A Review of Technologies for Sensing Contact Location on the Surface of a Display
A review of technologies for sensing contact location on the surface of a display Geoff Walker (SID Member) Abstract — Touchscreen interactive devices have become increasingly important in both consumer and commercial applications. This paper provides a broad overview of all touchscreen technologies in use today, organized into 13 categories with 38 variations. The 13 categories are projected capacitive, analog resistive, surface capacitive, surface acoustic wave, infrared, camera-based optical, liquid crystal display in-cell, bending wave, force sensing, planar scatter detection, vision-based, electromagnetic resonance, and combinations of technologies. The information provided on each touchscreen technology includes a little history, some basic theory of operation, the most common applications, the key advantages and disadvantages, a few current issues or trends, and the author’s opinion of the future outlook for the technology. Because of its dominance, this paper begins with projected capacitive; more information is provided on this technology than on any of the other touch technologies that are discussed. This paper covers only technologies that operate by contact with a display screen; this excludes technologies such as 3D gesture recognition, touch on opaque devices such as interactive whiteboards, and proximity sensing. This is not a highly technical paper; it sacrifices depth of information on any one technology for breadth of information on multiple technologies. Keywords — touch technologies; touchscreen; touch panel; projected capacitive; in-cell; on-cell. DOI # 10.1002/jsid.100 1 Introduction 1.1 Context Touchscreen interactive devices have become increasingly As shown in Fig. 1, analog resistive and p-cap touch important in both consumer and commercial applications, technologies dominate the touch landscape today. -
Review of Capacitive Touchscreen Technologies: Overview, Research Trends, and Machine Learning Approaches
sensors Review Review of Capacitive Touchscreen Technologies: Overview, Research Trends, and Machine Learning Approaches Hyoungsik Nam * , Ki-Hyuk Seol, Junhee Lee, Hyeonseong Cho and Sang Won Jung Department of Information Display, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Korea; [email protected] (K.-H.S.); [email protected] (J.L.); [email protected] (H.C.); [email protected] (S.W.J.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-961-0925 Abstract: Touchscreens have been studied and developed for a long time to provide user-friendly and intuitive interfaces on displays. This paper describes the touchscreen technologies in four categories of resistive, capacitive, acoustic wave, and optical methods. Then, it addresses the main studies of SNR improvement and stylus support on the capacitive touchscreens that have been widely adopted in most consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablet PCs, and notebook PCs. In addition, the machine learning approaches for capacitive touchscreens are explained in four applications of user identification/authentication, gesture detection, accuracy improvement, and input discrimination. Keywords: touchscreen; capacitive; display; SNR; stylus; machine learning 1.
