What Is A Resistive Touch Screen?

1) The resistive touch screen is a kind of sensor, which is basically a structure of thin-film and glass. The adjacent side of thin-film and glass is coated with ITO (nano indium tin oxide). ITO has good electrical conductivity and transparency. When touching the ITO in the lower layer of the film, it will touch the ITO in the upper layer of the glass, and send corresponding electrical signals through the sensor, which will be sent to the processor through the conversion circuit and converted into X and Y values on the screen through calculation, and the action of clicking will be completed and presented on the screen.

2) resistive touch screen works: mainly through pressure induction principle to realize the operation and control of screen contents, this kind of touch screen body part is a very cooperate with multi-layer composite membrane and display surface, including the first layer of glass or bottom of organic glass, the second layer of isolation layer, the third layer for multivariate resin surface, the surface is coated with a layer of the transparent conductive layer, the above with a layer of surface hardening treatment, then smooth scratch-resistant plastic layer. Generally speaking, the capacitive touch screen supports multi-touch human-computer interaction, while ordinary resistive touch screens can only touch a single point.

3) Resistive touch screen: all layers of the screen are in contact with pressure. Fingers (even with gloves on), fingernails, and stylus can be used for the operation. Stylus support is important in The Asian market, where gesture and word recognition are valued. Resistive touch screen, commonly known as “soft screen”, is mostly used in Windows Mobile phones; Capacitive touch screens, commonly known as’ hard screens, ‘are used in devices like the iPhone and G1.
