circuitry to create an electrical field able to
detect the presence of a human finger or other
conducting object entering its field.
– PCB or Film Keypad
– Excellent Response and Optical Performance
– A protective overcoat will provide scratch
resistance and excellent clarity
– Withstand contaminants such as dirt, water,
grease, running liquid, and harsh chemicals
– Reduced Power Consumption
– No Embossing Required
– Backlighting
– Electronics Development

Touch Screen Technology
 Resistive touch is the least expensive
technology and still used in application
on very small devices and where there
is minimum repetitive user input
needed.
 Projective Capacitive Touch
Technology - This technology will work
with a finger touch, finger with glove
touch (limited to material and
thickness) and special stylist.
 Infrared touch also called IR touch is
the generally the most expensive
solution to implement. This solution
most widely used in the military and
harsh industrial environments.
