A touch screen is an electronic visual display that can detect the presence and location of a touch within the display area. The term generally refers to touching the display of the device with a finger or hand. Touch screens can also sense other passive objects, such as a stylus.
In 1971,the first "Touch Sensor" was developed by Doctor Sam Hurst while he was an instructor at the University of Kentucky. In 1974, the first true touch screen incorporating a transparent surface was developed by Sam Hurst and Elographics. In 1977, Elographics developed and patented five-wire resistive technology, the most popular touch screen technology in use today.
The
e HP-150 from 1983 was one of the world's earliest commercial touch screen computer. recently, most consumer touch screens could only sense one point of contact at a time, and few have had the capability to sense how hard one is touching. the touch screen sensor and its accompanying controller-based firmware have been made available by a wide array of after-market system integrators , and not by display, chip, or motherboard manufacturers

There
are several principal ways to build a touch screen . there are typically four layers,
1.Top
polyester layer coated with a transparent metallic conductive coating on the bottom 2.Adhesive spacer 3.Glass layer coated with a transparent metallic conductive coating on the top 4.Adhesive layer on the backside of the glass for mounting
Virtually all of the significant touch screen technology patents were filed during the1970s and1980s and have expired. The development of multipoint touch screens facilitated the tracking of more than one finger on the screen. With the growing acceptance of many kinds of products with an integral touch screen interface, the marginal cost of touch screen technology is routinely absorbed into the products that incorporate it and is effectively eliminated.
We
can compare different touch screen technologies basedon the following factors, 1.Durability 2.Stability 3.Transparency 4.Response time 5.Touch 6.Intense light resistant 7.Monitor option 8.Water proof
Its
very important to take protection on screens while using touch screens. touch screens, primarily those employed in smart phones, use transparent plastic protectors to prevent any scratches that might be caused by day to day use from becoming permanent.

This
paper presents the importance, history, different technologies and different aspects in using the touch screens.
Although
touch screens provide a natural interface for computer novices, they are unsatisfactory for most applications because the finger is such a relatively large object.
