INTRODUCING THE TECHNOLOGY


A touch screen is an Electronic visual display. The display screen has a sensitive glass overlay placed on it and we could give the desired input by touching it. The first touch sensor was developed by Doctor Sam Hurst in 1971. The HP-150 from 1983 was probably the worlds earliest commercial touchscreen computer.

HOW DOES A TOUCHSCREEN WORK?


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.

CONTROLLER

The controller is a small PC card.

It processes the received signals and sends data to the processor.

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.

Most touch screen drivers today are a mouseemulation type driver. This makes touching the screen the same as clicking your mouse at the same location on the screen.

Continued

Resistive touch screen monitor is composed of a flexible top layer and a rigid bottom layer separated by insulating dots, attached to a touch screen controller. The inside surface of each of the two layers is coated with a transparent metal oxide coating Pressing the flexible top sheet creates electrical contact between the resistive layers, producing a switch closing in the circuit. The controller gets the alternating voltages between the two layers and converts them into the digital X and Y coordinates of the activated area.

CAPACITIVE

It has a an uniform conductive coating on a glass panel. During operation, electrodes around the panel's edge evenly distribute a low voltage across the conductive layer & creates an uniform electric field. A finger touch draws current from each corner. Then the controller measures the ratio of the current flow from the corners and calculates the touch location

Pros

Cons

Direct pointing to the objects. Fast Finger or pen is usable (No cable required) No keyboard necessary Suited to: novices, application for information retrieval etc.

Low precision by using finger. Bit Expensive. User has to sit or stand closer to the screen Power Consumption. Screen gets dirty often.

18

CONCLUSION
Though the touch screen technology contains some limitations its very user friendly, fast, accurate, easy for the novices & fun to operate. It has been widely accepted. And now by just modifying a little it can replace the mouse and key board completely in near future.
