The most important decision in choosing the best touch screen display for your application will be the type of touch technology screens to use. There are five major types of touch screens, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.  Some have multi touch capability. All are TAA-Compliant touch screens. The 5 major types of touch screen technology are:

Touch screens will obviously require cleaning and disinfecting due to the high number of contact and touch points. Special care must be taken not to damage the touch screen display face, especially for 5-wire resistive touchscreen monitors. Their surface can easily be permanently damaged by corrosive cleaning agents (bleach, ammonia, etc.) or abrasive materials (dirty cloths, steel wool). Please see ourmonitor cleaning guidelines, andmonitor COVID-disinfecting guidelinesfor more specific details. These guidelines will help ensure you keep your touch screens clean, and safely disinfected from germs or viruses.

Imagine never having to constantly replace your office’s touchscreen monitors due to the humid conditions. With an industrial monitor, you could have a touchscreen in your office that lasts for years.

In a factory or warehouse, there is a lot of moving around of heavy equipment. An industrial touchscreen can withstand being bumped or jostled by a forklift or other machinery.

Dust and other particulates are also common in these environments. An industrial touchscreen monitors is designed to keep these particulates out, so they don’t interfere with the inner workings of the monitor.

In a medical laboratory, it is important to have a touchscreen that can be easily cleaned. An industrial monitor is designed with a smooth, non-porous surface that can be easily wiped down.

Medical laboratories also need to be able to sterilize their equipment. An industrial touchscreen can withstand being exposed to high temperatures, so it can be properly sterilized.

In the civil engineering field, there are often outdoor projects. An industrial touchscreen can withstand being exposed to the elements, so it can be used in these outdoor projects.

There is also a lot of dirt and debris in the civil engineering field. An all in one industrial touch screen is designed to keep these particulates out, so they don’t interfere with the inner workings of the monitor.

Desktop monitors are consumer grade monitors that most of the world’s population uses as a display for their computer. An industrial touch screen monitor is basically a desktop monitor that is stripped down to the bare chassis and components with a touch glass overlay integrated to make it easier for Original Engineer Manufacturers (OEMs) to integrate the unit into a larger enclosure. For the most part, an Industrial Touch Screen Monitor is best known as an open frame touch screen monitor or an open frame monitor. The unit itself is a metal chassis that holds the internal components of the monitor, along with the LCD panel together with no housing or bezel. A key component that industrial touch screen monitors have is that all components are made of industrial grade materials and will typically last longer and be much more durable than that of consumer-grade products. With Caltron’s Industrial Touch Screen Monitors all mechanical dimensions of the unit will remain the same throughout the lifetime of the monitor. In most cases, industrial touch screen monitors have parts that are much easier to replace or repair, if there is a damaged component.

Industrial touch screen monitors are suited for heavy-duty applications that are continuously being used, whether by workers or the public. A few good examples would be CNC machines for industrial applications. In this type of environment, industrial touch screen monitors are always being put to the test to endure harsh operating conditions, where the unit needs to last, otherwise the whole unit will not function. Another example of a harsh environment would be a Kiosk. Often, industrial grade touch screen monitors are integrated into a Kiosk to endure the constant approach of people who will put the Kiosk through lots of abuse. In general, an industrial touch screen monitor is primarily used to integrate into larger enclosures or machines to operate. Industrial touch screen monitors will most likely be used in applications that require a durable monitor that can last a long time and be put through a series of harsh operating conditions.

This technology is becoming incredibly pervasive, with most cell phones, tablets, ticket vending machines, ATM’s, self-service kiosks and even car GPS systems being operated by touch screen technology. What you’re unlikely to know if you’re not involved in the industry is that there are five different kinds of touch screen technologies and each one boasts a unique suite of functions and benefits, which we shall be exploring in this blog.

The questions we will seek to answer are: what are the different types of touch screens? And which one would best suit the demands of your business or application?

5-Wire Resistive, Surface Capacitive, Projected Capacitive, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) and Infrared are all different kinds of touch screen technology. Let’s take a closer look at each and their defining characteristics and benefits…

5-Wire resistive is the most common form of touch technology used today. A resistive touch screen consists of a film screen covered by a glass panel, both of which are layered by a thin metallic sheet with a slim gap between them. When you press the screen with your finger, the two metallic sheets come together and in making contact, an electric current is generated telling the device where the point of contact has been made.

The advantage of 5-wire resistive touch technology is that is can be controlled or operated using any object, be it a finger, a pencil, stylus or gloved hand. All that’s needed is a precise point of pressure on the screen. Another benefit of this technology is that it is the least expensive and is low on power consumption. 5-Wire resistive touch screens are also resistant to liquids and surface contaminants, such as moisture, dust, grease and oil.

The only negative things to be said for 5-wire resistive technology are that the touch screens tends to offer a lower image quality and the polyester film that covers the screen can be vulnerable to marring and scratching by sharp objects.

Surface Capacitive is another commonplace touch technology, which consists of a glass panel beneath a transparent electrode layer beneath a protective screen or cover. Surface Capacitive monitors are activated and controlled by naked skin, as they react to the static electrical capacity of the human body. As such, this touch technology can only be operated by a human finger or by an electrically charged stylus pen.

The advantages of Surface Capacitive touch technology is that it offers users a better image quality than 5-wire resistive touch. The screen tends to be more durable and boasts excellent water, grease and dust resistance, as well as a high resistance to scratching.

