  2. Resistive touchscreen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistive_touchscreen

    The Nintendo DS, an example of a handheld game console with a resistive touchscreen. A resistive touchscreen is a type of touch-sensitive display that works by detecting pressure applied to the screen. [2] It is composed of two flexible sheets coated with a resistive material and separated by an air gap or microdots. [3]

  3. Touchscreen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchscreen

    A touchscreen (or touch screen) is a type of display that can detect touch input from a user. It consists of both an input device (a touch panel) and an output device (a visual display). The touch panel is typically layered on the top of the electronic visual display of a device.

  4. Touch switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_switch

    Video demonstrating the operation of a touch-sensitive lamp A touch-sensitive lamp is a combination of a lamp and a touch switch. They act on the principle of body capacitance, activated by human touch rather than a flip, push-button, or other mechanical switch. They are popular as desk and nightstand lamps. Touch-sensitive lamp switches may be ...

    Stantum Japan already got us all giddy and schoolgirlish once, and now that the company's TouchPark has reached the proof of concept stage, we're ready to fawn all over again. Initially compatible ...

  6. Potentiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometer

    For touch-screen devices using resistive technology, a two-dimensional membrane potentiometer provides x and y coordinates. The top layer is thin glass spaced close to a neighboring inner layer. The underside of the top layer has a transparent conductive coating; the surface of the layer beneath it has a transparent resistive coating.

  7. Capacitive sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing

    The greater resolution of PCT allows operation with no direct contact, such that the conducting layers can be coated with further protective insulating layers, and operate even under screen protectors, or behind weather and vandal-proof glass. Because the top layer of a PCT is glass, PCT is a more robust solution versus resistive touch technology.

  8. Tactile sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactile_sensor

    Tactile imaging, as a medical imaging modality, translating the sense of touch into a digital image is based on the tactile sensors. Tactile imaging closely mimics manual palpation, since the probe of the device with a pressure sensor array mounted on its face acts similar to human fingers during clinical examination, deforming soft tissue by ...

  9. Stylus (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylus_(computing)

    Capacitive styluses work by distorting the screen’s electrostatic field. [9] Screens that receive input from a capacitive stylus (as well as human fingers) can't register pressure applied by the pen; tilting of the pen; and can't distinguish between a capacitive stylus, your finger, or a resting palm as input - it will register all of these ...
