The Clear Choice for Optics, Reliability, and Ease of Integration
3M™ MicroTouch™ Display C1500SS
The 3M MicroTouch Display C1500SS (15”), a robust metal chassis
display using 3M's industry-standard surface capacitive touch tech-
nology, provides a durable, optically-enhanced, and cost competi-
tive alternative to 5-wire resistive displays used in industrial automa-
tion equipment and kiosk enclosures. The C1500SS display offers
multiple mounting options to make integration easy and a variety of
bezel options for sealing against liquids and other contaminants. A remote
on-screen display module helps simplify any changes to the display
image during installation or system maintenance.
The Clear Choice
The C1500SS display utilizes an all-glass surface capacitive touch sensor
with the proprietary 3MTM ClearTekTM Hard Coat to deliver superior durability,
91.5% light transmission, 225-nit brightness (with touch screen), 500:1
contrast ratio and an ultra-fast 5.4 millisecond touch contact time.
Multiple Mounting and Bezel Options
Multiple mounting and bezel options enable customers to meet their
application needs at minimal cost. The C1500SS display offers a 75mm
VESA pattern to provide arm mounting capability for industrial automation
equipment. This minimizes the capital expenditure needed to upgrade
equipment with touch. L-brackets (standard) or a VESA mounting bracket
(optional) are available for installations requiring the touch display to be
fully enclosed.
The C1500SS display offers three bezel options. The Slimline bezel
is flush with the edges of the display and is ideal for arm-mounted
applications. The Contour Flanged bezel provides a lip to cover the air
gap between the touch display and the enclosure opening. These two
plastic bezels are ideal for solutions that require a NEMA 1 seal rating.
The Industrial Flanged bezel, a metal gasketed bezel, enables kiosks or
others enclosures to support NEMA 4X / IP66 seal ratings.

Total Touch Solution
Benefit
• Provides 91.5% light transmission as compared to 80% for certain 5-wire resistive solutions
• Unaffected by UV light that can cause degradation of optics and yellowing of lm-based touch sensors over time
• No moving parts improves reliability
• Inherently free from the appearance of “Newton Rings”
• Proprietary coating is uniformly heat infused into the glass creating a non-permeable barrier for increased
scratch and chemical resistance
• Low surface energy coating promotes smooth nger drag
• Unaffected by surface contaminants
• Unlike other touch display manufacturers that utilize 3rd party touch sensors, electronics, and or software in their
design, 3M owns, understands, and warranties the entire system for an unlimited amount of touches for 3 years
Recommended Applications
• Industrial Automation • Security Systems
• Self Service • Point-of-Information (POI)
• Hospitality • Home Automation
Cost Effective
The C1500SS display uses an all-glass touch sensor with no moving
parts, whereas 5-wire resistive solutions rely on compressing the top
lm layer against a conductive coating to recognize touch. Since force is
required to activate a resistive touch sensor it is susceptible to mechanical
wear and the appearance of “Newton Rings” which can potentially reduce
product life and optical performance.
The C1500SS touch display operates reliably in the presence of on-screen
contaminants and carries a 3-year “unlimited touches” warranty.
