Analogue Resistive Touch screens

Analogue Resistive Touch Screens from CDS are of the highest quality and reliability which can be used in many industrial and commercial applications including with thick gloves. Resistive touch for most applications.

How do capacitive touchscreens work? Analogue Resistive Touch Screens are a very simple touch sensor that uses dual layers of a flexible, conductive material that deforms under a touch and the 2 layers make contact, the position of this contact is determined by the change in resistance of the circuits. For use with LCD panels. The touchscreen uses a series of electrodes along each edge, and the touch controller alternates between sensing x and y axis readings using electrodes on opposite sides to carry a voltage difference and one of the adjacent electrodes to sense the touch. This construction method uses a deformable material to function, so eventually the touch sensor will wear out over use and require recalibration over time to stay accurate but it is also cheap, reliable and accurate when calibrated correctly. It can also be used with a touch stylus or a gloved hand.

Resistive vs capasitive touch screens. Although resistive is often looked at as the low end touch technology as it was one of the first it offers some benefits the others cannot such as 8 wire resistive touchscreen and 8 wire touch screens the resistive touchscreen technology when complimented by excellent touch panel suppliers and touch screen companies, mean these touch screen manufacturers can add real value to your products and operations. Whether is be 4 wire , 5 wire or 8 wire touch screens we have a solution for you for your LCD panels.
