Advantages of using capacitive screens in industrial monitor:

  1. Multi-touch.

  2. High positioning accuracy.


The disadvantages of capacitive screen in industrial control are as follows:

  1. Operators in industrial control industries usually wear gloves and frequently remove gloves to operate capacitive screens, which is obviously not suitable.

  2. Capacitance screens are more susceptible to temperature, humidity, electromagnetic interference and other environmental effects, which is obviously not suitable for industrial control with relatively poor working environment.

  3. Capacitance screens are relatively expensive at present, especially for capacitance screens that support multi-touch characteristics.



Advantages of using resistive screens in industrial monitor:

  1. The cost is low and the reaction sensitivity is good.

  2. It can adapt to all kinds of harsh environments, and can operate industrial monitor with anything.


The disadvantages of resistive screen in industrial control are as follows:

  1. The screen yellows easily.

  2. The transmittance of the screen is not as good as that of the capacitive screen.

  3. Soft screens need to be deformed to some extent. For those easy-to-touch applications, they are easy to break. The surface of capacitive screens is said to have a very strong material, which can support a certain amount of thumping.



So is it better to choose capacitive screen or resistance screen?

When choosing the suitable industrial LCD screen and industrial touch screen, it needs to be decided by the application environment, the application population and the product market. Usually through cost, accuracy, resistance, environmental adaptability and other aspects to determine the capacitive touch screen and resistance touch screen selection.

In view of the above, both capacitive and resistive screens have their own advantages and disadvantages. Users still need to select the products with the highest price ratio according to their specific needs.
