INTRODUCTION
Works with the principle of CRT (Cathode Ray
Tube) technology.
Input device --> Operates a PC by simply
touching the display screen.
Made of sensitive glass overlay & desired inputs
can be given by touching it.
Inputs --> External (light pen) or an internal
device (touch overlay and controller) .
COMPONENTS OF TOUCH
SCREEN
Three major components viz,
Touch sensor
Controller
Software driver
TOUCH SENSORS
Touch
sensor
Covering screen
CONTD..
Touch sensor --> In between clear glass panels.
Responsive area --> Entire viewable area of the
display screen.
Sensors --> Detects electrical current or signal.
Touching -->causes a voltage or signal change,
thereby the location can be determined.
CONTROLLER
CONTD…
PC card --> Touch sensor and the PC.
Change in voltage --> Translated into the
information that CPU understands.
Translated bits --> Position where the touch occurs.
Processor --> change the screen accordingly.
SOFTWARE DRIVER
Acts as a bridge --> Screen and processor.
Makes the operating system --> To interpret the
touch event information.
Touch screen drivers today --> Mouse-emulation
type driver ( like touching the screen the same
as clicking mouse)
Recent research --> To make it as PNP
TYPES OF TOUCH SCREEN
Resistive Touch screen
Surface wave Touch screen
Capacitive Touch screen
Surface capacitive
Projected capacitive
Infrared Touch screen
RESISTIVE TOUCH
SCREENS
RESISTIVE TOUCH SCREEN
CONTD…
1. Polyester Film.
2. Top Resistive Layer.
3. Conductive Transparent Metal Coating.
4. Bottom Resistive Layer .
5. Insulating Dots .
6. Glass Substrate
WORKING OF RESISTIVE
SENSORS
Resistive touch screen monitor composed of :
Flexible top layer
Rigid bottom layer
Insulating dots
Along with touch screen controller.
Top & Bottom layers --> transparent metal oxide coating.
Pressure over the flexible top sheet --> Makes electrical
contact between the resistive layers & the switch closing in
the circuit.
Controller --> Alternating voltages & converts them into the
digital X and Y coordinates.
CONTROLLER
NAME:
VS20UA CONTROLLER
Supply Voltage
5.0V DC
Maximum Current
20mA
Resolution
12-bit
PROPERTIES
2 conductive layers that connects when touched.
Capable of multi touch.
Not affected by dirt or dust.
Good for outdoor use.
SURFACE WAVE
TOUCH SCREEN
SURFACE WAVE TOUCH SCREEN
WORKING OF SURFACE
WAVE SENSORS
Contains Transmitting and receiving transducers
Touchscreen controller --> 5 MHz electrical signal to the
transmitting transducer.
Converts electrical signal --> ultrasonic waves within the
glass.
Waves --> Directed across the front surface of screen.
Reflectors - -> Reflects & directs towards receiving
transducer.
Receiving transducer --> reconverts --> An electrical signal
& digitally maps the touchscreen
CONTROLLER
NAME:
2701RSU CONTROLLER
Voltage
+5 VDC
Baud Rate
9600
Touch Resolution
12bit, size independent
Conversion Time
10 ms per coordinate set
CAPACITIVE
TOUCHSCREEN
CAPACITIVE TOUCHSCREEN
WORKING OF CAPACITIVE
TOUCHSCREEN
Uniform conductive coating on a glass panel.
Operation --> Electrodes around the panel's edge
evenly distribute a low voltage across the
conductive layer & creates an uniform electric
field.
Finger touch --> Draws current from each corner.
Controller --> Measures ratio of the current flow
from the corners & calculates the touch location.
Capacitance --> Finger and the sensor grid.
LAYERS OF CAPACITIVE
TOUCHSCREEN
Contains 3layers ,viz
Front Protective glass
Back protective glass
- provides optical & strength enhancement options
Middle layer
- laminated sensor grid of micro-fine wires
CONTROLLER
Name:
5000
RSU SERIAL
CONTROLLER
Supply Voltage:
+5 V DC or +12V
Baud Rate
9600 (default) and 19200
Touch Resolution
12bit, size independent.
Conversion Time
Approximately 15 ms
per coordinate set
PROPERTIES
Conductive coating that emits electric field.
Very durable.
Must be touched by some conductive materials.
Capable of multi touch.
PROS & CONS OF TOUCH
SCREENS
PROS CONS
Direct pointing to the objects. Low precision when we
use finger.
Fast.
Screen may be covered
Finger or pen is usable (No more by using hand
cable required)
No direct activation to the
No keyboard necessary selected function
Suited to all interactive
applications.
APPLICATIONS
Public Information Displays:::
Tourism displays
Trade show display
Awareness kiosks
Customer Self-Services:::
General departmental Stores
Restaurants
ATMs
Airline ticket terminals, etc.
Other uses:::
Digital jukeboxes
Computerized gaming
Student Registration systems, etc.
RECENT PRODUCT S
UNDER DEVELOPEMENT
RECENT TRENDS
Introduction of
i-PAN7: Flat Touchscreen
computer - Panel PC
Introduced by Keith & Koep
of Japan.
Small frame computer.
Runs with Windows
Embedded CE & built with
low power ARM processor.
Uses Capacitive touch panels.
CONCLUSION
Though the Touch screen technology contains
some limitations it’s
user friendly.
Fast.
Accurate.
easy to operate.
It has been widely accepted and a little
modification can replace the mouse and key
board completely in near future.
