    PRESENTATION ON TOUCH TECHNOLOGY IN MOBILES

    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.

    Dr. Samuel Hurst


    The father of the touch screen technology is Dr. Samuel Hurst. In 1971, while he was working as an instructor at the University of Kentucky Research Foundation, he had to read a great volume of information during the graduation exams. In an effort to save some time he invented the first touch sensor that he called lo graph(electronic graphics), which allowed him to enter data faster.

    First Touch Phone


    Apple was the first with a touch screen phone in 1983. Jason Ford of Elo Touch Systems, the company whose founder invented touch screen technology, for providing the touch technology. In 1971, the first "touch sensor" was developed by Doctor Sam Hurst.

    First Touch Mobile


    The Nokia 7710 is a first touch screen mobile phone model produced by Nokia. The 7710 is based on the Nokia 7700 which was never released.

    Construction of Touch screen


    A basic touch screen has three main components: a touch sensor, a controller, and a software driver. The touch screen is an input device, so it needs to be combined with a display and a PC or other device to make a complete touch input system.

    Touch Sensor
    A touch screen sensor is a clear glass panel with a touch responsive surface which is placed over a display screen so that the responsive area of the panel covers the viewable area of the display screen.

    The sensor generally has an electrical current or signal going through it and touching the screen causes a voltage or signal change. This voltage change is used to determine the location of the touch to the screen

    TOUCH SENSORS

    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.

    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.

    Most touch screen drivers today are a mouse-emulation type driver. This makes touching the screen the same as clicking your mouse at the same location on the screen.

    Types of Touch Technologies


    There are mainly 4 types of touch Technologies:1.Resistive 2. Surface acoustic wave 3. Capacitive

    4. Infrared

    Resistive
    A resistive touch screen panel is composed of several layers, the most important of which are two thin, metallic, electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap. When an object, such as a finger, presses down on a point on the panel's outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point. This causes a change in the electrical current, which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing. It is used in Grocery Stores, Hotels, Restaurants and Retail Stores.

    Advantages & Disadvantages of Resistive


    Advantages Activated by any stylus Very accurate Liquids won't affect touch screen performance Disadvantages Polyester surface can be damaged Lower endurance (35 million touches) Slow speed

    Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW)


    Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology uses ultrasonic waves that pass over the touch screen panel. When the panel is touched, a portion of the wave is absorbed. This change in the ultrasonic waves registers the position of the touch event and sends this information to the controller for processing. SAW touch screen technology is suggested for use in ATMs, Amusement Parks, Gaming Environments, Industrial Control Rooms etc.

    Advantages & Disadvantages of SAW


    Advantages High optical clarity Activated by a finger, gloved hand, or soft tip stylus Disadvantages Solid contaminants create non-touch areas until removed Doesn't support drag or draw effectively

    Capacitive
    A capacitive touch screen panel consists of an insulator such as glass, coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide (ITO). As the human body is also a conductor, touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the body's electrostatic field, measurable as a change in capacitance.

    Advantages & Disadvantages of Capacitive


    Advantages Scratch resistant, durable surface High endurance (225 million touches) Very accurate Good optical clarity Liquids won't affect touch screen performance Disadvantages Does not work with gloved fingers or stylus

    Infrared
    An infrared touch screen uses an array of X-Y infrared LED and photo detector pairs around the edges of the screen to detect a disruption in the pattern of LED beams. Infra-red bezels have proven to be a very reliable technology for use in ATMs,Medical Instrumentation and Transportation Tracking applications.

    Advantages & Disadvantages of Infrared Touch Screen


    Advantages -Highest quality of underlying image -Can be activated with almost any device -Higher accuracy than other technologies -Very high durability and reliability Disadvantages - Surface obstructions can cause a false touch It is very sensitive and can be activated by stray touches.

    Self capacitance "ghosting" (the red crosses) occurs when you place two fingers on the screen. The phone can't determine the exact position of the fingers and instead detects four instead of two contact points.
