2 Most sophisticated computer access

technology.

2 Detect the presence and location of a touch.

2 Eliminates the need for the mouse and

keyboard.
The touchscreen has two main attributes:

2 Enables to interact with what is displayed

on screen.

2 No intermediate devices required.

 m

2 Emerged in the second half of the 1960s.

2 In 1971, Sam Hurst, invented first touch

sensor

2 In 1977 , "touchscreen."

1) RESISTIVE:

2 Composed of two thin, metallic, conductive

layers.

2 Change in current is registered as touch

event.
 ADVANTAGES:

2 fingertip input.

2 Costs low.

2 Supports multi touch input.

2 Not affected by outside elements.

 DISADVANTAGES:

2 Offer only 75% clarity.

2 The layer can be damaged.

2 Cannot press hand down on the screen while

writing.
 2) SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVE:

2 Uses ultrasonic waves.

2 It is based on sending waves across a clear

glass panel with a series of transducers and
reflectors.
 ADVANTAGESa

2 High touch resolution.

2 Highest image clarity.

2 Glass panel.
 DISADVANTAGES:

2 Touched by finger, gloved

hand, or soft tip stylus.

2 Not completely sealable.

 Œ) CAPACITIVE:

2 Consists of insulator coated with a

transparent conductor.

2 Touching results in a distortion of the

electrostatic field.
 ADVANTAGES:

2 Not affected by outside elements.

2 high clarity.

2 Multi touch support available.

2 High touch resolution.

 DISADVANTAGES:

2 Must be touched by finger.

2 More expensive.
Surface capacitance:

2 Only one side of the insulator is coated

with a conductive layer.

2 A small voltage is applied to the layer.

Projected capacitance:

2 Permits more accurate and flexible

operation, by etching the conductive layer.
 è) INFRARED:

2 It employs one of two very different

methodologies.

2 Use an array of infrared light emitting

diodes.
 Advantages:

2 Military applications.

2 Have the most durable surfaces.

Disadvantages:

2 Relatively high cost.

2 Issue of performance in bright ambient

light.
 5) STRAIN GAUGE :

2 The screen is spring mounted on the four

corners.

2 Used to determine deflection when the

screen is touched.
 6) OPTICAL IMAGING:

2 Two or more image sensors are placed around

the edges of the screen.

2 Revolutionizes the way we interface with

computer technology.
 7) DISPERSIVE SIGNAL
TECHNOLOGY:
2 Chemically strenghtened glass substrate
with piezos mounted on each corner.

2 Determines position by pinpointing the

source of Òbending wavesÓ.
DISADVANTAGES:

2 After the initial touch the system cannot

detect a motionless finger’
 ÿ) ACOUSTIC PULSE RECOGNITION:

2 Uses four piezoelectric transducers located at

each side of the screen.

2 Turn the mechanical energy of a touch into an

electronic signal.
ADVANTAGES:

2 Optics and durability of pure glass.

2 Works with finger, glove, pen.

2 Resistant to water, dust, grease.

DISADVANTAGES:

2 After the initial touch the system cannot

detect a motionless finger.

2 Three main components:

1) Touch Sensor

2 Touch response surface.

2 It is a clear glass panel.

2) Controller

2 Interface between a touch screen sensor and

the device the sensor is used to control.

2 determines what type of

interface/connection.
 Œ) Software Driver

2 Software update for the PC system.

2 Allows the touchscreen and computer to

work together.
