Resistive Touch Screen Solutions
5-Wire Touch Screens
The 5-wire Resistive Touch Screen is the preferred solution for applications requiring durability and reliability. Similar to the 4-wire technology, the 5-wire touch screen also consists of a conductive glass bottom layer and conductive top film layer. The fundamental difference between the two is, in the 5-wire construction, all the electrodes are on the bottom layer and the top layer acts as a voltage-measuring probe. With this structure, the touch screen may still work properly even when the top layer is slightly scratched or damaged. The result is an accurate, durable and reliable touch screen that offers a higher touch life.
