The Clear Choice for Optics, Durability, and Touch Stability 
The 3M MicroTouch Display M1500SS (15”), a purpose-built, surface 
capacitive touch display, provides a cost-competitive touch alternative to 
5-wire resistive display solutions. The display offers a stable base, highly 
durable touch screen, brilliant optics and a cable management system, 
all in an elegant and simple-to-use design. This display easily integrates 
into numerous point-of-sale, PC, and thin client systems making it ideal 
for applications requiring long life, 24/7 uptime, and the assurance of a 
3-year “unlimited touches” warranty. Activated only by human touch, the 
M1500SS display eliminates inadvertent or false touches from jewelry, 
clothing, or handheld objects, making it the clear choice for applications 
where reliability is key. 
The Clear Choice
The M1500SS display utilizes an all-glass surface capacitive touch sensor 
and proprietary 3M
™ 
ClearTek
 Hard Coat to deliver superior durability, 
91.5% light transmission, 225-nit brightness (with touchscreen), 500:1 
contrast ratio, and an ultra-fast 5.4 millisecond touch response time.  
Rock-solid Display Base
The  M1500SS  display  is  designed  with  touch  in  mind  which  results 
in rock-solid touch stability even under rapidly repeating and/or heavy 
tapping. Most displays that were not designed for touch can wobble and/
or flex, potentially causing a double touch that can increase operator 
error and create an unsatisfactory customer experience. The M1500SS 
display has the flexibility to attach peripheral devices to the left or right 
of the display bezel and even maintains its touch stability when locked in 
position at display angles ranging from 0 to 60 degrees.  
Cost-Effective
The M1500SS display employs an all-glass touch sensor that has no 
moving parts, unlike 5-wire resistive solutions that rely on compression of 
the film and conductive coatings to recognize touch. Since force is required

Solution
3M ClearTek Hard Coat
Total Touch Solution
Benefit
•  Provides 91.5% light transmission as compared to 80% for certain 5-wire resistive solutions
•  Unaffected by UV light that can cause degradation of optics and yellowing of film-based touch sensors over time
•  No moving parts improves reliability
•  Inherently free from the appearance of “Newton Rings”
•  Proprietary coating is uniformly heat infused into the glass creating a non-permeable barrier for increased  
  scratch and chemical resistance
•  Low surface energy coating promotes smooth finger drag 
•  Unaffected by surface contaminants
•  Unlike other touch display manufacturers that utilize 3rd party touch sensors, electronics, and or software in their  
  design, 3M owns, understands, and warranties the entire system for an unlimited amount of touches for 3 years   
Recommended Applications
• Point of Sale (POS) 
• Unattended Environments
• Point of Service 
• Point of Information (POI)
• Kiosks 
• Hospitality
• Digital Signage 
• Financial
to activate a resistive touch screen, it is susceptible to mechanical wear 
and  the  appearance  of  “Newton  Rings”  which  can  potentially  reduce 
product  life  and  optical  performance.  This  rugged  M1500SS  touch 
display continues to operate in the presence of on-screen contaminants 
and carries 3-year “unlimited touch” warranty. In addition, 3M owns the 
design and tooling for the display thereby increasing control over the  
product life cycle and decreasing the possibility for an external change.
