What Are the Types of Resistive Touch Screens

Capacitive touch screen technology is the use of the human body's current induction to work. Capacitive touch screen is a four-layer composite glass screen, the inner surface of the glass screen and the interlayer is coated with a layer of ITO, the outermost layer is a thin layer of silica glass protection layer, the interlayer ITO coating as a working surface, four corners lead to four electrodes, the inner layer of ITO for the shielding layer to ensure a good working environment. So what are the advantages of capacitive touch screen?

1. Capacitive touch screen only need to touch, and do not need pressure to generate signals.

2. Capacitive touch screen in the production of only once or completely do not need to correct, while resistive technology requires conventional correction.

3. The capacitive solution of capacitive touch screen will last longer because the components in capacitive touch screen do not need any movement. Resistive touch screen, the upper layer of ITO film needs to be thin enough to be flexible in order to bend down to contact the ITO film below.

4. Capacitive touch screen using capacitive technology is better than resistive technology in terms of light loss and system power consumption.

5. The choice of capacitive or resistive technology depends mainly on the object touching the screen. If the finger touch, capacitive touch screen is a better choice. If you need a stylus, whether it is plastic or metal, resistive touch screen can be competent. Capacitive touch screen can also use a stylus but need a special stylus to match.

6. Capacitive touch screen, surface capacitive type can be used for large size touch screen, and the phase into the lower, but now can not support gesture recognition: inductive capacitive type is mainly used for small and medium size touch screen, and can support gesture recognition.

7. Capacitive touch screen wear-resistant, long life, low maintenance costs for users, so the overall operating costs of manufacturers can be further reduced.

8. Capacitive touch screen is to support multi-touch technology, and unlike resistive touch screen response is slow and not easy to wear.
