PRESENTATION ON TOUCH TECHNOLOGY

Presented by:- ARTH S MEHTA


INTRODUCTION
A touch screen is an electronic visual
display that can detect the presence
and location of a touch within the
display area. Touch screens can sense
Finger and other passive objects,
such as a stylus.
However, if the object sensed is active,
as with a light pen.
HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT
• In 1971 Dr. Sam Hurst, founder of Elographics developed the first
touch opaque sensor “Elograph” (Electronic Graphics) at the
University of Kentucky.
• In 1974 He developed the first real touch screen.
• In 1977, Elographics developed the five-wire resistive technology then
with the backing of Siemens Corporation, developed a curved glass
sensor called the touch screen.
• The new transparent technology, AccuTouch, was later developed by
the founders of Elographics, Dr. Hurst and Bill Colwell
HOW DOSE A TOUCH SCREEN WORKS?
Main touch screen components:
• Touch sensor
• Controller
• Software driver
TOUCH SENSOR
• A touch screen sensor is a clear glass panel with a touch responsive
surface which is placed over a display screen so that the responsive
area of the panel covers the viewable area of the display screen.
• The sensor generally has an electrical current or signal going through
it and touching the screen causes a voltage or signal change. This
voltage change is used to determine the location of the touch to the
screen
CONTROLLER
• The controller is a small PC
card that connects between the
touch sensor and the PC. It takes
information from the touch sensor
and translates it into information
that PC can understand.
SOFTWARE DRIVER
• The driver is a software that allows the touch screen and computer to
work together. It tells the operating system how to interpret the touch
event information that is sent from the controller.
TYPES OF TOUCH TECHNOLOGIE
There are mainly 4 types of touch Technologies:-

1.Resistive

2. Surface acoustic wave

3. Capacitive

4. Infrared
RESISTIVE
resistive touch screen panel is composed
of several layers, the most important of which
are two thin, metallic, electrically conductive
layers separated by a narrow gap. When an object,
such as a finger, presses down on a point on the
panel's outer surface the two metallic layers become
connected at that point. This causes a change in the
electrical current, which is registered as a touch event
and sent to the controller for processing. It is used in
Grocery Stores, Hotels, Restaurants and Retail Stores.
SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVE(SAW)
• Acoustic is related to sound or the sense of hearing.

• Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology uses ultrasonic waves that pass over the
touch screen panel. When the panel is touched, a portion of the wave is absorbed.
This change in the ultrasonic waves registers the position of the touch event and
sends this information to the controller for processing. SAW touch screen
technology is suggested for use in ATMs, Amusement Parks, Gaming
Environments, Industrial Control Rooms etc.

• One Disadvantage is : Moving liquids or condensation can cause false touches

• Advantages are : Durable glass Constructor


• High Optical Clarity
CAPACITIVE
• A capacitive touch screen panel consists
of an insulator such as glass, coated with a
transparent conductor such as
indium tin oxide (ITO). As the human body
is also a conductor, touching the surface of
the screen results in a distortion of the body’s
electrostatic field, measurable as a change
in capacitance.

Disadvantage: Dose not work with gloved figure

Advantages: Very Accurate , Liquide dose not Effect screen Performance


INFRARED
• An infrared touch screen uses an array
of X-Y infrared LED and photo detector
pairs around the edges of the screen to
detect a disruption in the pattern of LED
beams. Infra-red bezels have proven to be
a very reliable technology for use in ATMs,
Medical Instrumentation and Transportation
Tracking applications.
ADVANTAGES
• A touch screen is easy to use
• Touch screens are the fastest pointing devices.
• Touch screens have easier hand eye coordination than buttons.
• Touch screens are durable in public access and in high volume usage.
DISADVANTAGES
• Screen has to be really big not to miss things when pressing them with
your finger:
• Big screen leads to low battery life.
• Screens get very dirty.
• These devices require massive computing power which leads to slow
devices.
