Introduction:
A touch screen is an electronic visual display that can detect the presence and location of a touch within the display area. Touch screens can sense Finger and other passive objects, such as a stylus. However, if the objects sensed is active, as with a light pen.

History:
In 1971 Dr. Sam Hurst, founder of Elographics developed the first touch opaque sensor “Elograph” at the University of Kentucky.
In 1974 He developed the first real touch screen. In 1977, Elographics developed the five-wire resistive technology
then with the backing of Siemens Corporation, developed a curved glass sensor called the Touch screen.
The new transparent technology, AccuTouch, was later developed by the founders of Elographics, Dr. Hurst and Bill Colwell.
Now days, Multipoint touchscreen facilitates the tracking of more than one finger on the screen.

2. Controller:
The controller is a small PC card that connects between the touch sensor and the PC. It takes information from the touch sensor and translates it into information that PC can understand.

3. Software Driver:
The driver is a software that allows the touch screen and computer to work together. It tells the operating system how to interpret the touch event information that is sent from the controller.

1.Resistive:
Two layers of conductive material Touch creates contact between
resistive layers completing circuit Voltage in circuit changes based on
position Controller determines location
based on voltages Any material can trigger sensors

2.Infrared:
Uses infrared LEDs and matching photodetectors
Touching screen interrupts LEDs Cameras detect reflected LED
caused by touch Controller able to calculate
coordinates from camera data

3.Capacitive: Glass panel with conductive layer
(Indium Tin Oxide) Small amount of voltage applied to
four corners of touch screen Touch draws minute
amount of current creating voltage drop
Coordinates of point of contact calculated by controller

4. Surface acoustic wave: Surface consists of glass overlay with
transmitting and receiving transducers Electrical signals sent to the
transmitting transducers converts to ultrasonic waves
Waves are directed across screen by reflectors then directed to receiving transducers
Received values are compared to stored digital maps to calculate x and y coordinates

Applications:
Many games use the touchscreens as a primary controlling device.
The popularity of smart phones, ATMs, and many types of information appliances is driving the demand for touchscreens.
Touchscreens are popular in heavy industry and in other situations, such as museum displays or room automation.
Casino and other gaming systems Computer access for the physically disabled Point-of-sale terminals Restaurant systems Employee time clocks

Advantages:► Mostly used in manufacturing and medical applications since it
can be completely sealed. ► Operated using a stylus or a gloved finger.► Mechanically stronger ► Clearer► More wear resistant
Disadvantages:►It is very sensitive and can be activated by stray touches.►Low resolution ►Parallax problems

Conclusion: Designers are trying to use touch screen to simplify input
commands Today , touch screen has becomes adopted by computers users
of all abilities because it is simple, fast and innovative. In future there is no usage of mouse and keyboards as they will
be replaced by touch screen.
