INTRODUCTION
A touchscreenisan electronic visualdisplaythat the user cancontrol through simple ormulti-touch gesturesby touchingthe screen with one or morefingers. Some touchscreenscan also detect objects such
as a stylusor ordinary orspecially coated gloves. Theuser can use the touchscreento react to what is displayedand to control how it isdisplayed (for exampleby zoomingthe text size.
The touchscreen enables theuser to interact directly withwhat is displayed! rather thanusing a mouse! touchpad! orany other intermediate device(other than a stylus! which is
optional for most moderntouchscreens.
Touchscreens are common indevices such as gameconsoles! all-in-onecomputers! tablet computers!and smartphones. They can
also be attached to computersor! as terminals! to networ"s.They also play a prominentrole in the design of digitalappliances such aspersonaldigital assistants(#$As! satellitenavigationdevices! mobilephones! and video games.
The popularity ofsmartphones! tablets! andmany types of informationappliancesis driving thedemand and acceptance of

and in heavy industry! as wellas in "ios"s such as museumdisplays or room automation!where "eyboardand mousesystems do not allow a suitablyintuitive! rapid! or accurateinteraction by the user withthe display%s content.
&istorically! the touchscreensensor and its accompanyingcontroller-based firmwarehave been made available bya wide array of after-mar"et system integrators!and not by display! chip! ormotherboard manufacturers.
$isplay manufacturers andchip manufacturers worldwidehave ac"nowledged the trendtoward acceptance oftouchscreens as a highlydesirable userinterfacecomponent and havebegun to integrate
touchscreens into thefundamental design of theirproducts.

esistive touch is used inrestaurants! factories andhospitals due to its highresistance to li8uids and
contaminants. A major benefitof resistive touch technologyis its low cost. Additionally! asonly sufficient pressure isnecessary for the touch to besensed! they may be usedwithgloves on! or by usinganything rigid as a

poorer contrast! due to havingadditional reflections from theextra layer of material placedover the screen.:';
