A touch screen or a capacitive touch screen is simply the combination of an input and output device, where different types of input are made possible by the user touching the screen. The touch screen is usually an LCD or LED screen while the device is most commonly a tablet, laptop, or smartphone. Touch screens have many advantages over resistive touchscreens that make them more appealing to the mass market. However, it is important to know the differences between these two kinds of touch screen technology before you decide if you want one or not.

One obvious difference between a touch screen and a resistive touch screen lies in the way the finger interacts with the screen. With a touch screen, you are able to interact with your virtual keyboard much like you would a real keyboard. You can also manipulate graphics, text, and video elements of your device using your finger. This interaction is done by detecting the light coming from your finger. This light is transformed by the human body into electrical impulses which are then picked up by the touch screen. Since the human body cannot create the same amount of pressure necessary to replicate the operation of a real key, most devices use a mechanism called capacitance.

Capacitive touch screen works under the principle of “capacitance” which is the difference between the electrical charge that is produced when you touch the screen and the actual electrical charge that is absorbed. This difference is actually what makes capacitive touch screen function. The electrical charge is produced when you touch the screen and is then picked up by the conductive components. The actual electrical charge is released when your finger releases the touch.

Resistive touch screen works under the principle of “resistive” which simply states that the actual touch will not make any change in the image on the screen unless it actually passes over a thin layer of a conductive material called the resistive layer. When you touch the screen, the pixel that is touch is generated and then the resistive layer is broken and the result is an electrical signal. This electrical signal is then sent to the computer through the touch sensor itself. This kind of screen differs from capacitive touch screen because the actual touch of the finger is necessary to generate the electrical signal.

Both types of touch screen operate on the same principles but provide different results. Capacitive touch screen operates using the principle of the piezoelectric effect, which is a nonlinear transfer of electric current from a charge to an area. In the case of capacitive touch screen, the finger slips in between two plates that are charged conductive. A current then flows from the middle area, through the finger, through the resistive layer, into the computer’s motherboard where it is interpreted as a computer key. While this is a nonlinear process, the results are often better than those of capacitive touch screen.

Tempered Glass is another option for touch screen protectors but it has its own disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage of tempered glass is that it is more susceptible to scratches. This can be overcome by buying special screen protectors that have some form of anti-glare coating. However, since the anti-glare coating is generally quite expensive, most manufacturers do not bother with screen protectors having this coating.

Touch screen protector is also available in the form of specialized equipment. This specialized equipment is manufactured in order to meet the specific needs of users such as for industrial, medical and automotive applications. Among the specific needs of these equipment are oscilloscopes, optical measurements equipment and ultrasound equipment.

Many manufacturers of touch screens have integrated digital LED technology into their touch screens. This allows them to use the touch screen for a wider range of applications including digital signage and touch screen displays on cell phones. Touch screen is indeed a great innovation as it provides a fast and efficient way to interact with the computer or other devices. However, users should exercise care when using their touch phones because it is very easy to break a finger accidentally or to drop something that could damage the phone.
