Wacom STU-500 LCD Signature Pad
The Wacom STU-500 is a 5.0″ monochrome signature pad with a 640 x 480 transflective display — enough resolution to render small text sharply and enough room for the longest signatures. The large screen can also display images, text, soft keys or menu buttons alongside the signing area.

- Display Resolution: 640 x 480 pixels
- Reading Technology: Electromagnetic Resonance (EMR)
- Signing surface: Hardened, highly scratch-resistant glass
- Communication interface: USB (serial connectivity available as an option)
- Data encryption: Available as an option
- 1 Year Warranty
Streamline your workflow and transition to a seamless, paperless environment with the Wacom STU-500 Signature Pad. Its larger display suits document-heavy counters in banking, insurance and government where terms, prompts or soft keys need to appear next to the signature field.
The reflective TFT display provides easy viewing even in bright lighting conditions, and the hardened glass signing surface is extremely durable and highly resistant to scratches.
The Wacom STU-500 captures legally binding electronic handwritten signatures, with data encryption available as an option for organisations with stricter security requirements. The application software of the Signature Set is sign pro PDF. The software allows electronic registration of handwritten signatures and their integration into PDF documents. The software not only records the signature image that is displayed on the tablet or screen, but also the non-visible biometric data such as pressure, travel and speed. Subsequently, the document and the signature can not be modified and are protected securely. Then, the document can be saved, printed or sent.

Secure Digital Signature Capture for Business
- The STU-500 is built for counters where the signer needs context, not just a box to sign in. Its 640 x 480 resolution provides sharp viewing of the smallest text and ample space for even the longest signatures.
- The large screen offers the flexibility to display images and text, or to incorporate soft keys and menu buttons directly into the signing experience.
Built for Secure Electronic Signatures
- Wacom EMR technology provides a maintenance-free electronic pen with no batteries to charge or replace, reducing the running cost of a large deployment.
- Data encryption is available as an option, and serial data connectivity can be specified where the environment requires it rather than standard USB.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Wacom STU-500 used for?
It captures handwritten electronic signatures on a 5-inch monochrome screen at 640 x 480 — enough resolution to render small text sharply and enough room for the longest signatures, plus soft keys or menu buttons beside the signing area.
Why choose the STU-500 over a smaller pad?
Screen real estate. The 640 x 480 display can show images, text, soft keys or menu buttons alongside the signature field, which suits document-heavy counters where the signer needs context rather than just a box to sign in.
Does the STU-500 support encryption?
Data encryption is available as an option rather than standard. If encryption is a firm requirement for your deployment, tell us and we will confirm the exact configuration before quoting.
Can the STU-500 connect over serial instead of USB?
Yes. Serial data connectivity is available as an option on this model, which occasionally matters for older point-of-sale or terminal environments that cannot take a USB HID device.
Is the STU-500 a current model?
It is an earlier model in the STU range. For new deployments the STU-540 is the usual recommendation — colour, 800 x 480, 1024 pressure levels and Citrix support. The STU-500 remains documented for organisations already running it.
Are signatures captured on the STU-500 legally valid in the UAE?
Yes. Electronic signatures are recognised under the UAE Electronic Transactions and Trust Services Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 46 of 2021). The pad supports compliance by capturing the biometric characteristics of the signature — the evidence used to verify a signer if a signature is ever challenged.
Can developers integrate the STU-500 with our systems?
The Wacom Ink SDK for signature, previously published as the STU SDK. It returns the signature with its biometric data to your application rather than a flat image, and Wacom publishes documentation and sample code on GitHub so your team can evaluate the integration first. If you would rather not build anything, sign pro PDF does the job with no development.
How much does the Wacom STU-500 cost in the UAE?
Pricing depends on quantity, whether you need a sign pro PDF licence bundled, and any integration work. Request a quote and we will price hardware, software and development as one figure, with UAE delivery and local support included.
Need this configured for your workflow?
Tell us what you sign, how often, and which system it lives in. We will specify the hardware, software and integration — with UAE pricing.
