2. Which touchscreen technology is best for my application?


We offer resistive and projected capacitive technologies, two of the most widely used touchscreen technologies on the market. But in general, it depends on your specific application, especially the product's EMI immunity, cost considerations, product durability, product performance, etc.

Resistive technology is mainly used in industrial control or "mission critical" applications such as military and avionics due to its extremely high immunity to electromagnetic interference and reliability. In addition, it is also suitable for some POS-like applications because it is suitable for many types of touch, such as credit cards, passive stylus and some handheld electronic devices, etc., and its low cost.

Projected capacitive screen is the most widely used touch technology today, mainly due to its durability, multi-touch and gesture capabilities and its good optical performance, compared with resistive screens, high cost and low resistance to electromagnetic interference, But improvements in both areas have increased significantly as production volumes have increased and manufacturers have grown in size and improved technology. It is the first choice for most application industries.
