Touch screen and touch design a comprehensive interpretation


Usually, touch controller is a small micro controller chip, which is located in touch sensor and PC/or embedded system between controller. The chip can assembly to internal system controller board, also can put paste into glass touch sensor on the flexible printed circuits (FPC). Touch controller will extract from touch sensor information, and converts it into PC or embedded system controller can



Touch screen is a make multimedia information or control the new-look equipment, it gives the multimedia system with a brand new look, is extremely attractive new multimedia interactive equipment. The developed countries system designers and our country takes the lead to use the touch screen system designers have clearly know, touch screen for various application fields of computer is no longer is dispensable things, but indispensable equipment. It greatly simplifies the use of computers, even the computer know nothing, and so can exist, make computer more enchantful. To solve the public information market computer is unable to solve the problem. Along with the city to develop in the direction of information and computer network in the national life penetration, information query are already using touch screen realize - display content can touch forms. In order to help you to touch screen have a general understanding, the author here provide some relevant touch screen related knowledge, hope these content to everyone to use.

Touch the analysis technology

Beat out design in the product design is touch the most important first step. Touch screen on the supply chain many providers usually provides many confusing different components, and more time is some providers unite for terminal customers with a value chain. Figure 1 gives the touch screen to the ecosystem's structure diagram. Interestingly, whether in the latest notebook computer, or the latest touch screen mobile phone, the ecological system is the same.



Figure 1: touch screen controller analytic

1, the front panel or frame

The front panel or frame are the end products of the most surface. In some of the products, this frame will be transparent cover inclose, lest by external of severe weather, or wet influence, but also prevent the sensing products are score and failure. Sometimes, the outside box simply covering the top of the touch sensors, this kind of circumstance is only a decoration.

2, touch controller

Usually, touch controller is a small micro controller chip, which is located in touch sensor and PC/or embedded system between controller. The chip can assembly to internal system controller board, also can put paste into glass touch sensor on the flexible printed circuits (FPC). Touch controller will extract from touch sensor information, and converts it into PC or embedded system controller can understand information.

3, touch sensor

Touch screen "sensor" is a touch response surface with transparent glass plate. The sensor is put to the LCD above, make the touch panel display area can cover the viewing area. Now there are many kinds of different touch sensor technology, each using each other different methods to detect touch control input. Basically, these technologies are in touch, the current through the panel, so as to produce a voltage or signal changes. The voltage variation will be touch controller sensing, so as to determine the screen touch control position.

4, liquid crystal display (LCD)

The vast majority of touch screen system used in the traditional on LCD. Used to touch LCD products selection method and the traditional system is basic and same, including resolution, the articulation, the moving speed, cost, etc. But in touch screen another of the main consideration is radiation level. Due to touch the sensor technology based on touch panel is produced by the tiny electric change, can radiation many electrical noise LCD is the difficulty in the design. In the choice for the LCD touch system before, should and touch sensor provider negotiations.

5, system software

Touch screen driver software can come from the original manufacturers (such as mobile phone embedded OS), also can be then add software (as in the traditional PC add a touch screen). The software should be able to make touch screen and working system controller. It will tell product operating system how to analysis from the touch controller touch event information. In the PC type application, the vast majority of touch screen drive work like a mouse. This makes touch screen and in the same position on the screen of a continuous according to the mouse is very similar. In embedded systems, the embedded control driver must will appear on the screen information and receiving to the touch location comparison.

Three big touch technology

Resistive touch technology: resistance type touch technology is the most commonly used touch screen technology. Used for high business flow applications, and the water drops on the screen and other residue is immune. Resistive touch screen is usually the lowest cost solutions. Due to pressure is a reaction that can use fingers, gloved hand, touch pen, or as credit card this kind of other objects to touch.

Surface capacitance type touch technology: surface capacitance type touch technology provides the display resolution ratio resistance type touch commonly used in plastic film to much more clear. On the surface capacitance type display, is located in the display four corner of the sensor detection because touch cause capacitance change. This kind of touch screen can use finger or other capacitive object to realize touch incentive.

Protective capacitance type touch: protective capacitance type touch is only recently come into the market of a kind of technology. This technology can also provide excellent pervious to light quality, but it also has some specific surface capacitance type touch much better advantages. Projection type capacitance type touch don't need position calibration, and can provide much higher position accuracy. Projection type capacitance type touch another exciting place, that is, it also can support more touch.

Touch screen working principle

In order to operate convenience, people use touch screen to replace the mouse or keyboard. Work, we must first with your fingers or other objects touch installed in front of the display screen, and then system according to the fingers of the icon or menu position to locate choose
