      Touch screen: what is it ?

      

      A touch screen (Touch Screen, in English) is a computer device that manages both display and pointing by replacing the mouse with the finger or a stylus. It thus makes it possible to select some of its areas by contact.

      Use and history of touch screens

      The use of touch screens was popularized by the advent of smartphones and tablets tablets . There are also tactile screens in many other terminals such as GPS, multimedia scaper, computers computers or desktops, video game consoles or interactive terminal terminals .

      If Apple has largely contributed to the development of touch screens with the release of the iPhone iPhone in 2007, work on this technology date from the 1950s with the creation of the first capacitive sensors by the Canadian musician Hugh Le Caine. The following decade has seen the first touch screen based on infrared infrared technology designed by researchers from the University of Illinois (United States). An innovation taken up by IBM IBM which will market it in a computer called the Plato IV (Programd Logic for Automated Teaching Operations) in 1972.

      There are several touch screen technologies. Discover the most widespread below.

      Resistive touch screen

      The Resistive Touch Tactile Screen Resistive Scope was invented in 1971 by Sam Hurst then a researcher at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He founded the company Elo TouchSystems which, even today, is a major player on the tactile technology market. The operation of the resistive touch screen is based on two conductive layers separated by a space. The pressure pressure of the finger or a stylus puts the two conductors in contact, which has the effect of circulating a current. Horizontal and vertical plates integrated into the edges of the screen make it possible to determine the position of the finger or stylus by measuring the tension on each ax. Quite simple in their operation, resistive touch screens have a short lifespan that does not exceed 10 million impacts.

      

      This diagram illustrates the operation of the resistive touch screen. Two conductive layers (n ° 4 and n ° 2) separated by microscopic wedges (n ° 3) are placed on a glass. When the user presses with his finger or a stylus, he causes contact between the two drivers, which has the effect of circulating a current. Horizontal and vertical plates integrated into the edges of the screen make it possible to determine the position of the finger or stylus by measuring the tension on each ax. © Mercury13, Wikimedia Commons, CC by-SA 3.0

      Capacitive touch screen

      A capacitive screen consists of a glass covered with a transparent transparent driver, generally based on Indium Indium tin oxide. The human body is also driver of electricity, when a finger lands on the surface, this creates a disturbance in the electrostatic field field of the screen that can be measured. Measuring systems placed in the four corners of the screen detect the value of this pressure loss and the comparison between the four sensors indicates the location of the point of contact. One of the technical advantages of this type of screen compared to resistive technology is that it offers greater transparency. However, it cannot be used with gloves.

      Infrared screen

      Infrared transmitters and receivers are arranged all around the screen frame to form an invisible frame to the eye above the glass. When the user puts his finger on the screen, he cuts the beam. This impact point is measured by a controller on a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. Infrared touch screens are very resistant and generally used on terminals intended for intensive use.

      Multipoint touch screen

      We are talking about multipoint multi-point touch screen screen when it is able to detect the support of several fingers simultaneously. This process was invented in the early 1980s by a researcher from the University of Toronto (Canada). In 1983, Hewlett Packard markets HP-150, the first computer with a multipoint touch screen.

      This technology is now very widespread on mobile terminals and computers because it allows tactile gestures that make it possible to carry out developed actions such as pinching or spreading the thumb and index to enlarge or rapes an image.
