Touchscreens are of two types:<br><ol><li>Resistive</li><li>Capacitive</li></ol><h2><a name="Resistive_Touchscreen"></a>Resistive Touchscreen</h2>Aresistive touchscreen has several layers separated by anarrow gap. When the user touches the surface of the display with astylus or finger, layers touch each other and the electrical circuit iscompleted. This on the other hand tells the device where the user istouching it and the command to process. Because the layers areseparated by thin spaces in a resistive touchscreen, user will have toapply more pressure to operate the phone.<br><br>See Also<br><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br><a href="http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FResistive_touchscreen&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzftNKcRxcnye8uztXEVwLo5Xs9mBw">Resistive Touchscreen</a><br><br><h2><a name="Capacitive_Touchscreen"></a>Capacitive Touchscreen</h2>Capacitivetouchscreen is coated with a material that stores electrical charges.When the user touches the screen panel lightly, circuit gets completedand information is send for processing. A capacitive touchscreen isdifferent from resistive touchscreen because it is more sensitive andcan only be controlled by fingers. This screen type also has highclarity in comparison to resistive touchscreen.<br><br>See Also<br><br><a href="http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fgps.about.com%2Fod%2Fglossary%2Fg%2Fcapacitive_touchscreen.htm&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzf1xAc3s1pAWv4L9Zru04rNrLr82g">Capacitive Touchscreen</a><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><b><a href="http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fgps.about.com%2Fod%2Fglossary%2Fg%2Fcapacitive_touchscreen.htm&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzf1xAc3s1pAWv4L9Zru04rNrLr82g" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 204); text-decoration: underline;"></a></b></span></span></body></html>
