Abstract
A non-conductive barrier between a touch screen and a conductive bezel is described. The non-conductive barrier attaches to a capacitive touch screen and forms a lip over a grounded bezel. The non-conductive barrier is constructed of a material and dimension sufficient to prevent liquid streaming down the touch screen from electrically coupling an active area of the touch screen to the grounded bezel.
