II. Resistive Screen
3
The Cruz Reader has a “resistive touch screen,” meaning there are two
electronic layers inside the screen separated by a narrow gap. When
your fi nger presses on an area of the screen, these two layers are joined,
sending the info to the Cruz processor and translating it as input.
What does it mean
?
NOTE:
If you choose to use a tool like a stylus, be
careful it does not have a metal tip, which could scratch
the touch screen!
Resistive screens work best when using a sharp, precise
touch, like that of a fi ngernail or pen top and do require a
little more pressure than the capacitive screens found on
many smart phones. Because they do not detect the heat
of your fi nger like capacitive screens, a tool like a stylus
can also be used to easily and precisely navigate the Cruz
Reader’s touch screen.
