The difference between capacitive touch screen and resistive touch screen

To put it simply, a capacitive screen is more sensitive than a resistive screen, and it is a touch screen in the true sense. However, capacitive screens and resistive screens cannot be said to be good and bad, depending on their preferences. The capacitive screen is sensitive, so the operation on the screen only needs to be touched with your fingers and gently sliding, so generally mobile phones with capacitive screens do not have stylus, resistive screens, and you need to work harder on the resistive screen, most of the stylus we see are resistive screens, such as Nokia's latest flagship product N900 is a resistive screen, and Nuoji 5800 and other mobile phones such as Apple iPhone and Samsung i8910 are capacitive screens, and capacitive screens have stricter use conditions than resistive screens, such as temperature, Humidity and other theoretical, the use of capacitive screen ambient temperature requirements in 0-35, resistive screen in -15 to 45 This may be a bit exaggerated, and there are no such strict requirements in actual use, otherwise people's iphones will not be sold in slightly cold or hot countries, hehe.

The resistive screen can be controlled with fingernails or any other object, and the capacitive screen can only be controlled with fingers, that is, meat. The capacitive screen should be much more sensitive and support multi-point operation.

The capacitance is good and can be multi-touched.

A resistive screen can be touched with any hard object, while a capacitive screen can only be touched by fingers (by static electricity) (of course, you can also use your feet). The stronger the static electricity of the hand, the higher the sensitivity, you know?

Capacitive screen: high cost, support multi-touch, that is, you can directly use your finger.

Resistive screen: The cost is slightly lower, and only supports single touch, with a fingernail, or a stylus.

Capacitive touch screen features, structure G+G structure multi-touch projection capacitive screen, fashionable and beautiful, fast response. Hard screen scratch resistant.

Capacitive touch screens only need to be touched, and no pressure is required to generate a signal.

Capacitive touch screens require only one or no correction after production, while resistive technology requires conventional correction.

Customized resistive screen, capacitive screen, looking for full touch Lu Shuyun, she is the number of 183, the middle is 2005, the back four digits are 9375, the life of the capacitive scheme will be longer, because the components in the capacitive touch screen do not need to move in any way. In a resistive touch screen, the upper ITO film needs to be thin enough to be elastic so that it bends downward to contact the ITO film underneath.

Capacitive technology is superior to resistive technology in terms of light loss and system power consumption.

The choice between capacitive and resistive technology depends mainly on the object touching the screen. If it is a finger touch, a capacitive touch screen is a better choice. If a stylus is required, whether plastic or metal, a resistive touch screen will do the trick.

A capacitive touch screen can also use a stylus, but a special stylus is required to match.

Surface capacitive can be used for large touch screens, and the combination is also low, but it cannot support gesture recognition nowadays: inductive capacitive is mainly used for small and medium-sized touch screens, and can support gesture recognition.

Capacitive technology is wear-resistant, has a long service life, and has low maintenance costs for the user, so the overall operating expenses of the manufacturer can be further reduced.

Capacitive touch screens can support multi-touch technology, and unlike resistive touch screens, they are unresponsive and less prone to wear and tear.

Resistive touch screen features:

The advantage of resistive touch screen is that its screen and control system are relatively cheap, and the response sensitivity is very good, and whether it is a four-wire resistance touch screen or a five-wire resistance touch screen, they are a kind of working environment that is completely isolated from the outside world, not afraid of dust and water vapor, and can adapt to various harsh environments. It can be touched with any object and has good stability. [12]

The advantages of resistive touch screens can be categorized as:

1.The resistive touch screen is highly accurate down to the pixel level and can be used with a maximum resolution of 4096x4096.

2.The screen is not affected by dust, moisture and oil and can be used in lower or higher temperature environments.

3.The resistive touchscreen is pressure-sensitive, can be touched with any object, even with gloves, and can be used for handwriting recognition.

4.Resistive touch screens are relatively inexpensive due to their mature technology and low threshold.

Resistance screen life: Four-wire resistive screen is lower than five-wire resistive screen. The life of a four-wire resistive screen is lower than that of an eight-wire resistive screen.
