8.0 inch capacitive touch panel
8 inch is the smallest panel we build, and it exists for handheld terminals and compact HMIs whose enclosure is already tooled. Below this size the FPC bonding margin eats most of the border, so we stop here.
FOB Shenzhen, G+G panel with controller and 1.8 m USB cable, 1–50 pcs. Custom coating, glass thickness and printed border quoted on drawing.
8.0 inch panel, G+G or G+FF
OD 188 × 124 mm, active area 172 × 108 mm, printed border 8 mm. The controller is bonded and tested against this exact panel before packing, so the pair arrives calibrated rather than needing a setup step at your line.
- OD 188 × 124 mm · VA 172 × 108 mm · border 8 mm
- 6 H glass, 10-point, USB / I2C / RS232 controller included
- 386 pcs in stock
Controller included. Every panel ships with a matched controller, flashed and tested against that panel — not a generic board.
FPC tail. The tail can leave on any of the four sides, same-side or opposite-side contact, without changing the outline.
Three numbers, not one
Unlike an infrared frame, a capacitive panel is defined by three dimensions. The OD is the outside of the glass and is what your housing is cut to. The VA is the visible area your UI is designed against. The sensor is the ITO pattern inside the printed border.
| Outline (OD) | 188 × 124 mm |
| Active area (VA) | 172 × 108 mm |
| Sensor | 180 × 116 mm |
| Printed border | 8 mm typical, 6 mm minimum |
Typical builds at this size: handheld terminal, compact hmi, portable instrument.
Solid outline = OD 188 × 124 mm · dashed = VA active area 172 × 108 mm

What happens after the carton is open
A capacitive panel needs no calibration — the sensor is bonded to the glass, so the coordinates are geometry rather than measurement. What it does need is the right settings for your glass stack, and a bonding process that does not trap air.
Plug and play over USB
Windows, Android, Linux and ChromeOS pick it up as a HID touch digitizer with nothing installed. I2C and RS232 versions available for boards without a USB host.
Firmware tuned to your stack
Threshold, report rate, edge suppression and ESD level are set for the cover glass you specify — then shipped as a settings file you can clone across a batch.
Bonding and install guidance
OCA versus tape versus air gap, FPC bend radius, shield grounding under 4 Ω. We will join the first bonding run by video if it is your first one.
8.0 inch panel questions
What are the OD, VA and sensor sizes of the 8.0 inch panel?
Can I change the cover glass thickness?
Is a controller and cable included?
What is the lead time?
Is this a capacitive touch screen or only a panel?
Panel, screen or TP — one stack-up, three labels
Three labels cover the same object: capacitive touch panel, capacitive touch screen and capacitive touch TP. TP is shorthand for touch panel, and it survives in Chinese-authored drawings and in BOMs that were copied from one. All three mean cover glass, ITO sensor, FPC tail and a matched controller — no LCD, no housing, no software.
