Resistive Touch Screen (Option)
Touch Screen
General
The resistive TFT Touch Screen is constructed of a hard-coated polyester
topsheet that is overlaid on a conductively-coated glass layer. Voltage is
applied to the topsheet. As the user touches the screen, the topsheet
compresses into contact with the glass layer, and current flows to the four
corners in proportion to the distance from the edge. The controller then
calculates the position of the finger or stylus, based on the current flow.
Because the controller derives both the “X” and “Y” touch coordinates
from the stable glass layer, the accuracy and operation of the touch
screen is unaffected by damage to the topsheet caused by extended use
or neglect.
