Comparison of Capacitive, Resistive and IP65 Waterproof Touch Screen

Advantages:

• Very accurate and responsive
• Can be used with a stylus or a finger
• No pressure is required

Disadvantages:

• Does not work with gloves or other non-conductive materials

How do Capacitive Touchscreens work?

Capacitive touchscreen displays work by detecting the electrical properties of the human body. When you touch the screen, your body’s natural capacitance is transferred to the touchscreen display. This change in capacitance is registered by the processor of the device as a touch pcs.

Capacitive touchscreen displays are made up of a thin sheet of glass that contains a grid of hair-thin lines of conductive metal. The grid lines in one direction are called the driving lines and provide a constant electric current. Lines perpendicular to the grid lines are called the sensing lines, and they detect this electric current.

At every point where the driving lines and sensing lines cross each other, they create an electrostatic field registered as neutral by the processor of the device. When you touch the screen, your body’s natural capacitance is transferred to the touchscreen display. This change in capacitance is registered by the processor of the device as a touch event.

Capacitive touch screen monitor 32-inch displays are highly accurate and responsive, making them ideal for use in industrial and commercial applications.

Resistive Touchscreen Displays

A resistive touchscreen display consists of a glass panel that is coated with transparent conductive material. The conductive material is separated from the glass by a thin layer of air. When a user presses on the screen, the conductive material makes contact with the glass and completes an electrical circuit. This process is known as mutual capacitance.
