LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

As smart phone and tablet use increases significantly worldwide and user touch expectations extend beyond personal devices to desktop and public displays, 3M Touch Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of 3M Company, announces the availability of two new high performance multi-touch displays that extend tablet-like responsiveness to larger, interactive displays. Offered as the 24-inch 3M Multi-Touch Display M2467PW (20 touches) and the 27-inch 3M Multi-Touch Display M2767PW (40 touches), these multi-touch displays take interactive display technology to the next level with uncompromising multi-touch performance, brilliant high-definition graphics powered by LED backlights, wide viewing angles and elegant smart phone-like product design. In addition, the 27-inch M2767PW multi-touch display with ultra-fast 40-touch capability is ideal for multi-user applications, such as digital signage and product selectors.

These new displays are part of an expanding 3M multi-touch display offering that already include desktop products -- 3M Multi-Touch Display M2167PW (21.5) and 3M Multi-Touch Display M1866PW (18.5) -- and chassis products -- 3M Multi-Touch Display C3266PW (32) and 3M Multi-Touch Display C2254PW (22).

These new multi-touch desktop displays and other multi-user collaborative products and exhibits are on display at 3Ms InfoComm 2012 booth (#N1841 in North Hall). Visit the 3M Touch Systems virtual InfoComm 2012 booth at http://www.3m.com/multitouch/infocomm.

Smart phone and tablet interactivity is now driving users expectations for touch, so they expect that any interactive display they encounter will have the same degree of responsiveness, says Diego Romeu, business operations manager, 3M Touch Systems. 3Ms high performance multi-touch displays meet or exceed their touch response expectations which makes this extensive product offering an ideal fit for this expanding group of touchscreen users.

Based on 3Ms Projected Capacitive Technology (3M PCT), these multi-touch displays offer the unique ability to recognize and reject the users palms or arms resting on the touchscreen to help prevent inadvertent touches while also maximizing multi-touch functionality. Plus, these displays feature a 3M-proprietary anti-stiction surface treatment that allows a users fingers to effortlessly glide across the screen for smoother gesturing and accurate draw capabilities.

These 3M multi-touch displays also feature an aesthetic flat front surface industrial design that allows easy touch access in the screen edges and corners not possible with a traditional bezel display, making them an attractive addition to any professional or retail environment. Featuring a sturdy and robust base, the display can accommodate a full 90-degree position range for more viewing flexibility while providing an inviting horizontal surface for multi-user on-screen collaboration. These displays are Windows 7 compatible and 3M offers drivers for Windows XP, Linux and Mac operating systems.

All 3M multi-touch displays are available from leading distributors (BlueStar, Ingram Micro, ScanSource, SYNNEX, and Tech Data), popular on-line retailers, and 3Ms on-line store, http://www.Shop3M.com.
