A touch screen is a display device that allows the user to interact with a computer by using their finger or stylus. They can be a useful alternative to a mouse or keyboard for navigating a GUI (graphical user interface). Touch screens are used on a variety of devices, such as computer and laptop displays, smartphones, tablets, cash registers, and information kiosks. Some touch screens use a grid of infrared beams to sense the presence of a finger instead of utilizing touch-sensitive input.
Projected Capacitive Touch Screens
- PCAP touch screen software is typically used in smart phones and tablets, but can also be used for much larger screens.
- It works through the use of a conductive grid that recognizes changes in its electromagnetic field by the touch of your finger.
- Projected capacitive touch screen technology does not require a bezel.
- They detect only fingers or styluses.
- PCAP displays very accurate, and capable of up to 60 touch points.
- We can develop the ideal solution for your upcoming project as market applications.
Infrared Touch Screens
- IR touch technology involves an embedded overlay of infrared beams from top to bottom and side to side around the device’s bezel.
- When the invisible plane provided by the beams in broken by any object, the device registers a touch point.
- With up to 40 simultaneous touch points, IR touch screen displays are a bit less accurate than PCAP displays.
- That said, Infrared displays are still quite accurate enough to be used in a wide variety of settings.
- But when used outdoors on a bright and sunny day, the sunlight can sometimes interfere with the overlay’s touch reception.
