Solving Touch in the Rain: How Fannal’s Waterproof Touch Screen Monitor Excels in Harsh Conditions

A client recently asked: Can your touch screen work reliably in the rain?

That’s a tough challenge for most manufacturers of waterproof touch screens.

In most cases, it’s possible to adjust the sensitivity of the touch sensor using the configuration software provided by the original chip vendor. By reducing the sensitivity and relying on the chip’s built-in waterproof algorithm, basic waterproof touch functionality can be achieved.

But what if the requirements get tougher?

Let’s say the user needs to operate the touch screen in the rain with a thick glass cover (e.g. 2mm or more) and while wearing gloves. In such conditions, simply lowering sensitivity may cause the screen to completely stop responding. Glove touch + rain + thick cover is not something you solve with a few basic settings.

For such high-demand environments, you need to go deeper — specifically, you need to access the chip vendor’s API or SDK, and modify the touch logic at the code level. The problem is: most chip vendors do not share their source code. That makes real adaptation nearly impossible.

So, how does Fannal solve it?

At Fannal, we’ve been a design partner of Microchip, one of the world’s leading touch controller companies, since 2018.

This means we have full access to source-level debugging and have completed dozens of projects with complex waterproof and glove-use requirements.

We have already achieved:

Touch through 10mm thick tempered glass

Stable waterproof touch + glove operation

Adaptation for industrial, outdoor, and medical environments

In this test, we demonstrate glove touch in heavy water spray, with fast, accurate, and stable response.

If you are looking for a Waterproof Touch Screen Monitor that can handle more than just a splash — or if you need a custom waterproof touch screen or waterproof display — Fannal is ready to help.

Let us show you what real waterproof performance looks like.
