What is the difference between a capacitive touch screen and a resistive touch screen?

The difference between capacitive touch screen and resistive touch screen is as follows:

1. Comparison of touch sensitivity

capacitive touch screen

The capacitive touch screen comes from the slightest touch on the surface of a charged finger, which can also activate the capacitive sensing system below the screen. Inanimate objects, nails, and gloves are ineffective, and handwriting recognition is more difficult.

Resistive touch screen

Resistive touch screens need to use pressure to make contact between the layers of the screen, and can be operated with fingers (even with gloves on), fingernails, stylus, etc. Supporting stylus is very important in the Asian market, where gesture and text recognition are valued.

2. Accuracy comparison

capacitive touch screen

The theoretical accuracy of a capacitive touch screen can reach several pixels, but in reality it is limited by the contact area of the finger, so that it is difficult for the user to accurately click on a target smaller than 1 square centimeter.

Resistive touch screen

Resistive touch screens are accurate to at least a single display pixel, can be seen with a stylus, facilitate handwriting recognition, and facilitate operation in interfaces that use small control elements.
