What is a capacitive touch screen and\nhow it will benefit your organization?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Remember the\nphrase \u201cThe World at your fingertips\u201d, well thanks to the modern innovation of\ntouch screen technology, the world is proverbially at your fingertips now. With\njust a light tap of your fingers, you can now perform a barrage of functions on\naccount of this modern cutting-edge technology. Primarily used for smartphones,\ntouch screen technology is now used across various electrical appliances as\nwell. There are various methods through which an appliance will sense your\ntouch and depending on the mechanism via which your touch is sensed there are\nthree primary kinds of touchscreen technologies – resistive touch screen,\nSurface acoustic wave, and capacitive touch screen. The most widely used\ntouchscreen technology in smartphones and other electrical appliances is a capacitive\ntouch screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a capacitive touch screen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our day-to-day lives, we\u2019re constantly using our\nsmartphones and tablets to carry out numerous functions no matter how important\nmenial or significant they are. Modern innovation has made our lives so much\neasier by letting us perform an assortment of functions by just using our\nfingertips but have we wondered how they work? How a mere tap of your finger\nwill let you perform different activities like playing a game, controlling some\nof the switches in your house, making online transactions and much more? Have\nyou wondered how it all works? If you\u2019re wondering that now, the answer to\nwonderment is \u201cCapacitive Touchscreen technology\u201d. Capacitive Touch screen is a\ntype of technology applied in a touch screen that detects a \u201ctouch\u201d using the\n\u201ccapacitive coupling\u201d method. In most of the electrical gadgets, a Capacitive\ntouch screen is a control display with built-in sensors that help detect a\ntouch of the human finger or a device that is specially designed for the\ncontrol display, for input. The panel of a capacitive touch screen primarily\ncontains an insulator \u2013e.g. Glass, which is coated with a transparent conductor\nlike indium tin oxide (ITO).  Since a\nhuman body is essentially a conductor of electricity, touching the screen\u2019s\nsurface will distort the screen\u2019s electrostatic field, this change in charge is\nmeasured in Capacitance.  There are\nvarious kinds of technologies that can be used to ascertain the location of the\ntouch. After determining the location, it is then sent to a controller for\nprocessing. The controller in most appliances is primarily CMOS (Complementary\nMetal-Oxide Semiconductor) Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC).\nAfter the controller, the information is further sent as a signal to a CMOS\ndigital signal processor (DSOP) for processing. In the majority of the designs,\nthe capacitance is measured by the circuits present at every corner of the\npanel and the information is then sent for processing to the controllers. With\nmodern innovations, Multi-touch screens are equipped with sensors that are\ncategorically aligned in a grid which makes it possible for the touch screens\nto process a more complex input. Keeping the consumer in mind, manufacturers\nare developing touchscreens that are thinner and with more accurate sensors.\nEspecially for smartphones, touch screen manufacturers are now making more\nefficient touch screens that use \u201cin-cell\u201d technology that provides various\nbenefits to the device. A prime example of this technology is the \u201cAMOLED\u201d\nscreens that have a built-in capacitor in the display itself which gets rid of\nan extra layer inside the display, thus reducing the thickness and the weight\nof the display screen, which in turn is desirable to the consumer. This\ntechnology also reduces the distance between the user\u2019s finger and the screen,\nthus providing efficient and more comfortable user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages of Capacitive Touch Screen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are\nvarious advantages of using Capacitive touch screens in comparison to other\ntouch screen technologies. Some of the advantages are as follows<\/p>\n\n\n\n

• Conductivity \u2013 <\/strong>Since this technology\nrelies on \u201ccapacitance\u201d, the pressure applied to register a touch is irrelevant\nand hence it is easier to use and lighter to operate.<\/li>
• Responsiveness is\nenhanced \u2013<\/strong>\nThe objects with which a \u201ctouch\u201d is registered are limited and that is why\nthere is a chance of fewer accidental interactions.<\/li>
• Durability \u2013<\/strong> As compared to the other\ntechnologies, Capacitive touch screens are known to be more durable and hence\ncan be used in relatively harsh environments.<\/li>
• Improved image quality \u2013<\/strong> Since the display\nscreens have glass top layers as opposed to plastic layers, the image quality in\nthese touchscreens is much better.<\/li>
• Reliable \u2013<\/strong> One of the most\nsignificant advantages of this technology is that it will continue to function\neven with minor cracks on the screen. Display screens suffering minor cracks\nare one of the most common problems faced by the consumers. In the case of\ncapacitive touch screens, the \u201ccapacitance\u201d will still be measured even with\nsome minor cracks in the screen, thus ensuring the smooth functioning of your\ndevice.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

  Disadvantages of\ncapacitive touch screen technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Even though this modern innovation is highly advantageous and\nefficient, it has a few disadvantages. Some of which are as follows<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Unlike the resistive touch screen, a capacitive touch screen\ndepends on conductivity and hence in some cases, a touch screen may not detect\nthe touch of a glove since some gloves are insulators and do not conduct\nelectricity. It also requires special stylus that are conductors of electricity<\/li>
  •  In comparison to a\nresistive touch screen, a capacitive touch screen tends to be a tad expensive<\/li>
  • Since a capacitive touch screen contains a glass display screen,\nit is prone to breaking or cracking and hence requires a protective guard to\nprotect the display screen<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Uses of Capacitive touch screen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Due to its\nefficiency and other advantages, Capacitive touch screens are used in almost\nevery smartphone today. It is also used in various tablets, Microsoft Surface\nlaptop, Apple Ipads, Iphones, and Ipods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
