    May 3, 2024Touch screen technology works on several principles, each is used to detect and respond to touch inputs. Capacitive touchscreens, one of the most common types, works by measuring changes in capacitance when a conductive object, like a finger, touches the screen, disrupting an electrostatic field.

    Touchscreen

    A touchscreen is a type of display that can detect touch input from a user. It consists of both an input device and an output device. The touch panel is typically layered on the top of the electronic visual display of a device. Touchscreens are commonly found in smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices. The display is often an LCD, AMOLED or OLED display. A user can give input or control the information processing system through simple or multi-touch gestures by touching the screen with a special stylus or one or more fingers. Some touchscreens use ordinary or specially coated gloves to work, while others may only work using a special stylus or pen. The user can use the touchscreen to react to what is displayed and, if the software allows, to control how it is displayed; for example, zooming to increase the text size. A touchscreen enables the user to interact directly with what is displayed, instead of using a mouse, touchpad, or other such devices. Wikipedia
