Capacitive Touch VS. Resitive Touch
Capacitive touch screen:
Pros:
Pros:
- Multi touch support available
- Visibility good even in sunlight
- Highly sensitive to finger touch leading to ease of use
- Not prone to dust particles
- Glossy look and feel
- Need to have atleast 5% humidity to achieve capacitive effect
- More expensive than Resistive touch screen
- Doesn't work with inanimate objects/fingernails/gloved fingers
- Latest technology, may need to evolve a bit more!
Resistive touch screen:
Pros:
- Relatively cheaper
- Can operate with any pointing devices like stylus, pen, nail etc
- Can operate at any level of humidity
- Ease of use, as it could be used even with your winter gloves on!
- Very useful for people using handwriting recongition system, due to ease of use with a stylus!
- More accurate than capacitive touch screen!
- Old technology and hence more reliable!
- Multi touch support not available. Though technology did evolve after some modifications with the existing resistive touch screen circuitry, its still not 100% developed yet!
- Highly sensitive. As it can operate with almost any sort of pointing devices, can be more vulnerable with dust particles!
- Poor visibility in sunlight, mostly due to multiple layers reflecting light!
- Screen, being sensitive at the upper layer, can be more vulnerable to scratches!
