Touch Screen

Touch screen technology has evolved significantly since its inception in the 1960s. The document outlines the main components of a touch screen - the touch sensor, controller, and software driver. It then describes the main touch screen technologies - resistive, surface acoustic wave, and capacitive - comparing their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, it discusses how touch screens are now widely used in applications such as smartphones, tablets, ATMs, and point-of-sale systems.

Advantages of resistive touch screen technology..


Lower cost. Can operate with any pointing devices like stylus . not affected by any elements such as dust or water.

Disadvantages of resistive touch screen technology.


only 75% of light .
Resistive panel can be damaged by a very sharp objects

Surface wave Touch Screen:

Advantages of SAW touch screen technology..


High Resolution.
SAW technology provides superior image clarity.

transmits more than 92% of light. It has excellent durability.

Disadvantages of SAW touch screen technology..


It must be touched by finger, gloved hand and soft stylus, something hard like a pen, credit card or finger nail wont work.

Relatively expansive

affected by outside elements.

Capacitive Touch screen

Advantages of capacitive touch screen technology..


transmits more than 90% of light .
Visibility of the capacitive touch screen is good even in sunlight

Highly sensitive to finger touch leading to easy to use.


Capacitive touch screen can also implement multi touch.

Disadvantages of capacitive touch screen technology..


Can not be used with gloved hand and stylus.

Capacitive touch screen is more expensive
