The State of the Touch‐Screen Market in 2010

Abstract

Touch screens are in widespread use, due to the intuitive interfaces they enable, which can save time and increase productivity. Falling component prices have also spurred adoption, with consumer products increasingly being designed around touch screens. Touch‐screen devices are also widely perceived as cool and fun.

Electromagnetic field analysis of capacitive touch panels

“…These phones attracted considerable attention from the users for their innovative input interface. Since then, the touch interface has become a "must have" feature in mobile phones [3,4].…”

P.132: Enhancing the Visual Performance of Touch Screen Displays

“…[4] This precaution is given in recognition that a myriad of different touch screen technologies have been developed for displays. [5] Thus far, all commodity sensor technologies have limitations that restrict their use for avionics. For example, many lack the tactile properties important to prevent accidental activation.…”

“…A surface-capacitive touch screen, however, uses a non-patterned transparent-conductive film and detection electrodes at four corners [3][4]. Even though the screen size increases, the number of detection electrodes is fixed at four.…”