The potential problem with Surface Capacitive is that it requires a bare finger or capacitive stylus in order to be activated, which can be frustrating in environments where hands need to be gloved, such as in medical healthcare facilities or restaurant kitchens, for example. This particular touch technology also tends to be sensitive to Electromagnetic (or Radio Frequency) Interference (EMI/RFI).

Surface Capacitive touch screens can only be activated by a bare finger or with a charged stylus. Projected Capacitive touch screens can be operated even if the user is wearing thin cotton gloves or surgical gloves.

A Projected Capacitive touch screen consists of an IC chip and a transparent electrode film, which have been embedded in a sheet of glass. This creates a 3D electrostatic field, which is interfered with when a finger comes into contact with the screen, thereby allowing the device to determine the precise location of the touch points.

The advantage of Projected Capacitive touch technology is that it supports beautiful image clarity, is resistant to liquids and other surface contaminants, and is even more resistant to nicks and scratches than Surface Capacitive screens. One of the greatest benefits of this touch technology, however, is that it boasts multi-touch function.

The only drawbacks is that a Projected Capacitive screen can only be activated by a bare finger, or by fingers clad in surgical gloves or thin cotton gloves. Also it tends to be sensitive to EMI/RFI.

For You? Projected Capacitive touch technology overcomes some of the challenges of Surface Capacitive, enabling it to offer solutions in a greater variety of industries, such as the medical healthcare field. This, together with its crystal image clarity and multi-touch function make it perfect for a great suite of applications.

Surface Acoustic Wave or SAW touch technology makes use of a series of piezoelectric transducers (devices that convert variations in pressure into an electrical signal) and receivers along the periphery of the screen. This creates an invisible network of ultrasonic waves on the surface of the panel that, when touched, are absorbed at the contact point. This tells the device where the screen has been touched and this data is sent to the computer.

The great thing about SAW touch technology is that it is easily activated by anything really, whether it’s bare skin or a heavily gloved finger, which is a benefit it offers over all the other touch technologies discussed thus far. Another advantage of Surface Acoustic Wave screens is that they offer high visibility, excellent image clarity and the best scratch resistance of all. SAW monitors are also exceptionally easy to use, which is why this particular technology is so popular with high-end touch monitor manufacturers.

The drawbacks to SAW is that it cannot be operated using hard items such as a fingernail, pen or credit card, although this isn’t much of a disadvantage. Also, the screen has to be kept clean because solid contaminants can create unresponsive areas and water droplets may cause false-triggering, which can be a bit of a pain in moist environments, such as kitchens, restaurants, bars, etc.

For You? If you’re looking for top quality touch technology with fantastic image clarity, an accurate touch response and the ability to be activated with both a gloved or ungloved finger, SAW is the one for you! Just keep your monitor clean.

Infrared (IR) monitors make use of IR receivers and emitters to create an invisible network of light beams across the screen. This negates the need for an additional protective layer or screen over the display and the result is the best possible image clarity and quality. When an object comes close to the screen, the infrared light beams become interrupted and the sensors tell the computer the location of the touch point/s.

The advantage of infrared (IR) touch technology is that it offers unparalleled light transmission and image quality – the best of all the touch technologies, in fact. It boasts unlimited “touch-life” and is totally impervious to surface scratches. There are a few disadvantages to discuss, however. IR touch technology is highly sensitive, so a build-up of grease, dust or oil on the screen can cause it to malfunction. Additionally, coming too close to the screen can cause the technology to activate.

These screens, which are at the top end of the price spectrum, are not water resistant – and in fact won’t operate properly if moisture gets on them – and they may be sensitive to ambient light interference.

For You? If your touch screen application takes place outside or in any exposed environment, IR touch technology wouldn’t be the ideal choice. If, however, you require state-of-the-art optical performance and a gorgeous, crystal clear display, and cost isn’t a major concern, IR touch technology could be a great option for you!

Projected Capacitive touch technology measures the capacitance at each electrode in the touchscreen grid, this capacitance is affected when you finger, or stylus, is nearby which means these screens can be used with any type of thin glove.

Typical Capacitive touch screens (also known as Surface Capacitive or non-projected) have an extremely small amount of electrical charge on the glass surface. When you touch the glass with your finger, stylus, or material that can hold a charge, a small amount of electrical charge transfers from the glass to your finger or stylus. The touchscreen senses the decrease in capacitance and detects where you pressed on the screen. This type of touchscreen cannot be used with thin latex gloves for example since latex does not hold a charge.

See article "Why use a Capacitive Touch Screen PC in an Industrial Application?" for more information on uses for capacitive touchscreens in industrial applications.

A touchscreen monitor incorporates the function of the pointing device into the display, replacing both mouse and keyboard. Interaction with the computer takes place via a system which detects contact with the screen surface.

Resistive screens are differentiated by the number of wires they have. The five-wire system compensates for their fragility, making them more durable and less prone to scratches and cracks.

Capacitive models respond to the transfer of electrical charges when touched, and cannot be used while wearing a glove. They are very bright, but have a fragile surface coating. Projected capacitive versions take advantage of the proximity transfer effect. Their surface is protected by reinforced glass.

Infrared technology uses light detection, the screen responding even before it is touched. However, it offers limited resolution and is prone to accidental activation. The most common type is the surface acoustic wave (SAW) screen. It responds to a wide variety of touch techniques, some screens even taking into account the amount of pressure applied. It is very bright and has excellent resolution.

In addition to size and resolution, choice of touchscreen will depend on the conditions under which it will be used and the possible need for multi-touch capability.
