Touch Screens: Different Types and Options
10.09.2023
What is a touch screen?
A touch screen is an electronic input device, usually located on top of the visual display of an information handling system, that allows a user to control the device through simple or multi-touch gestures. Touchscreens allow users to control the device by interacting with the display itself, without the need for an external controller, such as an attached mouse or trackpad.
The touchscreen guarantees accurate and fast responses when users interact with them on your device. They can be used with bare fingers or a stylus, and can support multi-touch features such as two-finger zoom control, and in some cases even three- or four-finger control. While most are non-haptic, they can also be made with haptic feedback in mind.
Touchscreens are built to last: They're easy to clean and resist harsh cleaning materials, which is important considering how many people can interact with them in any given use case. In addition to chemical resistance, touchscreens can be designed to withstand high and low temperatures, humidity and dust exposure.
They are also durable. The touchscreen can withstand 100,000 taps or writing on the same area, and the entire touchscreen can be used up to 1,000,000 times.
Touchscreens add a modern and innovative design to products, so it's no wonder that they become the standard for user interface control of devices in almost every industry.
