It's quite rare to come across a mobile device without a touchscreen these days. From smartphones to tablets to personal computers, touchscreen technology is used in most electronic devices. But ...

The capacitive vs. resistive touchscreen dispute has been more or less settled with the popularity of the iPhone and other lozenge-shaped touchscreen devices, but that doesn’t mean the loser has to ...

RIM have applied for a patent which details a hybrid touchscreen, combining both resistive and capacitive elements to improve accuracy as well as support multitouch, gestures and other functionality.

Smartphones and tablets have made touch-enabled interfaces an integral part of our lives, with touch rapidly becoming the user interface of choice across most applications and industries. A simple ...

Freescale Semiconductor has announced the industry's first solution to combine gesture recognition, on resistive screen technology and capacitive touch sensing in a single integrated circuit.

RIM's no stranger to playing different tricks with touchscreens, and it looks like it may have another up its sleeve, with a recent patent application revealing some plans for a hybrid capacitive / ...

When it comes to touchscreens, you just can’t beat the feeling of a nice, high-quality capacitive screen. If you’ve been using an iPhone, Motorola Droid, or any one of many capacitive smartphones made ...

Fig 1. Rohm’s BU21023/BU21024 series allows multi-touch detection in resistive touchscreens. Fig 2. David Lussey, Peratech’s CTO, demonstrates the transparency of the company’s QTC Clear material.

Resistive touchscreens are typically found in retail electronic point of sale (EPOS) devices and companies have traditionally used them in industry. These have several layers, including two thin ...
