Introduction

Overview

The Color Active-Matrix Mini-Touch Panels contain a 5.5" (139.70 mm) 256-color

mini-color liquid crystal display (LCD). The self-contained enclosures use a micro-

processor to control a wide range of multimedia equipment. Using the TPDesign3

Touch Panel design program, you create custom pages with buttons, icons, sliders,

bargraphs, time displays, logos, and drawings. Figure 1shows an AXD-MCV/PB

TiltScreen.

Figure 2lists the panel types and product names described in this manual.
