Touch screen is a combined input and output device through which a technical device can be controlled directly by touch.

The Technology Behind Touch Screen

 

By dragging your finger or stylus on a touch screen, a drag and drop operation can be performed. Some systems can handle multiple simultaneous touches – multi-touch, for example, to rotate or scale displayed images.  There are several operating principles for the implementation of the sensitivity :

  • Resistive systems
  • Capacitive systems
  • Inductive Systems
  • Surface Acoustic Wave
  • Optical systems
  • Dispersive Signal Technology

 

Touch Screen

 

A Resistive touch screen responds to pressure, which connects two electrically conductive layers in places. The layers of Touch Screen thus form a voltage divider to which the electrical resistance is measured to determine the position.

A capacitive touch screen is a transparent metal oxide coated glass substrate. A voltage applied to the corners of the coating of the Touch Screen set to produce a constant uniform electric field. In case of contact, it results in a low charge discharge, which is measured in the discharge cycle in the form of a stream at the corners. Capacitive touch screen can only work with the bare fingers and is most commonly used technology for the lower to mid range Tablet PCs.
