Some basic touch screen systems Capacitive, resistive and surface acoustic wave are the basic touch screen U.S. systems. Among them the resistive touch panels are the most cost-effective ones. All the systems differ in their touch panel controllers and also in their way of construction. Different systems have different stimulus for registering a touch on the screen. As the resistive panels are based entirely on pressure so they will react if they are touched with any object. The surface acoustic wave system reacts to almost all kinds of stimulus except small and hard objects. Only conductive touch acts as a stimulus to capacitive touch panels. These three touch screen systems have brought a great revolution with their wide application, efficiency and ease of use. Information about resistive touch panels Resistive touch panels with 5-wire configuration are the most popular due to their easy interface and low cost. All the resistive touch screens are not equally designed but the general base design is same for all. Various panels make up the entire system. Below the screen surface there lays two electrically resistive layers facing each other and from the most important panels of the system. Two types of layers are used, one is made up of glass containing striped electrodes and the other one is analogue panels whose electrodes do not carry any specific pattern. When a contact is made with the screen the layers get connected at the point of contact and a touch is registered by the touch panel controller. In the touch screen U.S. the voltage is first applied to the opposite side of one of the layers and then to the edges of the layer. This process helps the controller to send the exact data regarding the position of the touch to the CPU to interpret. Usage of resistive touch screens Computers, phones, medical and aerospace equipment require resistive panels on a large scale. As these touch screens are highly resistive to liquids so they are widely used in factories and restaurants. 5-wire resistive touch panels are also referred as Accutouch. One can easily identify this technology by seeing the horizontal and vertical arrays of dots and by feeling the touch membrane. In this touch panel two layers of transparent materials are insulated with a space in the grids. These materials are conducting and very reactive to chemicals. The touch screens are mostly designed keeping in mind the exact needs. This enhances the product and increases its efficiency. Reflections, fingerprints and glares can be reduced with the use of proper films. Panels which are highly transmitting are used in MRIs as image clarity if the main point of concern. With the custom designing of the resistive touch panels it can also be made to support multi-touch input. The resistive touch screen U.S. has got a lot of flexibility in comparison to other touch screens.
