Touch Screen Technology: Presented By: Niraj Shah Karan Shah

This document discusses touch screen technology and its components. It describes the three main types of touch screens: resistive, surface wave, and capacitive. Resistive touch screens use two flexible conductive layers separated by dots of insulating material. Surface wave touch screens use ultrasonic sound waves. Capacitive touch screens have a sensor grid between two protective glass layers. The document also provides examples of devices that use touch screens such as the Apple iPad and Microsoft Surface. It concludes that touch screen technology has advantages of being user-friendly, fast, and accurate despite some limitations.

TOUCH SCREEN

TECHNOLOGY

PRESENTED BY:
Niraj Shah
Karan Shah
INTRODUCTION
 A touchscreen is an electronic visual display that can
detect the presence and location of a touch within the
display area.

 Input device --> Operates a PC by simply touching the


display screen.

 Made of sensitive glass overlay & desired inputs can be


given by touching it.

 Inputs --> External (light pen) or an internal device


(touch overlay and controller) .
COMPONENTS OF TOUCH
SCREEN
 Three major components viz,

 Touch sensor

 Controller

 Software driver
TOUCH SENSORS

Touch
sensor

Covering screen
 Touch sensor --> In between clear glass panels.

 Responsive area --> Entire viewable area of the display


screen.

 Sensors --> Detects electrical current or signal.

 Touching -->causes a voltage or signal change, thereby the


location can be determined.
CONTROLLER
 PC card --> Touch sensor and the PC.

 Change in voltage --> Translated into the information that


CPU understands.

 Translated bits --> Position where the touch occurs.

 Processor --> change the screen accordingly.


SOFTWARE DRIVER

 Acts as a bridge --> Controller and processor.

 Makes the operating system --> To interpret the touch


event information.

 Touch screen drivers today --> Mouse-emulation type


driver ( like touching the screen the same as clicking
mouse)
TECHNOLOGY BEHIND TOUCH
SCREENS

 Resistive Touch screen

 Surface wave Touch screen

 Capacitive Touch screen


RESISTIVE TOUCH
SCREENS
RESISTIVE TOUCH SCREEN
WORKING OF RESISTIVE
TOUCH SCREEN
 With a light touch, the conductive coating makes
electrical contact with the coating on the glass.
 

 The voltages at the point of contact are the analog


representation of the position touched. The controller
digitizes these voltages and transmits them to the
computer for processing.
WORKING OF RESISTIVE
SENSORS
 Resistive touch screen monitor composed of :
 Flexible top layer
 Rigid bottom layer
 Insulating dots
 Along with touch screen controller.

 Top & Bottom layers --> transparent metal oxide coating.

 Pressure over the flexible top sheet --> Makes electrical contact
between the resistive layers & the switch closing in the circuit.

 Controller --> Alternating voltages & converts them into the digital
X and Y coordinates.
CONTROLLER
 NAME:
 MTS690R Touch Screen
Controller
 Supply Voltage
 5.0VDC

 Maximum Current 
 20mA

 Resolution
 12-bit
Advantages of Resistive
 High Accuracy
 Fast Response

 Pressure-activated by finger or gloved hand with a very


light touch
 Durable hard-coat front surface can be nonglare treated
for reflection control or polished for maximum clarity
 Touchscreens and controllers are safety agency-approved

components,so certification of your system is easier


DISADVANTAGES OF RESISTIVE

 80 % Clarity

 Resistive
layers can be
damaged by a sharp
object
PROPERTIES

2 conductive layers that connects when touched.

 Capable of multi touch.

 Not affected by dirt or dust.

 Good for outdoor use.


SURFACE WAVE

SURFACE WAVE TOUCH SCREEN
WORKING OF SURFACE
WAVE SENSORS
CONTROLLER
 NAME:
 2701RSU CONTROLLER

 Voltage
 +5 VDC

 Baud Rate
 9600

 Touch Resolution
 12bit, size independent

 Conversion Time
 10 ms per coordinate set
CAPACITIVE TOUCH
SCREEN
CAPACITIVE TOUCHSCREEN
WORKING OF CAPACITIVE
TOUCH SCREEN

 Small amount of voltage is applied to the four


corners of the touch screen.

 A finger touches the screen and draws a minute


amount of current to the point of contact ,
creating a voltage drop.

 The x,y location of the point of contact is


calculated by the controller and transmitted to
the PC
LAYERS OF CAPACITIVE
TOUCH SCREEN
 Contains 3 layers ,viz

 Front Protective glass

 Back protective glass


- provides optical & strength enhancement options

 Middle layer
- laminated sensor grid of micro-fine wires
CONTROLLER

RSU SERIAL
CONTROLLER
 Supply Voltage:
 +5 V DC or +12V
 Baud Rate
 9600 (default) and 19200
 Touch Resolution

 Conversion Time
 Approximately 15 ms per
coordinate set
ADVANTAGES OF CAPACITIVE
TOUCH SCREEN

 High Touch Resolution


 High Clarity

 Completely Sealable

 Scratch resistant, durable surface

 High endurance (225 million touches)

 Very accurate

 Good optical clarity (88+% transmissivity)

 Liquids won't affect touch screen performance


DISADVANTAGES OF CAPACITIVE TOUCH
SCREEN 

 Must be touched by finger- will not work with any non-


conductive input

 Can be affected by electricity

 May need re-calibration often


PROS & CONS OF TOUCH
SCREEN
PROS CONS
