A touch-sensitive apparatus operates by light frustration (FTIR) and comprises a light transmissive panel (1) that defines a front surface (5) and a rear surface (6), light emitters optically connected to the panel (1) so as to generate light that propagates by total internal reflection inside the panel, and light detectors (3) optically connected to the panel (1) so as to define a grid of propagation paths inside the panel (1) between pairs of light emitters and light detectors (3). Each of said light emitters is a VCSEL array, each said VCSEL array including a plurality of VCSELs driven in parallel to collectively form one light emitter. Preferably, each light detector (3) is optically connected to the panel (1) via an angular filter (20), tailored to pass light to the detector (3) in an angular range in which the emitters (2) operate. |
