Resistive screens are robust and reliable in harsh industrial environments. Because they respond to pressure, operators can operate them with gloves on. They are less susceptible to interference from dust, dirt or moisture, ensuring the reliability of machines and processes.
In the medical sector, operation with gloves is essential for hygiene. Resistive touchscreens make this possible. They are used in diagnostic devices and patient monitors where precision and reliability are crucial under all conditions.
For interactive kiosks and digital billboards in public spaces, capacitive displays are ideal. They offer bright, vibrant image quality and an intuitive multi-touch experience that users are used to from smartphones. The glass top layer is also durable and scratch-resistant.
Capacitive technology dominates the smartphone and tablet market. Its high sensitivity, accuracy and support for multi-touch gestures such as 'pinch-to-zoom' are indispensable for a smooth and modern user experience in consumer applications.
Resistive screens can be operated with any object that applies pressure, including a pen or gloved finger. Capacitive screens require a conductive object, such as a bare finger or special stylus, to detect touch.
Capacitive screens offer superior optical clarity (up to 90% light transmission) for sharper and more vivid images. The extra layers in a resistive screen reduce light transmission (about 75%), resulting in a slightly less bright image.
A key advantage of Projected Capacitive (PCAP) technology is its support for multi-touch. This enables intuitive gestures such as zooming and rotating, which resistive screens, which usually detect only one touch point, cannot do.
The glass top layer of a capacitive screen is highly scratch-resistant and durable. Resistive screens with their flexible top layer are more sensitive to scratches, but are generally more resistant to interference from liquids and dust on the screen surface.
At Dytos, we understand that each industry has specific requirements for touch solutions. That's why we offer a wide range of products and services designed to meet these diverse needs.
