A capacitive touchscreen is a type of display that detects touch input through changes in the electrical charge on its surface. It consists of a glass panel coated with a transparent conductor, typically indium tin oxide (ITO). When a user touches the screen, their finger, which conducts electricity, disturbs the screen’s electrostatic field. This disturbance is measured by sensors at various points on the screen, allowing the system to determine the precise location of the touch.
Capacitive Touchscreens are touch-sensitive displays using electrical capacitance to detect input, offering superior sensitivity and multi-touch capabilities.
