Product History and Evolution

Capacitive switches have a long history in electrical engineering, but it was only in the late 20th century that the technology became practical for use in commercial products.

The evolution of capacitive switches has been driven by advancements in materials science and manufacturing technology. New materials and manufacturing techniques have allowed manufacturers to create switches that are more durable, reliable, and resistant to environmental factors such as moisture and dust. Manufacturing technology has also improved, resulting in switches that are more precise, reliable, and cost-effective.

In recent years, there has been a growing focus on customization in the development of capacitive switches, with advances in printing and graphics technology enabling manufacturers to produce switches with custom graphics and text.

At TouchScreenMan, we are at the forefront of the field, committed to providing our clients with the best possible solutions for their needs. Contact us today to learn more.

What is a Capacitive Touch Sensor Film Switch

Capacitive switches are a type of switch that use electrical capacitance to detect touch input. They work by detecting changes in electrical capacitance caused by the proximity of a finger or other conductive object. The switch senses these changes and triggers an electrical signal.

The key advantage of capacitive switches is their durability, reliability, and resistance to environmental factors such as moisture and dust. They also offer improved performance and response times, making them suitable for high-speed and high-precision applications.

Another advantage of capacitive switches is their customization. They can be designed to meet the specific needs of each application, from customizing the shape, size, surface design, and location of the switch elements to the electrical characteristics of the switch itself.

At TouchScreenMan, we are committed to providing our clients with the best possible solutions for their capacitive switch needs. Whether you’re looking for a standard off-the-shelf switch or a custom solution designed to meet your specific requirements, our team of experts is here to help.

Dr Pan: Welcome to DISPLAY Museum. I am Dr Pan, the curator of Museum.

Greg: Hello, Dr Pan. I am Greg. I came to here to learn about thin film capacitive touch sensor.

Dr Pan: Hello,Greg. Thin Film capacitive touch sensor is the simplified version of surface capacitive touch screen. It is less than 0.3 mm, as thin as a blade.

Let’s look at the structure. From top to bottom, electrode pattern and conductive coating are functional layers, the bottom layer PET is supporting layer.

There are four electrodes on the four corners for surface capacitive touch screen to detect the location of the touch, therefore there are at least 4 wires. Meanwhile, there is only one wire to detect the existence of the contact for the touch sensor. We can see that it is practically an induction switch.

Greg: Dr Pan, do you mean only one wire matters no matter how many wires it has ?

Dr Pan: Not really. It depends on how many active areas in the touch sensor. Normally, one touch

sensor only has one active area, therefore only one wire is needed.

Check this one and there are three active areas and it needs 3 wires. The other three wires are unnecessary and empty.

We only use the 6-wire FPC to meet the requirements of FPC connector.

Greg: Thank you, Dr Pan. Now I got it.

Dr Pan: Welcome to contact us if you have any question.

Materials

Capacitive switches consist of several key components, including a flexible polymer layer, a conductive material, and an electrical circuit. The flexible polymer layer provides the switch with durability, flexibility, and resistance to environmental factors such as moisture and dust. The conductive material, which is typically made of metal or a conductive coating, is used to make and break electrical connections. Finally, the electrical circuit is used to detect changes in capacitance, which occur when a user touches the switch.

The materials used in the construction of capacitive switches play a critical role in determining the performance and reliability of the switch. Choosing the right materials is essential to ensure that the switch meets the specific needs of each application, and to ensure that the switch is durable, reliable, and resistant to environmental factors.

Production process and delivery time

The production process and delivery time for custom capacitive switches at TouchScreenMan involves several key steps:

  1. Communication: To start the process, you need to provide details about your specific requirements. This could involve a video or face-to-face conference to fully understand your needs and answer questions such as the application of the product, timeline, and problem to be solved.
  2. Design: After the initial communication, the next step is design. You will be asked to fill out online forms with basic information about the product, such as the custom capacitive touch screen form.
  3. Quote: Once the preliminary drawings are approved, an official quotation will be provided, including unit prices, tooling fees, and other details. If you agree with the prices, you will need to make the payment. If not, the design can be revised to make it more cost-effective.
  4. Prototypes: Based on the approved tooling orders, prototypes will be built to test the efficacy of the design. This step requires approval of the official drawings and typically takes 7 to 25 days.
  5. Validation: The customer will validate the custom design before moving into larger production. It is common to make several prototypes until the customer is satisfied, with no extra cost beyond the tooling fee.
