Resistive Touchscreen

4-Wire and 5-Wire Resistive Touch Screen Technology

4 Wire Resistive technology available on the FPT-06410 and FPT-0642O 6.4 inch open frame monitor only. Provides full functionality in a low-profile unit. It is best suited for smaller screen sizes, such as for mobile consumer products or portable test equipment, where compact size and low power draw is a priority. The 4-wire touch screens also provide high clarity and durability. 5 Wire Resistive technology excels in reliability, durability, and expected product life. Impervious to environmental conditions such as liquid spills and splashes, humidity, and wash down, these screens are the most contamination-resistant available. They deliver drift-free operation for a lifetime of 35 million finger touches.

Resistive touch technology consists of a glass or like panel that is coated with electrically conductive and resistive layers. The thin layers are separated by invisible separator dots. While turned on, an electrical current moves through the screen casting a sort of net across the monitor face. When you touch the screen (creating pressure) the layers are pressed together, causing a change in the electrical current and a touch command to be registered.

Reliability is impressive because resistive touch screens do not have to be recalibrated when environmental conditions change. Resistive-type touch screens are usually the most practical. Resistive screens are extremely durable and can withstand the harshest of environments. Resistive technology is the "work horse" of touch technologies.

This type of screen is recommended in more applications than any other touch technology-for example, in hand-held computers, PDAs, industrial equipment, control or automation systems, grocery/convenience point of sale(POS) equipment and point of purchase (POP) systems/kiosks, restaurant registers, medical equipment, hospitality kiosks, and consumer electronics.
