There are many types of touch screens on the market, the most common of which are resistive touch screens (RTP), capacitive touch screens (CTP), surface acoustic wave touch screens, and infrared touch screens. The most widely used touch screens currently include capacitive touch and resistive touch. The capacitive screen works by using the human body's current induction, while the resistive screen works by pressure sensing.
Touch technology
Capacitive screen: Supports multi touch, fast response speed, and sensitive response.
Resistive screen: pressure sensing, can be touched with any object.
Usage environment
Capacitive screen: It is easily affected by changes in environmental temperature, humidity, electric fields, and other factors. We can optimize the display screen according to the usage scenario.
Resistive screen: The screen is not easily affected by dust, water vapor, and oil stains, and can be used in environments with lower or higher temperatures. It can adapt to harsh environments.
cost
Capacitive screen: Compared to resistive touch technology, the cost is higher.
Resistive screen: Due to the mature capacitive touch technology, simple structure, and low technical threshold, the cost is relatively low.
service life
Capacitive screen: Capacitive touch technology works by using current induction, with minimal wear and tear on the screen and a long service life.
Resistive screen: Resistive touch technology utilizes pressure sensing, which can easily wear down the screen and damage the touch function, resulting in a short service life.
Anti damage ability
The outermost layer of a capacitive screen is a protective layer of silica glass, which may shatter under severe impact. The outermost layer of a resistive screen is a thin film, which is prone to scratches but less prone to breakage compared to a capacitive screen.
Pixel accuracy
Capacitive screens can theoretically achieve several pixels, while resistive screens have an accuracy of at least a single display pixel.
