Capacitive V/S Resistive Touchscreens .

Around some years the craze of using a touchscreen smartphones and tablets had increased rapidly due to it many companies had started making many types of touchscreen for customers to use the smartphones easily. But sometimes people get confused on which screen should they opt for either the Capacitive one or the Resistive one today we are going to tell some key difference between both the screen and,  How those screen works.?

Capacitive

Although the capacitive screen had come in 1960s but, it boosts the market in 2007 with Apple iPhone. Now  most of the devices such as Apple's iPad, some of the Samsung Galaxy Series smartphones and Amazon Kidle Fire. The Capacitive screens are based on the principle of Capacitance, a measure of electric charge.

• How it Works  ....?

               Capacitive Screen sense the tiny amount of electric charge on your skin that is produced when your finger interacts with the screen's electric field.  The glass screen often has an oil-resistance coating. When you touch the top glass of the capacitive touch screen the capacitance of the area you touched increases. Grids of wires and electrodes below the top glass detects precisely where that increases if. Super speedy microcontrollers translate the location into inner workings and the device to make it response appropriately.

There is an advantage of using the capacitive touch screen is It registers multiple touches at once.

And there is a disadvantage also of using a capacitive screen is that, It doesn't work with gloves, fingernails or other objects that don't have a charge similiar to a finger.

Resistive

Most of the screen now a days use this technology in  screens, like ATMs, hand-held video games, in-car screen and smartphones still do. Its easy to tell by just seeing the image below.

                        

• How it works..??

Two thin layers usually made of tough plastics are held apart by tiny transparent spacers. Electricity run across the two layers . When the screen is pressed, it forced the top layer against the bottom layer, and the sensor detects where the two meets.

Some advantage of using resistive screen is that It can be pressed with anything like, gloves, nails fingers anything.

And there is also one disadvantages of using resistive screen is It is less responsive that capacitive screen as it requires pressure rather than just proximity , It cant recognize multiple touches, and sliding and dragging aren't as smooth.
