Capacitive Sensing - Comparison With Other Touchscreen Technologies

Comparison With Other Touchscreen Technologies

Capacitive touchscreens are more responsive than resistive touchscreens.

A standard stylus cannot be used for capacitive sensing, but special capacitive styli, which are conductive, exist for the purpose. One can even make a capacitive stylus by putting some form of conductive material, such as anti-static conductive foam on the tip of a standard stylus. Capacitive touchscreens are more expensive to manufacture and are significantly less accurate than resistive touchscreens. Some cannot be used with gloves, and can fail to sense correctly with even a small amount of water on the screen.

Power supplies with a high level electronic noise can reduce accuracy.

Famous quotes containing the words comparison with and/or comparison:

    Clay answered the petition by declaring that while he looked on the institution of slavery as an evil, it was ‘nothing in comparison with the far greater evil which would inevitably flow from a sudden and indiscriminate emancipation.’
    State of Indiana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Certainly there is not the fight recorded in Concord history, at least, if in the history of America, that will bear a moment’s comparison with this, whether for the numbers engaged in it, or for the patriotism and heroism displayed.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
