    Asha Malik presented on the history and technologies of touch screens. She discussed how touch screens were first developed in the 1970s and the earliest commercial use in 1983. There are various touch screen technologies but the most popular is resistive touch screens which use conductive coatings to detect touch. Touch screens are constructed of four layers including a top polyester layer, adhesive spacer, glass layer, and adhesive back layer. Factors for comparing technologies include durability, transparency, response time, and light resistance. While touch screens provide an intuitive interface, fingers are large for most applications.

    Introduction History Technologies Construction Development Ergonomics and usage Comparison of touch screen technologies Screen protectors Conclusion

    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 HP-150 from 1983 was one of the world's earliest

    commercial touch screen computer.


    Until 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.
    Historically, 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 a variety of Touch-screen technologies. Some of them are,

    There are several principal ways to build a touch screen. there are typically four layers, 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 the 1970s and 1980s 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.

    The different ergonomics due to usage of touch screens are,

    Its very important to take protection on screens while

    using touch screens.


    Some 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.
