How to choose capacitive touch or resistive touch monitor

                                     How to choose capacitive touch or resisitve touch ?

Capacitive and resistive screens are widely used in our daily life pos displays, industrial all-in-one machines and other electronic products, so what is the difference between capacitive and resistive screens

1，The introduction of capacitive touch panel and resistive touch panel:

Capacitive touch screen,  commonly known as "hard screen", is a four-layer Composite glass screen, from the inside to the outside viewing, the first layer is ITO (indium tin metal oxide nano),it is the shielding layer to ensure the working environment; the second layer is glass; the third layer is also ITO coating as work surface use; the fourth layer is silica glass protective layer. Capacitive screen is working using human body's electric current induction.Resistive touch screen, commonly known as "soft screen", the structure is different with capacitive screen, there are only three layers, the innermost layer is the glass, the outermost layer is the film, in the film and glass adjacent to the side are coated with ITO. resistive screen is a sensor.

2,The difference between capacitive touch and resistive touch

1)Comparison of touch sensitivity

The capacitive screen works with the body's current, so any non-conductive objects such as fingernails or gloves cannot be recognized by the capacitive sensor system at the bottom of the screen. The resistive screen is operated by pressure sensing and can be touched by any object. It supports a stylus.

2) Multitouch with a capacitive screen is possible, depending on how it is implemented and the software , while multitouch with a resistive screen is impossible unless the resistive screen is reassembled and connected to the machine's circuit.

3) The outermost layer of the capacitive panel is silica glass protective layer, which may be cracked under severe impact. The outermost layer of the resistive panel is a thin film, and the screen is easy to produce scratches, but it is not easy to break than the capacitive panel.
3,How to choose capacitive touch or resistive touch?

1)If you want to use multi-touch, you should choose capacitive touch screens, because resistive touch screens don't support this yet;

2)If often used in the sun, should choose capacitive touch  screen, because the resistive touch screen in the sun reflection affect the use;

3)If you need to use a stylus, you should choose the resistive touch screen, because the capacitor screen works so that the capacitor screen does not support a stylus;

4)If in the process of use will often impact on it, should choose the resistive touch screen, because the capacitive touch screen is easy to crack under impact;

5)If the operating temperature fluctuation is large, should choose resistive touch screen,  resistive touch screen working temperature range is relatively wide;

6)If the working environment is dry, you should choose the resistive touch screen, because the capacitive touch screen has humidity requirements for the working environment, but the resistive touch screen does not;

7)If you are using only the basic functions, you should use  the resistive touch screen because the cost is lower;

By comparing the difference between capacitive touch  screen and resistive touch screens, we can't absolutely say which one is good or bad.

We can offer u various size from 7inch to 42inch touch solution , no matter resistive touch or capacitive touch monitors or all-in-one pc .Out door high brightness can be customized to meet different application areas
