First of all, we all know there are many industrial monitors with different touch. Among them, resistive touch and PCAP touch will be the most popular type which the customers use in the applications.
But there are also so many customer they don't know how to choose the touch, they will think about which one is better?
So here let's know about these two difference between them, and then it will be helpful to some extent.
Touch sensitivity
1. Resistive touch screen: It is necessary to use pressure to make contact with each layer of the screen. You can use your fingers (even with gloves), nails, stylus, etc. to operate. Support for stylus is important in the Asian market, where gestures and text recognition are valued.
2, capacitive touch screen: the most subtle contact from the surface of the charged finger can also activate the capacitive sensing system at the bottom of the screen. Inanimate objects, nails, and gloves are not valid. Handwriting recognition is more difficult.
The accuracy
1, the resistance touch screen: the accuracy of at least a single display pixel, can be seen with the stylus. It is easy to recognize by hand and helps to operate under the interface of small control elements.
2, capacitive touch screen: the theoretical accuracy can reach several pixels, but in fact will be limited by the finger contact area. It is difficult for the user to accurately click on a target of less than 1 cm 2 .
The cost
1, resistance touch screen: very low.
2, capacitive touch screen: different manufacturers of capacitive screen price is 10% to 50% more expensive than the resistance screen.
After know the difference, to trust that you will have a little understanding on them and hope it will help you to choose accord to your project.
Anrecson industrial touch monitor also can be divided into resistive touch and PCAP touch.
