mount CRTs for kiosk and gaming applications. The new 19-inch, 0.26mm dot pitch computer-grade chassis CRT is designed specifically for gaming applications and features a unique minibezel that covers all active components and maintains a watertight seal.
