Multitouch applications with resistive touch technology.
The PCAP technology is currently the most common input medium for multitouch applications. However, there are certain applications that still require resistive touch technology. What is the reason for choosing the resistive multi-touch technology? In which applications will it be used?
Why resistive technology?
Reasons for using resistive touch technology are the absolute resistance to extreme EMC interference, the need for an actuating force and the safe function with conductive media such as water, blood or salt solution on the full-surface touch panel. In addition, compared to a PCAP touch screen, a resistive touch screen can be completely shielded at the front with a metal mesh grille.
