Surface acoustic wave

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) is the optical standard of touch. Its pure glass construction provides superior optical performance and makes it the most scratch-resistant technology available. It's nearly impossible to physically "wear out" this touchscreen. SAW is widely used in kiosk, gaming, and office automation applications and is available in both single-touch and multi-touch, with a bezel and with a seamless zero-bezel design.
