Difference between resistive touch screen and capacitive touch screen

Difference between resistive touch screen and capacitive touch screen

1. The resistive screen needs to be pressed lightly when touching the sreen, while the capacitive screen can be activated even with a slight finger touch.

2. The resistive screen can be touched by any object, while the capacitive screen is the thermal sensing working principle of the human body. It can only be touched by the thermal sensing area of the finger, and the nail and stylus are invalid. Since the area of the finger is much larger than that of the stylus, the touch accuracy of the capacitive screen cannot reach the same level as that of the resistance screen when touching small ICONS or menus.

3. Capacitive screen can be easily multi-touch, resistance screen generally can not achieve multi-touch.

4 resistance screen inside is soft, generally in 4 to 5 layers of ultra-thin tempered glass with fine carbon particles (can be seen under the microscope), by pressing the upper and lower layers of carbon particles contact each other and connected to the touch screen circuit, touch reaction, easy to produce scratches, easy to break, easy to touch screen is not working, and capacitive screen is a single layer of thickened tempered glass, hardness, old resistance, Long service life.

5. The resistive screen has poor visibility in the sun, while the capacitive screen is very good and still has strong visibility in the sun.
