Product History and Evolution

The history of resistive touchscreens dates back to the mid-1970s when American engineer Samuel Hurst invented the world’s first resistive touchscreen. It is believed that Hurst and a group of colleagues discovered that touching and tapping a computer monitor was a more intuitive way to control a computer than using a traditional keyboard and mouse. Hurst went on to develop a touchscreen interface with multiple layers of resistive material, which allowed for precise touch detection. This breakthrough led to the development of the resistive touchscreen technology we know today and revolutionized the way we interact with computers and other devices.

Resistive touchscreens have been developed by numerous companies since the invention of the first resistive touchscreen by Samuel Hurst in the mid-1970s. As of 2007, more than 90% of all touchscreen devices shipped globally were resistive. Although capacitive touchscreens have become more popular in recent years, many consumers and business owners still prefer resistive touchscreens due to their precision and reliability. The demand for resistive touchscreens continues to persist in various industries such as industrial automation and medical equipment, where precise touch detection is critical. Despite the popularity of newer technologies, resistive touchscreens remain an important part of the touchscreen landscape.

What is a Digital Matrix Resistive Touch Screen

Digital matrix resistive touch screens are a type of touch screen technology that uses digital matrix technology. Digital matrix technology was used before analog resistive technologies such as 4-wire and 5-wire appeared, and was employed in factory automation, copying machines, faxes, phones, mobile games, calculators, cash dispensers, and more. The digital matrix technology utilized in resistive touch screens consists of top and bottom sheets with ITO coatings and electrodes arranged in stripes both horizontally and vertically. The top and bottom sheets face each other in a way that the striped ITO coatings bisect at right angles. When pressed, the intersections of the ITO coatings make contact, and these contacted points are detected as touch points. Each intersection of the ITO coatings functions as an independent switch, allowing for highly accurate touch detection. Digital matrix resistive touch screens remain popular today due to their low cost, durability, and high level of precision.

Product Features

Our custom digital matrix resistive touch screens feature resistive technology, which is known for its simplicity and low cost. The touch screen and controller circuit have a straightforward structure, which keeps costs down. Additionally, resistive technology has no limitations on input material, allowing for use with fingers, pens, and any other tool.

The thickness of resistive touch screens can be thin due to their simple structure, and the frame area (insulation area) is narrow compared to other technologies. This simplicity also means that the touch screen and controller can be sourced separately to create a touch screen unit.

Another advantage of resistive touch screens is their low power consumption, making them an energy-efficient option. However, some may consider the structure of two layers of transparent ITO sheets facing with air in between to be a disadvantage in terms of visibility. This structure can cause a decrease in light transmission, reflection of outside light, and Newton rings, which can affect visibility. However, recent advancements such as high light transmission film, anti-Newton ring film, and structure design to suppress reflection have improved visibility tremendously.

Our custom digital matrix resistive touch screens are known for their high accuracy and sensitivity. This is achieved through the use of mult-wires technology, which employs multiple sensing lines. With every touch point having two wire crossed, there is no drift, ensuring optimal accuracy with every touch. The simplicity of the resistive touch screen structure also ensures reliability, making them a popular choice in various industries.

Materials

Related to custom Digital Matrix Resistive Touch Screens, the materials used in their construction play a critical role in their performance, durability, and reliability. Here are some of the materials commonly used in the manufacturing of Digital Matrix Resistive Touch Screens:

 

  • Conductive Coatings: Conductive coatings are used on the surface of the touch screen to facilitate the transfer of electrical current when a user touches the screen. These coatings are typically made from materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or silver.
  • Polyester Film: Polyester film is used as the base layer of the touch screen. It is highly durable and flexible, allowing for the touch screen to be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes.
  • Adhesive: Adhesives are used to bond the different layers of the touch screen together. The type of adhesive used can vary depending on the specific application and the desired level of durability.
  • Protective Films: Protective films are added to the surface of the touch screen to protect it from scratches, abrasions, and other damage. These films are typically made from materials such as polycarbonate or acrylic.
  • Controllers: The controllers used in Digital Matrix Resistive Touch Screens are responsible for interpreting the electrical signals generated when a user touches the screen. These controllers are typically made from specialized materials and components designed for optimal performance and accuracy.
