A Touchscreen is a display which can detect the location of touches within the display area
This allows the display to be used as an input device, for interacting with the display's content.
This can be added to your home computer Brings touch screen technology to the common user
Working Principle
A clear touch sensor is placed over the viewable video screen A controller (2) takes information from the touch screen (1)
The info is turned into information the computer can understand A software driver is needed to allow the touch screen and computer to work together (3)
Resistive Technology
Composed of several layer including two metallic layers separated from each other
Resistive Technology
When metallic layers are connected (touched) they act as like 2 voltage dividers Change in electric current is sent to controller and the location is determined
Resistive Technology
Advantages
Disadvantages
Capacitive Technology
Sensor has a precisely controlled field of stored electrons in horizontal and vertical directions A bare finger draws current from each corner of the electric field, creating a voltage drop that is measured to determine the touch location. The controller then determines the location
Capacitive Technology
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Requires bare finger or capacitive stylus (doesnt work with gloved hand) Severe scratch can affect operation within the damaged area
Disadvantages:
Does not work with everyday pen-tip, pencil tip. Does not support drag or draw effectively
Infrared Technology
An array of infrared sensors are placed horizontally and vertically The sensors send out pulses of light
Infrared Technology
Advantages:
High image clarity Responds to any input device
Disadvantages:
Does not work with everyday pen-tip, pencil tip. Does not support drag or draw effectively
