Yes, "IR" is Infrared. There are emitters around the edge with detectors on the other side. Part of the bezel is transparent to IR and either the emitters and detectors poke up into that, or the bezel guides the IR beams. If the bezel, screen and emitters/detectors are not aligned properly, the beams won't be in the correct place and the touch won't work.
