Touch screens have become extremely common in our daily lives. Touch panels are used in devices to allow user interaction without the use of a keyboard or mouse. But did you know that there are a few distinct types of touch screens? Resistive, surface capacitance, projected capacitance, surface acou

1. What is a resistive touch screen?Resistive touchscreens operate by applying pressure to the screen. A resistive screen is made up of several layers. When the screen is pressed, the outer layer is pushed onto the next layer; the technology detects this and registers input. Because they can be oper

What are the advantages of a resistive touch screen? Resistive touchscreens operate by sensing direct pressure applied by the user. It can be activated by pressing it not only with a finger but also with a stylus (unlike the competing capacitive technology). A resistive touch screen consists of a to
