What is Touch Screen Technology

 
Touch Screen

The story of the screen starts from simple visual display and
reaches the touch screen technology, the latest technology ever
thought by human beings. The part of the screen’s story related
to touch screen is quite interesting. Its electronic visual display
responses when detect the touch at a certain place on the screen.
This touch is generally a slight pressure of human hand or finger.
This inactive thing could be a stylus or nail, however, you cannot
categorize the light pen with stylus being an active sensor.
Features

1. When anyone touches the naked screen directly

with the finger to the picture displays on it, will
response to that touch.

2. There is no need to hold anything in fingers

while intending to touch the screen. It is not a
harmful so that you need anything in your hand
to touch that screen.
Touch Screen Types

Resistive Touch screen

Conductive

Resistive

protective layer
For making the touch screen conductive and
resistive layer are place together with a space
between. This space allows the current to
pass through it when finger press the screen.

This current receive the information is then

processed into the desired action. The upper
layer on the glass is protection layer so that it
protects the screen from scratches in case of
odd resistance.
Advantages

 comparatively longer life.

 used in many different ways.

 very common type of touch screen.

 cheap and so approachable.

Disadvantages

 It emits less light as 75 % so fails to give

sharp image.

 Its appearance is bulky.

Capacitive Touch screen

A thin capacitor or electronically charge sheet

is placed on the glass. In response to the
finger touch some of the charge from the
capacitive layer shifts to the finger.
Advantages

 It emits 90% of light ray to make screen clear.

 It has long life because of the resistivity

Disadvantages

 They are sensitive only for the fingers touch

no other object like stylus can be sensed.
Surface acoustic Wave Touch screen

 Sending transducer

 Receiving transducer

 Reflectors layer
 When we touch the screen a wave produced
and transfer from one transducer to the
receiver where reflectors get the message.
This wave travels back to the specific place
and perform the action.
Advantages

 Because of this wave mechanism versatile

action can be done.

 Being no electric field created, it emits 100%

light resultantly quality image received.
Disadvantages

 They tend to have very short life.

 They are expensive so out of reach of a

common man.

 They can be easily damaged

Touch screen is mostly user-friendly and make your work quick and
easy.

In shopping mall, touch screen is an important accessory as it

makes the work easy for both customer and salesperson.
 In restaurant, menu placement, order point, booking system has
been replaced with touch screen technology.
When we go to ATM machine to draw money we have to feed information
this we can do by using the touch pad.
For the business presentation to demonstrate the point and
navigating by touching the display material.
Pre-cautionary measurements for using the touch screen

For avoiding the direct finger touch, fingernail touch is replaced but is
not applicable for capacitive touch screen. Fingernail has the characteristic
of not putting scratch on the screen.

 Stylus is a passive object used to operate touch screen. In many

sophisticated mobiles, I-pods, and computers have this accessory with
them. Stylus is also not scratching the screen.
