Capacitive Touch Screens Go Large

Usually, (projected) capacitive touch screens are used for small display devices. It’s mainly due to EMI (electro-magnetic interference) problem when the touch screens become large. Even though such a difficulty, some companies have showed off large capacitive multi-touch touch screens in the market and media. Here are two examples.
