The application of touchscreens in the public and healthcare sectors is increasing worldwide. Their use by different people allows the unintentional spread of pathogens. The combination of UVC LEDs and a quartz plate appears to make it possible to rapidly and automatically disinfect touchscreens between different users without harming the human operator.
