    The document discusses touchscreen technology. It begins with an introduction that defines a touchscreen and how it works using touch. It then covers the different technologies used in touchscreens like resistive, capacitive, infrared, and acoustic. The working involves a touch sensor, controller, and software driver. Advantages include large screens for media, and simple interfaces, while disadvantages are screens get dirty and need more power. Applications include banking ATMs, games, and more. The future may include more precision, accuracy, and 3D touchscreens with lower costs.

    INTRODUCTION

     The touch screen is a display that can


    detect the presence and location of a
    touch within the display area.
     The term generally refers to touch or
    contact to the display of the device by a
    finger or hand.
     Touch screen can also sense other
    passive objects such as stylus.
    TECHNOLOGY

     A touch screen is an input device that


    allows users to operate a PC by simply
    touching the display screen.
     The display screen have a sensitive glass
    overlay placed on it and user can give
    desired input by touching it.
     A touch screen is based on CRT
    technology that accepts direct onscreen
    input.
    There are various
    technologies used in touch
    screens, some of them are:
     Resistive
     Surface Acoustic Wave(SAW)
     Capacitive
     Infrared
     Optical imaging
     Dispersive signaling technology
     Acoustic pulse recognition
    Dispersive touch
    screen technology
    WORKING

     Working of touch screen is a result


    of coordination of the following
    main components used in it.
     Main components are:
     Touch sensor
     Controller
     Software Driver
    panel with a touch responsive
    surface. The sensor generally has an
    electric current or signal going
    through it and touching the screen
    causes a voltage or signal change.
    This voltage change is used to
    determine the location of touch to
    the screen.

    Controller: It is a small PC card


    that connects between the touch
    sensor and the PC. It takes
    information from the touch sensor
    and translated it into information
     Software Driver: The driver is a
    software that allows the touch screen
    and computer to work together. It
    tells the OS how to interpret the
    touch event information that is sent
    from the controller. Most touch
    screen drivers today are a mouse-
    emulation type driver. This makes
    touching the screen the same as
    clicking mouse at the same location
    on the screen.
    Development

     The development of multipoint touch


    screen facilitated the tracking of more
    than one finger on the screen.
     These devices also allow multiple users
    to interact with the touch screen
    simultaneously.
     With the influence of the multi touch
    enabled iPhone, the touch screen market
    for mobile is projected to produce 70
    billion till the last of this year.
    Advantages

     Touch screen gadgets have big


    screen which is ideal for web
    browsing, pictures and movies.
     Touch screen gadgets usually
    have simple user interfaces,
    which are more flexible.
    Disadvantages

     Touch screen devices require massive


    computing power and really a big screen
    which leads to slow devices with low
    battery life.
     Screen gets dirty very soon.
     Touch screen devices usually have no
    additional keys and this means when an
    app crashes, without crashing he OS you
    can’t get to the main menu as the whole
    screen becomes unresponsive.
    Applications
     Public access: banks and financial
    reporting, shopping mall directory,
    public transportation schedule, ATM
    machines, corporate information e.t.c.
     Entertainment: interactive computer
    games, casinos.
     Government: military control system,
    scientific research lab.
     Information system ,device controls,
    customer self services, public
    information system.
    Future of the touch
    screen technology
     Minimal power requirement.
     High internet accuracy and precision.
     Zero pressure touch and allows finger
    scrolling.
     Allows 100% display output, picture
    definition and color clarity.
     Low cost and excellent durability.
     3-dimension touch screen.
    Conclusion
     Designers are trying to use touch screen
    to simplify input commands for
    unsophisticated users.
     Today a large share of population is PC
    literate yet the touch screen has become
    adopted by computer users of all
    abilities because it is simple, fast and
    innovative.
     In future there is no usage of mouse and
    keyboards as they will be replaced by
    touch screens.
